The property had no elevators so that was hard on me with the stairs. However, my husband talked to Mrs. Sue and she put us in a king room on first floor side with an excellent view of the marina. Good Experience.

The view was spectacular, and the beds have new mattresses. The hotel is old; they haven't remodeled it, but it's clean. The only complaint was that the area around the bathtub was very dirty and covered in mold. A good stay. I was traveling with my husband and two children.

I was on a solo vacation and booked this hotel because of its charm and small town vibe. The location was perfect. I decided to give 3 stars for the following reasons... on night one, two people entered my room while I was in there. They apologized but didnt say anything else. They entered theough the cinnect door

I liked that it was on the water & was quite but the room had an oder that smelled like mildew in the air system that didnt go away no matter what I did & i used a diffuser, sprayed like crazy- including vents but it just stunk, then the carpet in the beroom was extremely old & gross, the first room we were sent to was still dirty they thought it had been cleaned, then the second room they got us in stunk & was very outdated, hope they remodel because the place would be amazing if so

The view was beautiful has a boat slip if you bring one. Boat ride very close to crab island and other places. Staff were very attentive and took care of any issues we had. They are working on updating the property. Great price for a good location to everything you need.

There are sand in bedsheets. Floor carpet is very wet by our bed. Coffee maker is not clean. No WiFi connection. One thing scares us is there are two girls knocked on our door at 2:28am asking us to open the door for them. Next day when we talk to the staff in front desk, they said they saw those girls a couple of times.

This place is horrible! We got to the first room the bed was not made! The next room smelled like mildew, had roaches and at 11pm some kids decided to play ding ding ditch on our floor! We decided at 11:45pm to just leave and find another hotel to stay in! Never again will we go back to Marina Bay Resort!!!!

It's close to the beach. It's an older property under new management. Staff working when we checked in, so nice!! We were a late check in, but she waited and didn't show any kind of irritation with us.
The place itself is, ok, older...... but the pool and hot tub were clean and the place is well kept. There was NO foul odors at all!!!!! The beds are, comfy isn't something I'd say, but the bedding is CLEAN!! NO "items" that would lead us to believe any type of "critters" in or around!!
Seriously, the property is very well kept!!!!! We had no concerns with staying there a couple nights and would go back and stay there again and again!!!!
Thank you Marina Bay for a safe and clean stay!!

This property took me back to the late 1900s, with its retro pool table slopping to the left hard,to the ping pong table with half the net hanging haphazardly off to the side and paddles with the padding almost nonexistent. The hotel was in dire need of a restoration 20 years ago, but thats not important, no fridge or microwave made life more difficult on vacay. The stay was pleasant, the rooms clean albiet in derelict shape. The doors safety latch was broken beyond usability and the bathroom fan hung on for dear life as we sat in the restroom hoping it did not fall on our head. For the price, GREAT POOL, HOTTUB, AND LOCATION. A little investing in improvements could go a long way. We enjoyed our stay, the pier had hermit crabs in the shallow water and the view was wonderful. Worth $100 ish a night for lication alone.

Lobby had a musty old smell and needed updsting. Our key didn’t work first time and they didn’t offer breakfast. Our room had NO coffe pot, ice bucket, ftidge,microwave. We asked for a coffee pot and they said it was not a kitchenette room we told them all places offered coffee pot regardless of room. Noisy at night. The balcony furniture was old, dirty, and molded
The good things were a comfortable bed a tv that worked and the staff was nice but were only there 8-4. We had to wait to check out cause they weren’t there. We will not stay there again

This property is located on the bay with beautiful views. I would have given 5 stars, but check in was quite an ordeal. The manager could not be found, and had left an employee there to run things who had just started that day. Her and the housekeeper were having to check people in, It seems the new management that took over has some work to do. It took 45 minutes and people were all standing around waiting for someone to walk and check their room to make sure it had been cleaned. The ladies were very kind and apologetic. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Love this property! Will return.
