The staff was so kind and eager to assist. The rooms have been updated and are super cute. It’s the absolute best location. My only suggestion if you’re considering staying is I would not stay here if you are sensitive to noise. You can absolutely hear the neighbors through the walls and the train when it passes by.

I had a great stay at the Marina Beach Motel. My kids and I only stayed one night but I would definitely come back again. The rooms are clean and recently updated. All the staff were extremely friendly. We took advantage of the free bike cruisers they offered and rode down the beach path and through the town (State Street, etc). The location was excellent! I highly recommend this motel if you are visiting SB.
