The location was great, the room a bit worn but very clean. The big problem was climate control. The big unit on the wall said it was for heat or cold. The room was 64 degrees until I turned on the heat; it dropped to 61 quickly. I turned it off and went to bed since I was too cold... More

About six years ago I "discovered" Marina Village Inn in Alameda, California. This small, independent motel is located directly on Alameda's harbor, and features views of sailboats and, in the distance, downtown Oakland. Although some aspects of this property are a little worn around the edges (e.g. some paint chipped on interior doors, etc.), it remains a great value for... More

Recently our daughter had major surgery at Kaiser Oakland which required her to stay for most of a week. We live about two hours away so finding a hotel within reasonable driving distance was extremely important to us. While reviewing hotels in Oakland it seemed we had two choices: 1) insanely expensive with teeny tiny rooms and outrageous parking fees... More

Alameda is an island and the Inn has an excellent location right on the estuary with boat docks right out front. The place could be quite nice, but they have let it run down a bit. As I walked to find my room I noticed paint-peeling, junk stored here and there. But I had a nice spacious room on the... More

I've stayed here once before and found the room only okay and a little threadbare, the service generally good but erratic, but the value excellent. Ths time I upgraded to a deluxe king room with balcony and water view. It made a great difference. The room was large, comfortable, had modern bathroom fixtures, and a great view---plus wonderful weather. At... More

This hotel is near my company so I stay here because it is convenient. The accommodations are sparse. Expect to see old cigarette burns, old mattress , old towels, etc. But the hot water works, there are no bugs that I saw, the air/heat works and they have coffee in the lobby. So for the price and the location it... More

This is a small "old look" , clean and well maintained hotel located in Marina village between 2 yacht clubs. Thea area is very nice and quiet, good for a night walk along the estuary and the yachts. Not much to do at walking distance but it is just 5 minutes away from Park ave in Alameda and downtown Oakland.... More

Because our family is nearby we have always stayed here, but never again. This hotel has deteriorated considerably. The breakfast room is a decorator nightmare and the food is inadequate. The reception area has been in the remodeling stages for eons. The rooms are so-so, but there are no washcloths (they have been on order for months) and the towels... More

First off I am only writing this because Marina Village Inn has taken a beating lately by reviewers here and on Hotels.com. Otherwise I would prefer to keep this little gem to well off the beaten path, as that is part of its appeal! It is tucked away and you have to keep an eye out or you WILL drive... More

I've stayed at the Marina Village Inn several times over the last few years when I go to the bay area. They are located in a quiet bay-side location between two yacht clubs and facing Oakland. The rooms are very nice and most have a view of the Bay. I've had to change my reservation slightly several times and the... More
