6/10 Good

Clean room, good location if you're attending a Cal Bears event. But there is no air in the rooms, only a fan and if you want cool air you have to open the window and it's pretty noisy. The staff was friendly and the rooms are nice. If you don't need cool air circulating than this would be the place for you.

I give the Marina Inn 4stars only because its budget friendly- not luxury-lodging. We stay there often. Its clean, quiet, predictable and convenient. The beds and showers have always been perfect. The grounds are simple and always clean. It's on site family owned and operated. Very accommodating staff.

Other than refrigerator making annoying noise, the rest of the accommodations were fine. No problems. University Ave has a lot of traffic, so expect noise. Fairly convenient location to Bay Area.
