The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

8/10 Good
"Clean room. Good facilities. Location is fine for local transport. Only one close restaurant which is ok. Breakfast very good Didn’t use the pool as jucuzzi not working. The outlook was disappointing as the image of the room shows boats in the marina. This marina is now empty and a bit of an eyesore. Our room wasn’t cleaned one day and we don’t know why"
