The hotel offers a beautiful view of the marina and waterfront, with friendly and helpful staff. However, the rooms are outdated and in need of renovation, with cleanliness being a significant concern for many guests. The hotel also lacks some advertised amenities such as breakfast and a swimming pool.

    Great location, clean area, friendly staff! Beds are firm, pillows are clean, AC works great. Little things, no dealbreakers! No microwaves in the rooms, most dont use them. They have one in the common area! People do slam doors. Not a true issue as its based on your neighbors, but the doors dont "quiet close" for their latches.

    I enjoyed the location and the hotel itself very much. My issue was VERY loud neighbors both nights I stayed, particularly the first night. The rooms are lovely but if you have loud neighbors, you will hear everything. And I mean everything. I think this could be easily addressed by letting people know expectations of quiet after 10pm and before 6am and having a way to easily address if someone is being disruptive.

    Unknown. My husband and I did not feel welcomed or received by family staff at the time of check-in. Our ADA room was no longer available due to staff error and a lack of system notation. I could not physically walk up or down 15 concrete steps, as I had a cane and walker. The hotel refused to refund the charges until Booking.com called the front desk to intervene. Ultimately, Booking.com became the refunding party. Due to these reasons and my hotel experience, I can not nor will not rate this establishment without prejudice or biases.

    The marina location. Quiet. Affordable price. Affordable dog fee. Easily accessible free parking. No crowds. Nice hiking trails. Mark at front desk was great. -The floor in the room was dirty. They need to mop. -The staff was having their lunch at the main lobby and they were having Indian food so smelled all over. They should eat in their break room or elsewhere. -the room phone did not work and was not replaced. -our original room had a non-working fridge so had to transfer us to another room. -the coffee maker in the lobby was out of order and not fixed.

    The location was beautiful and lots of parking was available! People were slamming doors and yelling all night. We experienced more than 5 different attempted room break ins. The security was so bad we didn’t feel safe sleeping. People were smoking marijuana below us and it filled our room with smoke so badly we had to pry open our window to breathe.

    The lady at check-in was very nice getting to our room. It smelled like pee in the hallway and cigarette smoke. The Wi-Fi didn’t work. The TV didn’t work. The blow dryer didn’t work all the plugs in the bathroom didn’t work. One of the beds was so squeaky and loud that it was hard to have a good nights rest. I went for a girls night to relax by the water and watch movies and we couldn’t watch anything. We tried our small iPads but the WiFi was spotty and just kept circling. Parking was convenient

    This was so bad we didn't even stay. It felt unsafe and smelled weird and there was cleaning supplies left in the hall ways. It was not at all what was advertised, it was worth losing the money to stay someplace else.

    Clean room, comfortable bed, close to the water for an evening stroll. Good products to clean 48hrs on a train away. Tea, coffee, and a couple snacks to fuel todays train journey. Plus close enough to walk to the Alameda free water taxi to walk to Oakland Jack London train station. We will definitely stay again.

    It has a beautiful setting right next to the harbor. The property was well-maintained and very clean, though shops are a 30-minute walk away. However, grocery delivery (Walmart) was exceptionally fast. The connecting room door was very thin with a 1/2 inch gap at the bottom; you can hear everything in the next room, which impacts privacy. The 1970s-style lamps and slow, integrated headboard chargers need modern USB/USB-C upgrades. For some odd reason, when I was connected to their WiFi, neither my phone or my laptop could get a signal. Once I disconnect from the WiFi, everything worked just fine. I did mention that to the front desk clerk, but he said his electronics were working okay, so I let it go. The headboard was unanchored and rocked against the wall, requiring a DIY fix with pillows. This hotel is a decent budget-friendly option for the price, just be prepared to deal with a few trivial inconveniences and minor annoyances. 4/24/2026

    Our stay was OUTSTANDING in every way!! The room was spotless and well well-appointed, bed and bedding were luxuriously comfortable, all electrical and plumbing equipments looked and operated brand new, the grounds and parking lot are clean, well-lighted, well-marked, and easily accessible. The Staff was welcoming, friendly, helpful and understand "hospitality". Its location along the yacht basis is wonderful; we walked the entire mile sidewalk. We will definitely visit there again.

    My earrings were stolen while we were out of the room. I placed my earrings in a sock and placed sock in my luggage I went back to the property a week later and the manager asked me to wait while he reviewed security tape. After reviewing the tape, he returned to the lobby and told me the reel didn’t go back a week so he had nothing to report. Before accusing the property of thievery, I checked my luggage and clothing thoroughly several times to confirm the sock wasn’t tucked somewhere. I never found my earrings so I’m 100% certain they were stolen. Be careful if you stay here.

    Pictures need up date, there’s no pool. The staff was cold and unfriendly, more like judgmental. As a single woman they gave me a far isolated cornered room with a messed up door and a window with out a screen or secure look facing a parking lot with much night activity. The area is nice and the hotel has lots of character for a good working hotel.

    The property is in need of serious renovation and updates. I was disappointed that there were not more amenities. The staff was somewhat responsive but it took a little longer than expected to resolve a few issues. It’s a good location so I hope it will be upgraded.

    Room was clean, and staff friendly. The TV did not work, but the fact that the door lock was defective, would not lock, and we didn’t realize until checking out made for an inexcusable, unsafe stay. We are lucky nothing was stolen and worse nothing happened to us.

    The room could have been cleaner. The floor was not cleanes properly. The curtain was torn. The bed was not connected to the headboard leaving ragged metal exposed. The desk chair was broken. It was together without screws and fell apart when I sat on it. The red chair in room needs cleaning. I notified staff of broken chair and bed. The staffer (Indian) male stated he would have maintenance look at it with no time given. He did not seen concerned when I told him about falling from the chair. The morning staffer (Hispanic) male said its known the headboard wasn't attached.

    Overall the hotel was clean, safe, and provided a good stay. My only negative was that there was a weird person constantly in the lobby area throughout my entire stay, which put me off using the amenities in there when needed. They didn’t seem like a guest but maybe staff on break? Not sure, but they were there every time over multiple days and made it very uncomfortable

    I stayed at this beautiful hotel (in Room 210 for 4 nights) at the marina from February 23 to February 27. The customer service from the front desk team, management team and the hotel maintenance team was truly outstanding, impressive and first-rate. The housekeeping team did an excellent job with cleaning my room very well on a daily basis and an amazing job with cleaning all the guest common areas. The hotel lobby is very welcoming and very clean. The views of the marina from my hotel room were absolutely beautiful. This hotel is close to several AMAZING restaurants and there are plenty of parking spots available for guests. This hotel is next to a beautiful park with a gorgeous walking trail. I highly recommend this fabulous hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable and very well maintained hotel in a safe area of Alameda with very friendly customer service. I am looking forward to staying at this hotel during my next visit to Alameda. Thank you so much for the outstanding customer service and for providing such a comfortable stay at this top notch hotel at the marina in Alameda.

    The staff are very rude. This hotel has transitioned from a homeless shelter in last year or two. Google “Marina Village Inn and homeless”. They still attract a houseless clientele. Very loud people in rooms. Someone was smoking in the room below me and the staff didn’t even apologize. They acted annoyed that I asked them to do something about it. One staff member came into to fix my tv at 7am and proceeded to angrily slam the hotel room door when he left, which undoubtedly woke guests on the floor I was staying on. The staff doesn’t take complaints seriously. They are marketing this as an “Alameda Tourist” type hotel, when it’s more of a low income housing transitional type of motel. The rooms are very old, I had a cracked sink drain stopper, shower had a rusted metal drain. It’s good for a lower end economy stay, but not much else.

    Well, the room was clean, but I asked for an extra blanket. They said yes, but never got it. The Internet comes and goes. The TV comes and goes. You’ll be watching a show and every show I watched would stop to download and continue minutes later so it was disappointing. One thing I did like was free parking that’s it that’s all I have to say wasn’t impressed

    Five star for the location of the hotel. The room is quite nice except there is no closet to put/hang my clothes. However, because of the wood floors, I can hear every single person walking in the corridor outside my room, as well as the rooms adjacent to me. I was not able to sleep because there are people walking around even in the middle of the night, at 3am. Only because of that, I will not be staying here again.

    Everything about the stay was poor from check in to check out. Check in was supposed to be at 3, room wasn’t ready until 4. Asked for a late checkout due to the hour it took for the room to be ready, and the receptionist said she would make note of a late check out, and we were still interrupted by housekeeping 45 min before our “late checkout.” Receptionist seemed flustered and had no solutions to solve any problem we had. No hairdryer in room, cabinets and shower shelving ripped out of the walls, lack of body wash and hand soap. When we returned to the room in the evening after leaving, there was a spider on the bed. Will not be returning.

    The room was clean, bed comfortable. It would have been nice to have a clock in the room so I didn’t have to open my phone every time I wanted to know what time it was and the shower was slippery, could have used some adhesive ducks.

    There is NO pool, it has been drained for years and has two fences around it, the building is falling apart with some areas that look dangerous, and smells like years of cigarette smoke. The walls are very thin, you can hear every cough and footstep. The rooms are in disrepair, paint chipping, dried stains on the walls - though they are swept and the linens seem clean.

    For one they charge 100., deposit., if not paid I couldn't stay. Where was I to go with my daughter at the last minute. I took a cideo of the room before moving or touching anything because I didn't want for them to accused me of damaging anything in the room and give them a reason to keep my deposit or charge for anything else. I don't know if the deposit will be returned to me. The head bed wasn't attached to the bed so everytime I moved it would hit the wall. No WI-FI, no breakfast, nothing! It was just a bad experience.

    This was my second time staying at the Marina Village Inn. I traveled from the Sacramento area for a quiet weekend away from home to Marina Village Inn. The view of the Marina was mainly the reason I came back. My hotel room was very clean although the towels needed to be softer. The front desk service was kind and helpful. Guest service was speedy when I called to have fresh towels and an ironing board. I will differently be returning for another weekend away from home to the Bay Area.

    We could hear everything from the room on top of us - it was like bad apartment living. Additionally, no wifi and despite the "smart tv" it didn't work. The bathroom door wouldn't close all the way offering no privacy and the glass panels and door were dirty. They said they "upgraded us" so I hate to know what room we would have been in. The bed itself was surprisingly comfortable but not the pillows. I do not recommend this place and will never stay again. Also, the pool is drained so just an empty eye sore that made for interesting conversation with my kids.

    The location of the motel is excellent, but unfortunately, the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. I was very disappointed. The towels were in terrible condition, the soap appeared to be diluted with water, and the bed sheets had noticeable stains. Worst of all, I found a needle near the toilet, which was extremely alarming and unacceptable.

    The bathroom was dirty there was home alone that I had to plug in because I wasn't sure if there was a mouse it was going to come through it. I made a reservation online for myself and my aunt who's in a wheelchair. The gentleman desk said he only had an upstairs room available which what is almost impossible to carry my aunt upstairs and her wheelchair with my arthritic knees. He said for $75 more he could give us different room but it was also upstairs. I already paid $120 which was too much for that place anyway. There was barely any cars in the parking lot and after he told me he could not help us I went online and saw there were many rooms available. It was super frustrating and disheartening that this gentleman could not be a little more empathetic towards my aunt's disability. So we drove her all the way to San Leandro back to my other aunt's house so she could sleep on their couch and I stayed in the filthy room by myself! I will never stay here or again!

    We chose Marina Village Inn as it is conveniently located near our regatta destination Encinal Yacht Club. We were completely impressed with Mark at reception who was friendly, helpful, and informative. He even took the time to give us a tour of the property and point out the best way to walk to stores and restaurants with recommendations. The lobby offers coffee and bagged pastries throughout the day. Nearby you will find, ice, a water filling station and laundry facilities. The rooms are quite nice with comfortable beds and bedding, also in- room coffee and yummy chocolates as well as the other essentials you would expect. We could hear upstairs guests stomping around some but the property is very peaceful and serene. I recommend the marina view room as its worth it. Views are lovely. We will make Marina Village Inn our choice for future visits to the area.

    No room service number on the phone. The hand soap was mostly water, went to the reception to ask for another one, it was also watered down. There was not an iron in the room so I went to the office AGAIN since I couldn’t call them from the room and they told me to GO LOOK for the house keeper and ask them for one. Walked around the property till I finally found them and was late to my event. There was a whole in the room which ran a cable to the TV and that made me very uncomfortable. Also the wifi didn’t work at all which I kind of depended on for work. The room was very spacious and had a beautiful view to the piers but the service is horrible and I was disgusted that the soaps are prefilled with water. Definitely management needs improvement but it’s got a lot of potential.

    I’ve stayed at this hotel multiple times. I love the quiet neighborhood and marina view. Great sunsets and great location for restaurants and breweries and shopping. Walking/jogging path along the marina just outside the property. This is an old 50s style motel, which is under renovation. I would only recommend getting one of the rooms with a balcony facing the marina. The pool is still empty and closed off, which is an eyesore, however, the price and other attributes make it worthwhile. Once the renovations are complete I’m sure it will be crazy expensive.
