Clean and well kept. Older and slightly dated, but still well cared for. Quiet despite being on a busy street. Staff was kind and considerate. Service was prompt. Parking was ample and free, which is a rarity.
I will certainly keep this property in mind if/when I'm in the area again.

I would choose Marine Inn again. I had a nice comfortable stay. The room was clean when I walked in and it was serviced the two days that I was there.
My check in and out was smooth.
It was nice to have parking area.
Thank you

5 Stars for a low budget.
Great value, close to the Berkeley boat launch, good service, clean inside and out, well illuminated parking lot.
I didn't like bars on bathroom windows because of bars are needed then they should also have them in front window.
FYI: I'm used to staying in 4 and 5 star hotels with my family, but was solo and only needed a place to shower sleep a few hours.
