Came to town on a week long work trip, not only were the owners super accommodating but they are absolutely incredible down to earth people who take a huge pride in what they have. It's probably the most clean and maintained motel in America. Without a doubt. Some outstanding stone work around the motel. Fireplace with wood stocked I will absolutely be coming back and recommending this to everyone I know! Would 100% recommend to choose this over anything else in the area! Thank you Henry and Jamie for all that you do for your customers, and the motel!

The Marina Motel is such a great place to stay! We came as guests and left feeling like family! The rooms and grounds are meticulously kept by the owners, Jamie and Henry. They are readily available for any needs that arise and have great advice for things to do while visiting the area. The breakfast included with the room was very good especially since there are not places to eat breakfast in Inlet! The fresh daily donuts were my favorite along with yogurt for a protein source! They are just off the Main Street so everything in town is walkable and you have a place that is safe to park your car. We truly enjoyed our stay with them and plan to return next summer!

Thank you to the owner Jamie and all her staff for a wonderful stay at their quaint establishment. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The grounds were well kept. Continental breakfast and coffee were a great start for the day. If you are in the area and looking for a nice place to stay don't hesitate we were not disappointed. Thank you Jamie!!

Very impressive motel. Rooms are basic but clean and tidy. Nothing fancy but definitely a very nice place to stay in comparison to other motels in the area. The owner Jamie was very pleasant and accommodating. The motel is nicely landscaped and looked after. You can tell Jamie has pride in ownership because the attention to detail and care is evident throughout the property. Walking distance to the village and plenty of on-site parking. Jamie even had a kickstand pad for my motorcycle!!

Loved my stay at the Marina Motel in Inlet! Spotlessly clean, honestly cleaner than some Hiltons I’ve been to! The bakery treats were amazing (I almost felt bad eating a “powdered” donut in a kitchen that perfectly clean!!) Cozy gathering room, lovely outdoor seating, and everything in town within walking distance. Staff was warm and welcoming, and I even spotted a deer on my morning walk. Perfect stay! I will be back! -Melissa Godwin-

We stayed at the Marina Motel last weekend in Inlet NY to do some snowmobiling! Our experience was absolutely amazing! Jamie and her husband Henry were absolutely fantastic super friendly willing to help us with anything we needed! They had a huge parking lot for trucks and trailers, making it easy to ride right from our front door. The motel is located right on the trail with easy access to Old Forge and Moose River Plains. We will absolutely be staying there again soon!

I had an incredible experience staying at the Marina Motel in Inlet, NY! From start to finish, everything was smooth and enjoyable. Jamie, the owner, went out of her way to make sure our three units were next to each other and even helped us out with a last-minute booking request, which we really appreciated. She’s a very hands-on and thoughtful host who clearly takes pride in maintaining the property and making her guests feel welcome. The motel is clean, cozy, and in a perfect location, we walked to dinner at Tony Harper’s just down the road and had a great meal. The continental breakfast in the morning was excellent, and the coffee was great too, a perfect start to the day. You can tell Jamie puts care into every detail. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the area. We’ll definitely be back!
