Top Sausalito Hotel Reviews

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel on the SF Bay in the east bay city of San Leandro, just south of Oakland and the OAK airport. Stand alone, not part of a bigger chain, but clean, well kept, friendly, with free breakfast and beverages in your room (coffee and bottle of water) are complimentary. Parking is $18 however. I got a nice queen bedroom rate under $100 in November. Quiet room and hotel across from a golf course, right off the SF Bay. Check in after 3p, check out before 12 Noon. Free WiFi. A mile from I-880 north/south freeway, with 238/580 freeways to go east nearby, and halfway between San Mateo and Bay Bridges to go west to SF or the SF peninsula."
