Marina Village Inn
1151 Pacific Marina, Alameda, CA 94501
Walkable, Local Close By
Close to the water. Lots of walking trails I can take without fear of mountain lions or muggers.
Clean and in a great location.
Rooms are always clean. Location is good. Close to stores and downtown Alameda.
Top location but flawed execution.
20 years ago this was our favorite hotel on Alameda when we were taking sailing lessons at Club Nautique, a top training facility minutes away. Unfortunately, the property appears have deteriorated since then. Some cosmetic improvements have been done, but overall the fit and finish of the work is substandard. The floors have been redone with faux wood, so if you're on the bottom floor you hear always will hear footsteps of th the occupant above you. On the positive side the bath towels were luxurious, the bed comfortable and the price very reasonable. Overall a good value but don't expect too much.

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.
