We stayed here on a road trip down Highway 1 from San Francisco to LA. It was a good location to stop and convenient but not much more than that. The hotel could use an update and a solid cleaning. For the price and what we were looking for it's hard to complain too much. The staff was friendly and... More

This hotel is one of the dirtiest places I have been in. We stayed in room 3, the carpet was disgustingly dirty, with stains of all kinds, the cloth on the chairs was soiled like they had been urinated on or something. The bed was so broke down the head of the bed was a couple of inches lower than... More

The new management has done a great job. The property and rooms have been cleaned up and improvements have been made to the exterior. The affordable room rates starting at $69.00 per night have not been changed for the summer. This is the best value on Moonstone Beach Drive. Go check it out.

I had called other hotels that are right across from the beach and they wanted $169 for weekend nights. we paid $79 a night and had a firplace, view of ocean... More

My husband and I made a reservation here in October for a December trip, but we were not told our card would be charged immediately for the full three days. Due to bad weather we had to cancel and did so in the allowed time frame. About two weeks after cancelling we noticed our credit card had not been credited.... More

Under New Management! The Mariners Inn is under new management and we will be alleviating the issues seen here. In a few short weeks we've had many very happy guests and as time goes by, we will be steadily improving the hotel as much as we can. To be right across from Moonstone Beach, to be at a small boutique... More

Checked in to a Queen room that had such a bad mold smell, I "upgraded" to a double/double that had a jacuzzi tub and a fireplace for another $45. The carpet/furniture was REALLY dated. Carpeting had numerous stains. There was no bedside lamp or clock and the outlet at the bathroom would not work unless you reset the electrical (that... More

I booked a room with a whirlpool tub and when I arrived I was given a regular room. I went to the office to... More

I had a few nights away w my husband and we stayed at the Mariner's Inn mostly for price and location! It was right in front of the ocean and a great path to walk along the coast! Really beautiful site. The rooms had too many themes going on: a slick asian like bed cover with this almost latino tile... More

This was a girls getaway trip with three friends and myself. We had a great time, but the beds were uncomfortable and the parking was too tight. I would stay here again if it weren't for the fact that my Discover Card was charged on 10/25/10 and I didn't even begin my stay until 11/12. The 10/25 date was well... More

The manager gave us a special rate for two nights. With the economy the way it is, they want your business so they're usually willing to work with you. You can pay upwards of twice to 3 times as much right next door...with the money you save at Mariner's, you can have a really nice dinner or spend it in... More
