Free parking and good location to sightsee
When it comes to exploring what San Francisco has to offer, most former guests were happy with the location of the Marina Motel. Furthermore, thanks to offering one free on-site parking garage space for each guest, it is simple getting to and from locations if you are using your own transportation.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Traffic noise can be a nuisance
As the Marina Motel is positioned directly on a main road, a number of previous visitors noted that traffic noise was disruptive during their stay at the accommodation. As a result, sleeping was made difficult for those that were in rooms next to the road.
negative:
Small rooms can get hot and stuffy
The rooms at the motel have generated some negative criticism from a number of past guests. Most of the accommodations are considered small, and the lack of air conditioning can apparently lead to the rooms becoming overly warm and stuffy.
negative:
Missing facilities make it a no-thrills choice
With no breakfast option or recreational spaces such as a swimming pool or exercise room, the Marina Motel is a basic accommodation choice for the most part. With that said, the general consensus is that the motel is perfectly acceptable as a simple base in San Francisco.
