Top Northern California Hotel Reviews

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

10/10 Excellent
"Gabriel was a delight at check-in, which was late in the evening for an early morning flight out of Oakland. Great price and quality rooms, compared to my normal lodging around the same price at Oak Executive Hotel. That $25 difference per stay is night and day by comparison, so I'll be staying here from now on. Plus, now I know they have a free airport shuttle."
