This is a no-fuss, no muss basic old style motel tucked away among the Alameda marinas. If you need a low-cost place in the Oakland/Berkeley area, this place will not disappoint you --but only if you have a car. It's hard to find, though it's very close to the Oakland-Alameda tunnel and a quick drive to the Oakland airport by... More

This hotel looks like a flop house from the photos, but if I am ever in this area again, this will be my first choice. The view from the room was priceless. More

For aprrox 10 years we have been regular customers at the Marina Village Inn, and regret to say that we will never return. Since the new ownership group acquired the property approx 18 mos. ago the deterioration of the property has rapidly escalated. Our last stay (2/16/12) lasted approximately 4 hours: Entering the room we were greeted by an overwhelming... More

+ Close to downtown Oakland and reasonable priced close to downtown Oakland and right on the marina. About a mile from the shopping center though. The closest BART is about 2.5 miles from downtown Oak The view rooms provide a nice view of the harbor and there are no bad parking spots More

The location was great, the room a bit worn but very clean. The big problem was climate control. The big unit on the wall said it was for heat or cold. The room was 64 degrees until I turned on the heat; it dropped to 61 quickly. I turned it off and went to bed since I was too cold... More

About six years ago I "discovered" Marina Village Inn in Alameda, California. This small, independent motel is located directly on Alameda's harbor, and features views of sailboats and, in the distance, downtown Oakland. Although some aspects of this property are a little worn around the edges (e.g. some paint chipped on interior doors, etc.), it remains a great value for... More

Recently our daughter had major surgery at Kaiser Oakland which required her to stay for most of a week. We live about two hours away so finding a hotel within reasonable driving distance was extremely important to us. While reviewing hotels in Oakland it seemed we had two choices: 1) insanely expensive with teeny tiny rooms and outrageous parking fees... More

Alameda is an island and the Inn has an excellent location right on the estuary with boat docks right out front. The place could be quite nice, but they have let it run down a bit. As I walked to find my room I noticed paint-peeling, junk stored here and there. But I had a nice spacious room on the... More

I've stayed here once before and found the room only okay and a little threadbare, the service generally good but erratic, but the value excellent. Ths time I upgraded to a deluxe king room with balcony and water view. It made a great difference. The room was large, comfortable, had modern bathroom fixtures, and a great view---plus wonderful weather. At... More
