Don't be fooled by its name, not "marina" at all even though it is kinda close. Toilet very strange position
This is a legacy motel with comfortable rooms and a very affordable price. I stayed here once, and I liked it enough to come back. Each room has a heater and a clean bathroom with a very satisfying shower. AC Transit buses stop nearby, and they're easy to use. Front desk staff is friendly and accommodating. Parking on site without extra charge.

Parking easy. First motel I have Ever stayed at that you had to request soap. Room run down but clean. No table but did have desk and one chair. Little storage, bathroom cramped. Took a while to figure out heater. Bed, linens fine. Did not find extra blanket.
Room heater was minimally adequate but could have been better.

I love the Marriott Napa Vallejo the room was spotless. The service was great. I just really love staying there. The bids are unbelievably comfortable and it’s a great price. This is my go to every time I go down to see my mom.
Staff was amazing. The heater in the room didn’t work. They did bring a portable heater the second day that solved th issue. For the price, Inn is fine, but wouldn
