The manager wasn't particularly helpful, and breakfast consisted of stale or expired food, with the coffee machine not even working. And the tap water in the rooms was dirty.

I was greeted by a friendly gentleman and really liked that my room included a garage to park in. The room was very clean except for the very worn and stained carpet. The bed was okay although the pillows were very lumpy. I do give Housekeeping 5-Stars.

I picked this hotel because it was one of the ones on Expedia that had a pool when I checked in I asked if the pool was open and they said it was closed. There is a pool however full of water but they say it is closed for maintenance however it appears that the rooms around the pool have been turned into somebody's private residence and that possibly the pool is only for their use. The continental breakfast which starts at 8:00 was unstocked and out of everything by 8:20

Upon arrival to the Marinwood inn & suite, it was very noticeable that the property was very unclean and unmaintained. A section of the Inn had trash pilled high and very noticeable the pool was extremely dirty. Once I parked and walked in I noticed that the front desk clerk was very rude and short with the guest checking in. Once I received my key after I checked in my wife and I went to our room. Once we entered our room we noticed that the room had an un clean smell. The furniture and chairs was peeling and tearing. The floor was dirty, which prompted my wife to go to the store and buy cleaning products to clean the floor and tub just so we can feel comfortable enough to stay there. There breakfast was only milk and cereal and old bread slices. Expedia should not be offering these types of hotels, suites, inns, etc. The rating on this place is deceitful. On Expedia this is a 7.0 but should be rated as a 2.0. I will never returning to this Inn and I will think twice before using Expedia again.
