The hotel needs major up grading!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great place to stay short term or long term. Quiet, good location by the marina with billion dollar views. But like everything close to the water, it is a little run down and from age and salt air. But for the East Bay - Oakland area it is definately a nice change of pace from the typical hotel in simular price ranges.

I arrived back to my room after dinner about 8:45 P.M. to discover that my key card would not open the door. I went back to the front desk and the nice lady tried several different key cards, non worked. She call her manager at home to come in to open the door. I am on medication for my heart and they were locked in the room. The manager arrived and […] tried everything the nice lady had already tried. After a long period of time he resorted to using a crow bar and ripped the door jam apart and pried the door open. It was now 12:15. I finally got another room at about 12:30 P.M. The device that would have normally been used to open the door was broken. The door lock simply had dead batteries that need to be replaced. I am the Director of Facilities and Building Maintenance so I am familiar with locks. This whole thing could have been handled in just a few minutes if staff were properly trained and lock repair equipment were in good working order. NOT FUN! Read more

Great rate and checked in late Sunday evening. Asked if 1st floor was available on the east wing. Nothing there but clerk said he had a unit on poolside of west building on first floor. It ended up a handicapped room but was very nice and bathroom was bigger than some apartment in NY City!!!!! Spotless in all areas as usual and quiet. Just another reason […] I love to stay in Alameda and the Marina Village Inn!! Read more

I asked them to replace my dead pillows and they told me to come and pick them up myself..and he told me that all the pillows are the same .. I woke with a nick pain

This feels like a place that is being milked by the owners. That is, they're taking out as much as they can without putting anything back. The main heater in the room did not work and they had provided a tiny space heater. I didn't even bother calling for maintenance, not believing there was any. The only reason I would go back is location, the same […] thing that sells houses. The hotel is in a great area, lots of trails for bike riding and walking, and has a nice view of the Oakland marina. In fact, it's right next door to the Oakland Yacht Club. But the big plus for me and my wife is that our daughter lives only 5 minutes away. I will go back again. Read more

the building is old and does not offer the acoustic amenities or security of newer buildings. Overall I would say that the one night stay was acceptable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The stay was very nice we will be back on our next date night

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Comfortable, quiet, clean retreat at the end of a long day with active grandkids.

The here did not work. The drapes had chocolate colored spots. I did not give them smell check but hope it was not you know what. If anyone chooses it for a stay, please check room upon arrival.

Small room, nice location, great little patio area.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was fine. Nothing exotic, but nice, clean, with a pleasant view of the Oakland estuary. I would stay at the hotel again, but next time I will call the hotel directly because the hotels dot com markup was high.

Older hotel but great location and responsive staff. I would definitely stay there again.

Older model-like environment, needs updating, newer tv, heater not working - had a portable unit in room, terrible coffee

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I stayed here to avoid driving long distances back and forth from school. It was in a very convenient location, close to food and stores. The staff was very nice and helpful. I enjoyed being right on the water by the marina. I just would have liked having better pillows, more substance and firmer; an additional blanket would be nice. The continental […] breakfast was a nice time. Read more

The staff was very helpful and accomodating (early check-in was no problem), and the location next to the water is beautiful and quiet. The carpet in the room could stand to be changed, and the hotel shows other signs of wear, but no complaints at all. The Marina Village is great value for money!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

No room coffee three of four mornings. Room not vacuumed. Breakfast a joke!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A previous stay was a lovely wharf front room which we enjoyed. This room was upstairs facing the yacht club. It was tiny, the bed was smaller than expected and quite saggy. We finally found the tissues hidden in a drawer and the room only had 3 little pillows. I doubt I will ever stay there again, nor would I recommend it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location is pretty good hotel is decent but the lady at the front desk seems a little unfriendly I could tell she didn't like her job. I had a non smoking room but clearly people were smoking I had to air the room out. The room wasn't that clean a couple towels seem to be used the room was very dusty very basic cable channels HBO was nice but for […] the price should have had more options. I liked that you could park where you could see your car and although a few sketchy guest it was pretty quiet. Over all not bad but definitely needs to be cleaner stricter non smoking policies and should be cheaper should not be 80to 100$ for this room should be a 60 to 70$ stay. Read more

This place is nothing fancy, but it's cheap, clean and comfortable. The sheets were not great, but I was tired and slept just fine.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very satisfying

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great location. Quiet and peaceful. Good walking in the area. The television could be improved. Otherwise excellent.

Don't try to find this hotel without a GPS if you are arriving at night. The street signs in the neighborhood are unlit and non-reflective, the sign on Atlantic Avenue for the hotel is unlit, and I couldn't see the hotel itself until I was right in front of it! The desk clerk admitted that other people had a hard time finding it, so it wasn't just me. […] But why haven't they done anything about it? They don't even have a map at the front desk to direct you if you call. They should have better written directions on the website, such as at least "It's to the right of the Oakland Yacht Club," which is the building you see as drive down the last street toward it. Other than that, the hotel is fine. It is away from traffic, so it is quiet. But it is also away from restaurants and anything else to do. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The free wi-fi worked well for me (about 1mb measured download speed). I would stay here again in similiar circumstances (now that I know how to find it). Read more

This hotel is really a motel but one that is hidden away. In the midst a very busy Bay Area the Marina Village is a great "quick" get-away.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Needs lots of help as the building deteriorates. The housekeeping was shabby.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very clean wonderful location and view. everything I needed for my stay, Wireless a bit slow but again I have never been anywhere wher it is fast even at the more expensive hotels... If needed I will stay again.

My girlfriends company had their christmas party on a large boat and we wanted to stay close and not drive home. This hotel was just what we were looking for. The lady at the front desk was a sweet heart and mad us feel very welcome and give us the best room in the house with great views. Kelley and I would stay here again if we ever come back into […] town. Read more

I had to go to Oakland for 1 day business and found this Hotel appealing because of the reviews and location. However, this hotel is old and while it is cleaned from a direct surface point of view, it appears that this hotel room requires repair and updating. Specifically, on the desk, I moved the clock radio and lamp over to make room for my computer […] and there was food on the desk. Therefore, a thorough cleaning of the desk was not done from the last guest. The vanity area where the coffee pot is kept, when I moved it over, there was standing dirty (coffee colored) water on the counter. When I plugged in the coffee maker, water came spitting out all over because apparently it was in the "on" position before it was unplugged. The shower has black mold along the inside door seam and in 1/3 of the tiled walls, mostly in the corner seam and also along the floor tiles. The continental breakfast was okay, coffee was weak, the machined apple juice tasted rancid and bitter. When I asked the attendant why there were bowls on the counter, he said, "Oh, those are for cereal, but we ran out of milk" Hmmm, I thought why would you put out something that doesn't serve a purpose? Would I stay here again? Probably not Was it a good value for what I paid? Yes, it was...which is why I gave it 3 out 5 stars! Read more

It is obvious to me that cleaning is not a priority. Dirty floor, shower curtain, and sheets. Trash behind the nightstand.

First the good things. Great view of the marina, nice balcony overlooking the pool and the yacht harbor. The room had a good size fridge and a small microwave. Lighting was fair and it was kind of clean. It was good enough at the price to recommend to others except for one thing: The bed was hard as a table and lumpy too. Got very little sleep trying […] to find a position of comfort. My wife likes to sleep in, but after our second night she was up at first light packing to get out of there. When we got home much earlier than expected I took a nap to make up for two nights of lost sleep. The bed was hard, the sheets were scratchy, the pillows were lumpy. If you plan to stay here it would be good to have a few drinks before trying to sleep on that bed. This was room 227, maybe others have better beds. However the first room we were given had no view and no balcony and the bed was lumpy to look at. I am sure it would have been pretty uncomfortable as well. The staff was nice, the breakfast was not much, but the price was right and the parking lot served a big area so there was lots and lots of parking. I would like to score the place better than a 2, but not being able to sleep is a real drag. Read more

For the price and location, this place was great. Room was small and cozy, but brightly lit. No double beds offered here, but the King bed was enough. Room was brightly lit with many lamps, free wifi was fast, movies on TV, and right outside is a nice bay walk that takes you all the way to the old Alameda shipyard. Breakfast was generic and free.

Genuine Expedia guest review

There was trash behind a night stand, that could be seen when you laid in bed. It was obvious that the carpet had not been vacuumed.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

clean, adequate, and we had a view of the marina which was nice. we would stay there again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

From a far this is a cute little place right on the Marina. Up close and personal - not so cute. We arrived 25 minutes early and our room was not ready. We walked around the Marina until check in time 3pm and then were allowed in the room ten minutes after that. First impressions the comforter looked dirty and like someone had just gotten out of it. […] When we pulled back the comforter the rest lf the bed didn't look much better and the pillows were sad little things that further flattened out when we looked at them. The remote control for the TV didn't work not that we spent much time watching TV. The thing which was the most confounding about the room is when we left, the curtains are in front of the door. So in order to get out and not leave the room completely visible you have to perform some gymnastics to get the curtains to close while your closing the door so as to not catch the curtains - how fun. And last the continental breakfast. Beyond basic. The orange juice machine would give out nothing but orange colored water - it was just SAD! Read more
