Would stay again

The room was fine. Pretty normal. The only negative thing I’ll say is that 2 days later I noticed a big stain on the comforter. I didn’t ask to change it since I had only one more night there. Overall I would stay again. I like the convince of the breakfast in a bag.

The motel was clean but they charged me for a king size bed and when we got to the hotel it was a queen. I stayed for three nights and not a single time did we receive room service. The breakfast is not even worth grabbing.

Decent clean stay at Marina

Spacious rooms, decently clean and tidy. Beds were good enough for a good night’s sleep. The grab-and-go breakfast was a nice touch too.
