Thought it is a no frils hotel, they do very well at making you feel welcomed. If I had any issue, it will be that they may benefit from an ice machine and or a soda vending machine. Other than this it is a great hotel to stay in a budget. Good Job and thanks.

Hotel Aqua Mar was okay. I did appreciate them calling to ask what time I would be checking in, in which showed they were expecting me. However, the room was more on the smaller side. We stayed in a two queen room. We were a little snug for my family of 4.

This motel is a hidden gem. The front desk gentleman 100% customer service. No matter the situation ( I made my reservation for the wrong dates) He handled it so well I didn’t feel the least bit bad from my mistake. There are features here unlike other places. Nice & newer easy to open & close windows on two sides of my rooms to get a nice little breeze instead of a/c. My single room is the least expensive and it has a larger size dorm room fridge that looks new & a nice new clean easy to use microwave. The medium gray color room darkening curtains were measured correctly and fit the window width with extra material so no gaps on the sides! The walls are nicely textured with great colors of paint in shades you might want to paint the inside rooms of your house when you get home! The mattress I like it is my firmness with smaller comfy bed pillows almost squares. Large flat tv with Cox great picture. The bathroom has the best large round flush fitting light fixture with the exhaust fan having enough power to do its job & it’s vented out! In closing my thoughts are this. How nice a smaller motel for a change. This motel location is great to go to Shelter Island, Liberty Station & don’t forget to visit the Cabrillo Monument. They are re-doing the road there now.i haven’t been here in 3 yrs & Miguel’s Cocina is still no doubt my favorite Mexican food restaurant in all of So-Cal with the best staff!

It was very close to the airport and Liberty Station, lots of dining places nearby that is walkable, liquor store and Winchell's donuts right across street. Very convenient spot. Room was clean and inviting. Upon checking in, Dave was polite and very helpful. This was the first time staying here. Price was very reasonable and I will definitely stay here again when in the area.
