Marina Bay Hotels, Richmond

"Hotel was a little older. They recently acquired the property and have done an amazing job. Staff unbelievable, room was updated and excellent. The breakfast everyday is absolutely spectacular. I would highly recommend and will be booking it again. Did I say the location couldn’t have been better."

"Great location with a bit of history for the movie buffs. Easy walk down to Union Square and transport options all around. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. "

"Shops nearby were helpful. Super close to a big Macy’s that had food options and in walking distance of a Trader Joe’s. The pool was under maintenance while we stayed which we were not informed about before hand. That was disappointing. "

"Location is excellent! The room is spacious and clean. Water pressure in the shower is very good, however the sink faucet the water is very slow it was a struggle to wash your hands! "

"Always a good experience at The Marker. Easy, prompt, and polite check in which always leads to an enjoyable stay. The lobby and grand staircase is always an experience and elevates my stay every time. Appreciate the VIP perks, sad a room upgrade wasnt available, the suites are always a nice treat! Rooms can be on the smaller side and don't always come with a view, but the unique decor and layout allievate any space issues. Close to Union Square, BART/MUNI, and various restaurants. "

"I loved the location of the property and the beautiful views of the marina from our room. I do think it's time to upgrade the furniture in the rooms. They were pretty wore down. But the staff was great and i'd defintely come back."

"Breakfast was excellent"

"Yes! We watched the ocean from our room!"

"Inside, the staff is very helpful and accommodating without being invasive. The rooms are peculiarly engineered, so make sure that you know what you are about to spend the night in. I think the room that I rented for two nights is made for single travelers or a close couple because I was in a sky cabin and the first thing that I notice when I walk into the room was just a stand-alone toilet. No doors or walls separating the toilet from the main cabin area, so make sure you are ultra comfortable with your cabin-mate in very close quarters. Then you climb a steep spiral ladder/staircase to the loft sleeping cubby, with a once-smart tv at the foot of the bed. If you are claustrophobic, I would look for a different floor plan but if you don’t mind, it’s a fun and futuristic theme. Everything about the hotel is great in that it’s very quick and easy check-in, resembling checking in at the airport or at a tech conference or something. The cabins are designed to resemble air travel cabins and are designed to feature minimalist and space-saving utility. If you’ve ever seen that show “tiny house hunters” and how everything is engineered to make the most out of tiny spaces, then you get the idea of what the cabins are like on the inside. The water and ice machine on each floor has the best crunchy ice you’ve ever had at a hotel. Check out 2nd floor Mission Cntrl!"
