I liked that it was on the water & was quite but the room had an oder that smelled like mildew in the air system that didnt go away no matter what I did & i used a diffuser, sprayed like crazy- including vents but it just stunk, then the carpet in the beroom was extremely old & gross, the first room we were sent to was still dirty they thought it had been cleaned, then the second room they got us in stunk & was very outdated, hope they remodel because the place would be amazing if so

Quiet little place near the beach. Hotel is on the older side and could use a face lift. Room was clean but they missed the balcony. There was food all over the place, had to ask the housekeeper for a broom so we could sweep it up.

The property had no elevators so that was hard on me with the stairs. However, my husband talked to Mrs. Sue and she put us in a king room on first floor side with an excellent view of the marina. Good Experience.

This property took me back to the late 1900s, with its retro pool table slopping to the left hard,to the ping pong table with half the net hanging haphazardly off to the side and paddles with the padding almost nonexistent. The hotel was in dire need of a restoration 20 years ago, but thats not important, no fridge or microwave made life more difficult on vacay. The stay was pleasant, the rooms clean albiet in derelict shape. The doors safety latch was broken beyond usability and the bathroom fan hung on for dear life as we sat in the restroom hoping it did not fall on our head. For the price, GREAT POOL, HOTTUB, AND LOCATION. A little investing in improvements could go a long way. We enjoyed our stay, the pier had hermit crabs in the shallow water and the view was wonderful. Worth $100 ish a night for lication alone.

I was on a solo vacation and booked this hotel because of its charm and small town vibe. The location was perfect. I decided to give 3 stars for the following reasons... on night one, two people entered my room while I was in there. They apologized but didnt say anything else.

This place is horrible! We got to the first room the bed was not made! The next room smelled like mildew, had roaches and at 11pm some kids decided to play ding ding ditch on our floor! We decided at 11:45pm to just leave and find another hotel to stay in! Never again will we go back to Marina Bay Resort!!!!

It's close to the beach. It's an older property under new management. Staff working when we checked in, so nice!! We were a late check in, but she waited and didn't show any kind of irritation with us. The place itself is, ok, older...... but the pool and hot tub were clean and the place is well kept. There was NO foul odors at all!!!!! The beds are, comfy isn't something I'd say, but the bedding is CLEAN!! NO "items" that would lead us to believe any type of "critters" in or around!! Seriously, the property is very well kept!!!!! We had no concerns with staying there a couple nights and would go back and stay there again and again!!!! Thank you Marina Bay for a safe and clean stay!!
