We loved its' location overlooking the marina. The other bonus was the proximity to the bus terminal which meant no stress getting to our bus the morning we left.
The hotel is bright and spacious, and the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend the Marina Rio and would happily stay there again.

Overlooking the marina. A short walk to the area for pickup for the cave boat tours. Also a short walk to old town Lagos, with shops and sidewalk cafes. Great location and a lovely hotel.
