Pros:

Very clean and comfortable. No frills and no view, but if that doesn't matter to you this place is great. El Ganzo across the street has a great rooftop pool with a view - you can get a day pass.

The food at the restaurant is good and very inexpensive.

A mixed bowl of beans....
Pros:

We recently stayed at La Marina Inn with my family for four days in March, and it was a mixed experience.

On the positive side, the hotel and our room were clean, and the housekeeping staff was very helpful. We also enjoyed the food at George's Restaurant, which was truly terrific and a highlight of our stay.

However, our experience was marred by significant issues with the front office staff. They displayed a concerning lack of customer service, demanding payment upfront and increased our bill by over $300 three times, citing incorrect website information. This made us feel held hostage—pay up or risk losing our rooms.

Additionally, one of my friends had to rush back to the USA two days early due to a serious medical emergency with his daughter. Despite the situation, the front office did not offer even a partial refund, which felt very unaccommodating.

The manager, Ana Laura, seemed to keep her team on edge, rarely offering a smile or greeting. Despite her exceptional English skills, she often pretended not to understand when we raised concerns. The restaurant staff were also somewhat slow; it took about 30 minutes to receive a simple dish.

Furthermore, small amenities such as coffee in the room were lacking, and we had to repeatedly ask for an ironing board.

Overall, while La Marina Inn has potential with its clean rooms and great food, the service experience left much to be desired. It felt more like a motel with a plantation ambiance rather than a welcoming hotel

The staff were very informative and friendly. The rooms were immaculate and the beds and linens were very comfortable. The restaurant is clean and serves up delicious meals at a reasonable cost. The addition of live entertainment is a nice bonus and the area that the in is located in is safe and walkable.

Pros:

There were a few shortcomings that one would expect of a 2-3 star hotel:
- No elevator. Had to carry luggage to the 3rd floor.
- Little ventilation in the bathroom
- Insufficient number of power outlets in the room (at least for a family of four)
- The pool is small and not heated.
- They charge for your full stay during check in.

But the real disappointment was to return to the room at 4:30 pm after being out all day and find it halfway serviced with sheets piled up on one of the beds, cleaning supplies outside the door and none of the cleaning people anywhere nearby. When I reported this to the receptionist, she asked that I understand that they had only two cleaning people and that they needed to take their break. It took about half an hour until the cleaning people showed up again to finish what they started. We had to wait until they were done to go in to shower and change and were late for our dinner.
I think it’s understandable that one shouldn’t expect all the amenities of a more expensive hotel, but having the staff go on a break halfway through cleaning a room is just classless for any hotel.

Pros:

We loved our 3-day stay at La Marina. The room was very comfortable as were the queen beds. The room was quiet and very clean.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant (George’s) was excellent. We didn’t need to eat anywhere else.

We will definitely stay there again if we return to San Jose del Cabo!

Pros:

Wonderful experience for a Valentine's get away ❤️ George's Restaurant was excellent and very good with my Celiac and dairy intolerance. Staff were great. Room was clean, comfortable and we would have no problem recommending this Inn. Enjoy the day.

Don't waste your money at La Marina.
Pros:

There were many things about this hotel that appealed to us at booking. It was small, close to the harbor, etc. However, our experience was disappointing. The place lacks some basic functionalities that generally are found in 2-3 star hotels -- in-room coffee maker, full length mirror, personal care items like soap bars, etc. The bigger problem was the lack of maintenance and that management didn't take things seriously. Our room smelled like sewage which was coming from the sink, and when we complained, they just said it was an old hotel in an old part of town. We booked directly from them for 8 nights but left after 4 due to the stench. They refused to refund part of our payment, despite the odor. The best thing we can say about La Marina is that the beds were very comfortable and the cleaning was thorough.
