The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay
The room was clean as was the property inside. The staff was very helpful, and their cookies (available after 5pm) were also delicious. The parking cost is $18/night, which I think I unreasonable given the amount of parking generally available near them. So I dock them 1 star.
