Rooms were clean and well appointed. Kitchenette was a nice plus. Bathroom was remodeled with powerful water pressure. Good lighting in bathroom for makeup application. Close to the beach area with walking distance to restaurants, wharf and harbor areas. State St a little further but walkable. Would highly recommend as it is dog friendly!

Overall, the Marina Beach Motel is a very nice facility. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a short quarter block walk to the beach, from there you can be at the marina or pier in just a hand full of blocks (either right or left respectively). Our only complaint is that the sound isolation between the motel room is poor. If you have a noisy child in the next door room, or is the guest plays the TV at listening levels; you will hear it (we had both next to us).

The room was very quiet which we love. The breakfast could be a little better...burrito and sandwich were terrible. Maybe a little upgrade especially because no pool/spa. The common area was very nice.

Love this cute remodeled motel. Everything was perfect except the walls are thin. It was quiet at night and in the morning (presumably when everyone is still sleeping) but during the day you can hear your neighbors.
