The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

Convienent to Oakland airport. Marina view from the balcony

Had travel issues are called to cancel and they refused. From now on, I’d advice booking the day of if not with a chain hotel.

Very pleasantly surprised! EXCELLENT spot for a Bay Area overnight/weekend. We came for a Friday Giants game and stayed here because of the price and proximity to the ferry to the ballpark. We couldn’t get tickets for the ferry (😢) but staying at this place made that disappointment a bit lighter. Amazing how no hotel stress can make other kinks easier to manage. Sure, the “bay” view is the empty marina and The San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, but that actually was part of the fun. Plenty of water fowl and arriving/departing planes to watch. The airport activity was audible but not loud or disruptive at all. I really enjoyed a couple of cups of coffee, a couple of Js and the departing planes at sunrise. The bed and pillows were some of the best I’ve ever experienced in a hotel. Comfortable, clean and perfect height for a lil backside boogie. The fridge and tv were even nice. Overall, for the price, probably THE best we’ve stayed in for a Bay Area overnighter. We will most certainly be back but next time we’ll get the Ballpark Ferry tickets way in advance.

The staff could not have been nicer. Silvia greeted us and gave us cookies and a coupon to the restaurant next-door. She sent a shuttle to pick us up at the airport so we could return our rental car. She signed us up for the shuttle to the airport in the morning. Shuttle driver was Amazing and all staff were top-notch. The room was nothing fancy, but it was comfortable. There was a continental breakfast included with our stay. Not a fantastic spread but adequate for our needs.

Drug activity in the parking lot and in the hotel. Very loud outside. Side shows and partying all night

I was shocked by the amount we had to pay for parking.

This is now one of my favorite places to stay, and I am basing this on a first impression. This location is safe, neat, next to a gorgeous body of water. The lobby is inviting with an "at home" feeling. There is plenty to eat nearby, restaurants and fast food and gas stations. The rooms were exceptionally clean with lots of towels available which is something I often need. My favorite detail about this place is they have bicycles you can borrow. I thought that was unique and lovely to be able to ride bikes by the water and nearby places. There is a park next door you can take a walk to as well. I chose this place because It is super close to the Oakland Arena, turned out to be a gem of a place. The employees were very nice and helpful and understanding when I had a concern. Lots of spaces for parking. Its too bad I didn't have enough time to check out the hot tub! Great reason to come back! :)

The staff was great and everything went well while we were there. The area is run down and did not feel very safe. It also costs $18 a night to park your car in the parking lot.

Sylvia and Nayeli were helpful and welcoming at front desk. Airport shuttle drivers Luis and Ramon were good, friendly drivers. Breakfast offerings were weak—all processed, sugary foods—yuck. Rooms were spacious. Bed was comfortable.

We were flying out of Oakland for the first time and a little nervous about nearby hotels. This property was close. One side was the marina, the other side was a golf course. It was clean, quiet, large parking area, and most importantly we felt safe. The property was a little dated but clean.
