My stay at Magnuson Hotel Marina Cove had its ups and downs. The friendly staff made me feel welcome and were super accommodating, especially when it came to helping with room issues. However, I found the budget room I initially booked to be outdated and cramped, which was disappointing. Once I switched to a better room, my overall experience improved significantly.

I had a pleasant experience overall at Magnuson Hotel Marina Cove, where the stunning water views and the friendly staff stood out. However, the outdated room and musty odor were a bit disappointing. especially considering the positive aspects of the location and ambiance. The food was decent, and the Tiki Bar had a great vibe, but there were definitely some areas that could use improvement.

There were plenty of fun activities available, like jet skiing and biking around the hotel. Unfortunately, the tennis court showed signs of wear, and some amenities could use a little more attention.
