Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival to the Marinwood inn & suite, it was very noticeable that the property was very unclean and unmaintained. A section of the Inn had trash pilled high and very noticeable the pool was extremely dirty. Once I parked and walked in I noticed that the front desk clerk was very rude and short with the guest checking in. Once I received my key after I checked in my wife and I went to our room. Once we entered our room we noticed that the room had an un clean smell. The furniture and chairs was peeling and tearing. The floor was dirty, which prompted my wife to go to the store and buy cleaning products to clean the floor and tub just so we can feel comfortable enough to stay there. There breakfast was only milk and cereal and old bread slices. Expedia should not be offering these types of hotels, suites, inns, etc. The rating on this place is deceitful. On Expedia this is a 7.0 but should be rated as a 2.0. I will never returning to this Inn and I will think twice before using Expedia again.

Location was good for us to get to the Sonoma race track. I didn't like the fact that the staff couldn't speak English. Limited garbage cans in the room. The rooms should be cleaned out a little better. Great location! Friendly staff, but should speak English better.

Will never stay there again!

The room was fine except the service is in need of real improvement. When I checked in, it seemed like I was bothering the check-in the staff. No welcome no smile no forthcoming word formation. Just handed my card and that’s it. When my stay was over, I had realized I had lost my EarPods in the room and I had called for help at the hotel and they responded like I was bothering them again. No help no nothing. Staff even seemed irritated that I called. So now I’ve lost my AirPods. This reallly can’t be that difficult to be nice and helpful.

It's old and unkept, very large property, perhaps not much staff to keep up with. It's good for one night, but not for more than that. We had no deadbolt lock on our door and the bathroom sink didn't drain quickly. The bed was clean.

Made reservation online, we needed a place to park with at least a security camera and he was not interested in helping in any way. AND... Once you make a reservation at this poorly ran hotel you will NOT be getting a refund, this money grabbing establishment does not give refunds for any reason. Very inconsiderate way to run a business.

The frontdesk was uncourteous and rude. Room carpet was disgustingly dirty and smelly. Their safedeposit box is not functioning while when we ask the frintdesk says “put your money in the bank and bring your jewelries with you” How rude and impolite….never coming back to this place nor will we never ever recommend anyone in staying here.
