We stayed here the week after Xmas and had a great time. The room was clean and spacious. We asked for a fridge and microwave which was provided immediately. This saved considerably on eating out. This inn is located downtown within walking distance of many attractions. We lucked out for the Giant Balloon parade on the Wednesday, we just walked... More

This was a nice motel. We wanted a place near the Cruise ship terminal and the airport and the Marina Inn was between those two points. Unfortunately the combination of the Pacific Highway (a main thoroufare) and active railroad tracks less than a block from the back of the hotel made for a noisy night. The room was spacious and...

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like you really can't get away from the noise of the traffic and train if you want to stay in downtown San Diego. Not the hotel's fault, but just something to keep in mind when deciding where to stay. I'm not sure if it was just our room, but the water heater was excessively loud when... More

Thank you very much for your comments and feedback! I am glad to hear that you enjoy our rooms and location. Unfortunately noise is an issue that all the hotels on Pacific Highway are required to deal with. But the trade-off as you mention we have an excellent location. We are walking distance to Little Italy and the San Diego... More

The hotel was okay and the price and location were great, but there was an incredible amount of noise coming from the street and the airport, and the design of the hotel really exacerbates this issue. I really can't recommend staying here unless you're a very sound sleeper. More

We really enjoyed our stay here as it was a great location for the tram, harbour, Little Italy and airport. The staff were all more than helpful and very friendly. Our room was really clean and comfortable and we recommend it to everyone. More

I've seen the reviews of this place as a mixed bag, but overall I thought it was a great deal and a solid experience. Staff is helpful and friendly, room was nice and clean, location is great. There are all sorts of great restaurants, drinking establishments, things to do within a short walk or ride. I felt the neighborhood was... More
