The Marina Inn On San Francisco Bay - San Leandro

The horbor views.

The bed was very comfy, the view was great (had a room overlooking the Marina), the desk and chair were also good for working (I spent a lot of time at the computer writing). The room itself was well laid out, and very clean. They have both wired and wireless internet connections. In fact, I liked this place so much I ended up staying another 3 nights! One note - their ISP blocked my normal outgoing email SMTP port, so I had to go with an alternate. Some ISP's do this to prevent spam, so if you're not using something on-line like Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc, check with your email host for an alternate port in case you need it.

The only thing was the airplane noise my second night there - when the takeoff pattern in to the southeast, it can get pretty loud if you are facing the marina. Luckily the planes rarely go in this direction, but it might be worth having ear plugs just in case (I bought some the next day, but then never had to use them).

Great location, beautiful setting, friendly helpful staff.

Marina setting, Horatio'S.

The hotel was very good, staff very helpfull many times. shuttle very handy as well.

The free apples, milk and cookies were a nice touch. Good breakfast which starts early too - nice when your jet lagged 2 year old wakes up at 5am hungry.

I liked everything will stay there again.

The Marina Inn is in a beautiful setting overlooking the Marina. It is extremely clean, offers a very good free breakfast, and the staff is extremely cordial and accommodating. They are situated across the street from a golf course and driving range.I would recommend the Inn for business meetings, family settings and even for a quiet getaway with your spouse. It is 15-20 minute ride to Oakland Airport, probably 40 minute drive to San Francisco and surrounding areas.

It is very convenient to the Oakland Airport and to a good place to eat, Horatios. The atmosphere of the hotel is welcoming and relaxing and the location on the Marina, and near walking paths, is wonderful. I used to live very close by so I know the area. Now, since I visit California frequently, I find it convenient and enjoyable to overnight at the Marina Inn and visit with old friends before I depart from Oakland Airport.

I regret that the shuttle does not operate earlier since most of my flights eastward leave at 6 am.

They offered extra services like shuttle to and from bart at no charge. We were able to leave our car at the hotel, even after check out, and go into San Francisco for the day. That was very nice.

It was our first stay there.(thru Booked.net) .. my 25 yr old son and I, had separate rooms. People at front desk were helpful, professional and friendly. Rooms were very very clean and comfortable. Bed and pillows were comfy. Would stay at the Marina Inn on sf Bay again and would recommend it. I like the water side rooms which was quiet and relaxing... And enjoyed sitting on the balcony. Breakfast was great, coffee really good. Would stay at your hotel again. Thanks for a nice stay. Barbara Goldman

Did not have good cell phone service (we have Sprint)... Calls did not go through or connections were lost. Had to stand outside hotel to make calls on cell phone., Even then connections were terrible or not go through. Texts were delayed also. We had to use our cell phones as drove a mile or two away from hotel. Other than that, which is probably out of your control..... was a nice hotel to stay at and will definitely stay there again.

Very profesional staff extremely friendly.

The complimentary continental breakfast was awesome!

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Location was convenient and it had all of the amenities I was looking for.
