Marina Inn

The value and location for the money is great. Around the corner is Athen's Pizza and Pasta (a must do after my husband's hike) and Anthony's HomePort fine dining restaurant on the marina is 0.3 miles away plus a lot of other restaurants including a convenience store and Bobba Tea across the street and T&D's Coffee House, Vietnamese restaurant, is next door. You can drive and walk along the marina and see the people fishing on the wharf. Room was spacious with a sofa, long desk and desk chair, and a separate sink with mirror with microwave and coffee pot with coffee packets. The microwave and coffee pot looked like they were bought in the 1970's but the microwave worked, so that was fine. The lighting was good. The A/C was turned off at the window unit when we arrived, so we had to turn it on and it did cool down the room after it warmed up for a minute. Bathroom had a pleasant marble-like look to it and looked updated. Bed was a bit firm. I felt like something bit my leg twice when I first got in, but I had rubbed my leg and must have killed whatever it was or it was just something pokey in the sheets that left a dot on my leg. The mattresses looked like they were encased in a mattress and box spring covers. I did not wake up with any welts, so all was good. The front desk staff may not be at the front desk all the time and at night the front door is locked and you need to call to enter. There were video cameras. There are no elevators, so you have to carry your suitcase up to the 2nd floor or get a room on the first floor. We left before there was any staff or the continental breakfast. My husband likes the hotel for the convenience. It is close to restaurants and about 13 minutes from the SEATAC airport rental car drop off. For the price and restaurant convenience, I do like Marina Inn over the Best Western.

We had two nights booked at this hotel and only stayed one. When we got there we checked in and we’re told to come back at 3 and our room would be ready. We got there at 4 and the door was open and the maid cart was in front of the door. Once we finally got into the room it was dirty. The sheets had hair on them, there was crumbs all over and just a lot of places you could tell were not cleaned for a while. The chair in the room was covered in ants. During the night people were running up and down the halls and setting off the fire alarm multiple times and there were people sitting outside in a group with a cooler hanging out and being loud. The only good thing about this stay is that we’re we’re able to get our money back for the second night so we could find a better hotel to stay at.
