I cannot see why anyone would select this as a destination unless they have business in one of the nearby marinas. The "waterfront" views of the marina, the estuary and downtown Oakland from the second floor are actually pretty nice (if you ignore the container port and it's cranes and run down buildings), but beyond that, it's basically a Motel... more

Air Conditioner didn't work and wasted 2 hours trying to get the staff to explain where they were located after they said they were at "Jack London Square" ...the place ended up a $20 taxi ride away!! Checked out after 20 minutes without Air Conditioning. They refuse to refund $$. Poor excuses and poor service. You would think they could... more

Rooms are okay, a little out dated though. My husband told them of the little black flying bugs in our room. He was told that they have this problem every summer (this is April). He advised them that he didn't want to see them when he got back. Room was clean and no major sign of black bugs when we... more

Rude staff? No way. I called at least six times to find this hotel (it's off the beaten path of Alameda.) The receptionist was so patient with me. Upon arrival, the receptionist checked me in. I thanked her for all her patience. Imagine having her job, dealing with rude guests? This is not an easy hotel to find, but well... more

Marina Village Inn is a nice place to stay because of the location . It has wireless internet, continental breakfast and friendly employees. however, the bed was HARD! more

We stayed in this hotel for one night when passing through Alameda. I booked it the same day via a travel website and got a very good deal on the room rate. The hotel did not disappoint as it was clean and the room was spacious and equipped with everything one needs. Compared to other motels we stayed at during... more

I arrived with my girlfriend for a romantic getaway. After waiting to be checked in for 15 minutes while the front desk clerk was on a personal call, we were given vague directions to the room. After finding our room it took 10 minutes inside to make us decide to leave. The sheets and carpet were dirty. The room was... more

I've stayed that this hotel several times a year for the past 5 years and keep going back. It's certainly not perfect but like a quirky friend, you come to appreciate an experience off the beaten path. What's good about this place is great dollar value and a nice quite location by the water, away from fast food and tacky... more
