Marina Inn

The Marina Inn, as others have said, is a surprise for a budget motel. The person at the front desk was very friendly and let me check in early. The room is a decent size, obviously recently refurbished and nicely decorated with none of the musty smells associated with an older motel. There's a small fridge, a microwave, and a one-cup coffeemaker. The bathroom is small but clean and modern. No tub, but instant hot water. So all in all a nice room.

My biggest complaint was the bedding. The bed was comfortable enough but the bedding was cheesy, with a single thin blanket pilled from many washings, and a polyester bedspread. No extra blankets in the room. Considering one of the main things you do in a motel room is sleep, I think it would benefit this place to upgrade the bedding. It just felt very cheap. Also, the room heater left a lot to be desired. It did the job, but slowly, and the thermostat was obviously not working as it said the temperature in the room was 44 degrees F even after it had warmed up. I had to leave the heater running during the night because the bedding was so thin, and since the thermostat didn't work it would just keep running and the room got too hot so I had to get up and turn it off. If this place would upgrade the bedding and keep the heaters in good working condition it would go from good to awesome!
