Great location to walk around downtown and to the beach. Clean, updated room with wonderful shower. Also liked having a ceiling fan in room. Also liked they are pet friendly here.
Did not like the bed, it sagged had no firmness and is uncomfortable. Also did not like noise in the room. I was in a corner room at an intersection with our door facing the street where anyone could walk up. Had traffic noise and noise through the walls from neighbors. Also the room shared wall with the office so every evening near closing time 11pm was noise of furniture being moved around then again in morning for breakfast. Parking is also tight here. They have a small lot which is fine for a sedan but even a moderate suv or truck has difficulty maneuvering. It was packed on weekends. There was some street parking but being near beach and a mix of hotels and residential there are restrictions so read the signs. Frustrating to come back at night ready to relax in your room and have to find parking.

Mary,We thank you for your wonderful rating, even with the issues you mention in your review. Comments like your help us find ways in which we can improve in the future.While our beds were all replaced last year, we did choose a more plush mattress in an attempt to offer a more luxurious feel. We are truly sorry that you did not find it comfortable.Your note about noise coming from the lobby during our opening and closing shifts is extremely valuable and something that we will work on. Thank you for bringing this to our attention as peacefulness, especially at those hours, is paramount!We can't argue that parking can be tight with the large size of vehicles today. Cards were generally much smaller when the Marina Beach Motel was built in 1940. We do our best to make sure every guest has convenient parking, but it can be a challenge on rare occasions.We hope that you will give us another chance to win you over with a better stay!Sincerely,ChrisMarina Beach Motel

The property was good quality for the value. The jacuzzi style tub made up for not offering late checkout. It’s conveniently located near the beach. My only wish is that they would source fresh breakfast food and vegan options.
