The Marina International was the first place I had stayed in Marina Del Rey and it continues to be my favorite place to stay when in the area. Yes it may be on the older side, but they have and continue to renovate. The rooms are large compared to other hotels, the bed's are comfortable, bathrooms are a good size... more

On a recent 6 week trip to the states we stayed at the Marina International twice. The good points of the hotel are location, free easy car parking and a reasonable price. Desk service was fine with friendly staff. There is a small shopping center just down on washington boulevard which is handy for quick meals and breakfast instead of... more

I disagree when this hotel is rated by some as being a horrible place to stay. There are worse hotels out there. This was my second visit to the hotel. I was travelling with my mom and we liked the area where the hotel is located. Not too far to walk to Venice Beach. Bus stops close by, we took... more

We stayed at the Marina International for one night on our way to Fiji to get married. Our travel agent suggested the hotel and I was so busy with other things I did not check into the hotel much. I did go on the website and it looked nice, but once we were there I looked again and they really... more

My mother and I were travelling from England, spending the last few days of our trip at Santa Monica. This hotel is a perfect location for those on a budget and want to stay near the beach and sights of Venice Beach and Santa Monica pier. The beach is only a 20 minute walk away where you can rent bikes... more

I have mixed feelings on this hotel. First off, it seems like a good value. Only $119 per night for a room with 2 double beds, it's right across the street from the harbor, and there are many restaurants within walking distance. However, we stayed in the "B" building which is toward the back of the hotel, right next to... more

If you're looking for fabulous value and warm, caring and efficient service the Marina International Hotel is the place to stay. We stayed there recently with many family members and friends because of it's proximity to the yacht on which we were having our daughter's wedding reception. The staff at the hotel was exemplary in every way-- they put themselves... more

Hotel is so outdated you feel like you're in the 80's. Rooms are horrible. Dirty, torn carpet, old mattresses, paper thin walls and run down bathrooms. A big concern for us was also the sign posted that there are cancer risks in the hotel. California Prop 65 which requires them to alert customers that there are carcinogenic substances in the... more

The Good: Walking distance to Venice Beach and Marina Del Rey harbor. Friendly staff. Good price. The Bad: Property is run down. Appearance is very dated. Walls are thin, lots of noise from hallway, adjacent rooms. LOTS of transients, homeless people in the area. Lots of vehicular traffic and associated noise. The Ugly: Carpet in room was very dirty and... more
