This place was formerly a Howard Johnson Motel. Some of the signage left behind shows their logo. Overall, the place is a good value. We’ve stayed here twice, for an annual event we attend. This year the place seemed like it was running a bit smoother than last year. Easy check in and out, very friendly staff that seem to be doing the nest they can under the circumstances. What circumstances? you might ask…. Without beating around the bush, the place is in dire need of some maintenance. The rooms have tiny flat screen TV’s that were put in place of the large ones that used to be there. The holes and outline of the previous large TV are still there in the wall. It is the same in all rooms as we’ve stayed in two and saw many others. The lamps are the nice ones with an outlet and USB ports at the base, but all the ones I saw were in disrepair with loose outlets or broken and rusted (Marina is near the ocean after all) USB ports I would not trust to any electronics. Our friend stayed in another room which had a sink that sent water spraying all over when the faucet was turned on. Staff said they were aware of it but a plumber was not coming until Monday (this was Friday evening). The bathroom door in our room closed and latched but the lock only worked with the door open. All minor stuff that didn’t affect our one night stay, but does prevent a higher rating.
