I stayed here 3 times in 13 years and I still would recommend it to people, who like a personal touch. Rooms are a bit old fashioned, but were refurbished at least twice in these 13 years. bathrooms are pretty small, but that didn´t matter to us. If you choose a room in the yard, you feel like in a... more

This place is a little gem in a sea of non-descript funky motels in the area. Flowers bloom everywhere - including the painted motif on the outside walls! The best part is that entrance to the facility and rooms is by a quiet courtyard. And every room gets a small garage to part your vehicle in. Vans and SUV's fit... more

We stayed at the Marina Motel for 3 nights. We drove here from the airport, one of the reason's for choosing the motel was because it offered free parking, which was ideal and had our own garage/car port. The room was very small, but cosy and clean. Very traditional and old fashioned. The motel also offered free wireless internet, which... more

We picked this motel because of it's dog friendly web site. Yes there is free parking and the room rate seemed ok when looking at other places to stay. We actually would have been happy staying there except for one detail. This place is not dog friendly. When we checked in I asked for dog friendly restaurants and was told... more

We spent 2 nights here and it was not what we expected. We stayed in a Family room with 2 single beds, and a box room with 1 queen bed. If you look at the website pictures they show a clean, bright, well decorated place to stay. Our room was nothing like the room pictured on their website, it was... more

While I was not at first impressed, once I drove into the courtyard and saw the beautiful landscaped flora intermixed with some colorful stenciling and an overall sense of a villa, I was awe struck. The owner of this historic motel has been able to maintain the worderful historic character and yet make it a comfortable, cozy place to be,... more

I recently traveled to San Francisco, CA to visit my daughter. For this trip, I like to bring my dog along and make it a road trip. I happened to find Marina Motel on Lombard St. This motel was built in the 1930's, so if you are looking for luxury this is not your place. It is a quaint little... more

didn't have high expectations as i booked this place at 9pm after a long day on the road. but the free parking was great, and the location was easily accessible from hwy 101 north out of the city. wasn't expecting much (we passed lots of dingy looking motels on this section of lombard street, which is basically highway) but got... more

Yes, there are cheaper places. And yes, there are nicer places - more spacious rooms, plusher linens, luxurious amenities. But for a combination of good price, good location, and pleasant surroundings, the Marina Motel can't be beat. The buildings are charming, with lots of fragrant flowers in the courtyard, and the rooms, while on the small side, are clean, comfortable,... more
