We stayed a week and the weather was great. The beds were comfortable. The pools were clean. The restaurants were very reasonably priced. Our room was located on the first floor, facing the bay. Our kids fished off the marina and they caught plenty of fish. The rooms could use updating, but overall a very enjoyable stay.

Booked our room a couple months in advance for 2 nights in early May. We were initially excited because we got the rooms for about $80/night and the pictures looked very tropical and inviting. First impression pulling into the hotel/parking lot was that it looked very old and out of style. Once we walked into the lobby to check in... More

This is a great place. The view from our room overlooking the water was great. There are 2 nice pools and a spa. The grounds are well kept and clean.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! The view is so beautiful of the Skyway Bridge and the sunrises here at the hotel. Just last week we had manatees and dolphins playing in our marina. It was quite exciting.. We look forward to having you back with us here at the Magnuson Hotel Marina Cove. More

We liked this hotel although a renovation is needed. The location is really neat. As a previous reviewer stated, it was great fun to watch the boats on the bay. We were only staying one night while visiting family. Marcos, an asst. Mgr., checked us in & gave us an upgrade to a room (319) overlooking the bay. He was... More
