"The room I was in was very worn. There was peeling paint on one of the window areas, chipped counter tops, a very saggy sofa and mattress, and no thin shades or curtains to allow light in without exposing the guest to people walking by the window. The curtains were light blocking, so the choice is to have people able to see in as they walked by or keep the curtains closed and have a dark room hat required artificial light. Not great for waking up in the morning. The “breakfast” was coffee or black tea, chocolate muffins, and granola-type bars. Nothing fresh. I brought my own food for breakfast knowing there was a kitchenette. The challenge there was that it had no cups, plates, or utensils. To add to the experience, the walls and ceiling are very thin so you hear people walking about or people in the next room. And, due to it’s proximity to the airport, the sounds of jets taking off is very loud and begins before 6:00AM. The staff was fine, but didn’t make up for the less than average facility and amenities. I would not recommend this location to anyone who expects more comfort. "

"Very accomadating , would recommend friends to stay at this perfect hotel"

"Front desk staff were very nice and welcoming. Lobby seemed decent enough. Never ate any food although I did receive a complimentary breakfast ticket which was nice. Room was ok. First floor at end of property. "Water view" was waterway view with buildings across the street and a homeless mini camp. The room's carpet was stained in multiple places, some of which were maybe food or other fluids that stood out on the dark carpet. I'm thinking they could have been cleaned up. Then there were other darker stains. It's either time for new carpet or much better cleaning protocols. When I exited the bed, and used my shoes, they stuck to the ground. Again, the carpet clearly needed attention. The bathroom towels had long hairs in them, as did the shower - never a good experience. Outlets were loose. The bed had a very clear divet in the middle, so I slept on one side. If I was staying for multiple nights, I definitely would have asked for another room. One night, and barely that I just dealt with it. Also, the cleaning staff were rather loud in the morning. Glad to know they get along and enjoyed seeing each other, but it was 7am and they continued off and on til at least 8 am! I can't say I've ever heard the cleaning staff in other hotels I've visited in my 40 years of traveling."

"The only that I noticed was that the online pictures of the lobby and the rooms were not current. Carpeting throughout was in need of either replacement or a deep cleaning. But other then that the rooms were clean, had plenty of towels and most importantly for me was the shower, toilets, and bathroom floor were very clean as was the bedding."

"I have stayed at the Coral Reef many times over the years. It is a classic 1930’s/1940’s motel so things are a bit old. But the price, value, and location are great for a traveler who enjoys a place with character and history. The website suggests they have a “business center,” but they do not have a room with a computer and printer you can access. But the staff at front desk were very helpful and printed out my conference papers for me. I had a great stay"

"This hotel was dated, yet clean, friendly, and functional. My son and I needed somewhere to stay before our early flight out of Oakland and this place was perfect. We liked the quiet location by the marina and the fact that we could walk next door for dinner. We slept well and being close to the airport made our travel day far less stressful with a 6am departure. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay again. "

"Nice"

"My coffee maker has cleaning clemaicla in it that mixed into my coffee. They replaced it however when I complained to the GM she responded after 5 days then implied I was lying. I kept the original coffee maker in the room to verify. They do not take your concerns seriously and will stonewall you."

"Shower head cracked from the top spray water everywhere"
