Marina Beach Hotel

Marina Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"The location is the best part…walkable to the wharf, funk town, beach, restaurants and tasting rooms. Room was renovated but small. These are renovated motel rooms which we didn’t love that layout but the majority of the accommodations in SB are Inns or Motels. Staff were nice and helpful. Pool is at the motel next door. Bikes are a lil run down, Breakfast was nice…they partner with local bakery shops and provide delicious pastries and bagels. The coffee was smooth and tasty. They have dairy free creamer…just ask for it. Overall, it worked for the night, but I wouldn’t stay there for a longer stay."

"The Inn was beautiful and well maintained. The location was close enough to downtown and the beach to walk to, but far enough away to be quiet and serene. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating."

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

8/10 Good
"The property was well located, the grounds were not large but well maintained and cheerful, the staff were outstanding. Everyone at the front desk went above and beyond. The wine at the happy hour was very good. The breakfast was better than average. However, we found the design not ideal in the 2nd floor garden view rooms. It was difficult to regulate the temperature of the rooms at night - getting fresh outside air into the room depended on two tiny windows covered by drapes and a small window in the bath. The AC worked but blew right at the bed just a few feet distant. The larger ground floor rooms would have better met our needs."
