The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

8/10 Good
"Pro: We were given a free upgrade. Con: There was a roach in our free upgrade so we had to move rooms and then had to move rooms again. Pros: Nice view. Free breakfast had boiled eggs and a toaster. And waffles, which I'm not a huge fan of but other people really love waffles. Cons: The rest of free breakfast was low-quality pastries. TLDR: Good for price."

The Domain Hotel

The Domain Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great location, very comfortable bed. Breakfast was ok, enough to satisfy a traveler getting ready for the day but not great for pick eaters. Hot tub was not available and room was above a dumpster that was often used, causing noises after 10 pm and early morning. Plenty of parking. Nice staff and very positive experience with the service at the bar and kitchen."
