I couldn't possibly convay how fantastic my wife and my stay was at this little hotel. Mike and Jane are probably amongst the most friendly and helpful hoteliers around. They really made us feel welcome and were generous with their hospitality and knowledge. They and their staff deserve acknowledgement. The hotel itself is a small one, but the rooms are fantastic, a nice lounge area with a honesty bar and good location to get to everything, we will definitely come back at some point.

Excellent stay
We had a excellent stay, we had a text saying our room was ready early and could check in and when we got there we had a very warm welcome from the hosts, we were upgraded to a newly decorated room which was very nice, breakfast was pre ordered the day before it was perfectly cooked and the staff couldn't do enough to help, we would definitely go back and recommend to friends to stay.

We were given a warm welcome as we arrived in the car park. The rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated. We paid extra for breakfast and that didnt disappoint. We had a sea view which was wonderful.

Try elsewhere!
Good location near beach and some good restraunts. Parking a problem- had to give car keys to staff member to allow him to shuffle cars around to suit departure times. Plumbing poor++, no cooling, no suitable ventilation, no view from rear of property. No sea breeze. Place is in need of some basic repairs. TV lead faulty- poor or no reception. Some fixtures in bathroom fell off wall. Staff member pleasant enough. Breakfast only after 8.30.

Response from Jane on Oct 11, 2019
I am so sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us. Unfortunately, I am unable to address all your issues as there is a limit to what I can write so if I haven't addressed everything please feel free to contact me directly and I will do my utmost to satisfy your complaints. The parking in Weymouth is limited and we have found that the way we manage our facility is the best way possible to minimise disruption to other guest. The building is grade II listed therefore, we are unable to install air conditioning but there is a sash window that can be opened for ventilation. Your booking was for a 'rear room' which does not have sea views as described therefore, there isn't much we could do there I'm afraid. The renovations are ongoing and we are governed by time and money but we hope the entire building will be to our standard in the next couple of years. Our guest information folders clearly state that an early breakfast is available on request, as you did not request it we were not aware this was something you were interested in. We have now replaced the TV aerial and would have done so during your stay had it been bought to our attention. Again, please accept our apologies we work very hard to ensure all our guests have an enjoyable stay.

enjoyed our stay.
A lovely welcome from a lovely couple! Georgia is lovely too and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were in the family room with a sea view, on the top floor, just across from the beach and it was amazing to go to sleep listening to the gentle sound of the waves crashing on the beach. The room needs a few little additions, such as 2 pin plug for the bathroom and a cabinet on the other side of the double bed, but this hotel is still a work in progress and the current owners are working hard to update the decor. The honesty bar was a nice touch but I would like to see it a little better stocked with vodka/gin and mixers.

Can't fault the hotel with anything, the whole hotel was clean and updated, the service was exceptional they even park the car in the free parking round back and bought our bags up to the room on the top floor and when asked bought the bag down again the next morning after an amazingly tasty breakfast also catered to food allergens. Highly recommend a stay here we will be returning for our stays here from now on.

Great stay
We were attending a wedding in the area and booked a 2 night stay at The Marina Court Hotel - it was a great decision! We had a family room, it was spacious, spotlessly clean, fresh and perfect for our needs. The proprietors couldn't have been more helpful and made us feel really at home. Great value for money and would highly recommend The Marina Court to friends and family.

Perfect stay for the Wessex Folk Festival, genuine interest in why we were there. Spotless stay, really friendly staff at every point of encounter, lovely cooked breakfast and, for going the extra mile in sorting reserved parking and then much juggling of cars to facilitate smooth departure - top rating. A lot of hotels on this Esplanade strip but we chose well

This hotel has a brilliant location right on the sea front and is a 10-15 minute walk from the harbour. The owners, Jane and Mike, are lovely and could not do enough for us - Mike would not let us even carry our little case from the car and Jane was so helpful when we checked in. They were both so welcoming and the hotel is beautifully decorated and clean and has everything you could possibly need. There is not much parking and it's crowded so be sure to leave your keys with Jane and Mike so they can move it if need be.

Area of interest of bear accessibility. Noisy as rooms of not so noise proof. You can hear adjacent room conversations. Squeaky wooden flooring inspire of carpeted flooring. Washing machine or rumble dryer noise especially late nights. No question on cleanliness..Cleaning staff are friendly and helpful.

Great beachfront hotel
It was an easy to find hotel right on the seafront, we was met by a friendly young lady who explained about getting in and out of the hotel, breakfast etc. You leave your car keys with the hotel as parking is tight and the owner has plenty of practice of making sure they all fit!! The bed was comfy and pillows were very comfy, not easy to drag yourself out of bed in the mornings. We didn't try breakfast on our visit but it smelt lovely. There is no lift at this hotel as it is a victorian building they can't accommodate one, so either ask for a ground floor room or give a miss if you are in a wheelchair or have an issue with stairs. You are literally a stones throw from the shingle beach which is great to walk along and work off those tasty fish and chips Weymouth has to offer. I would say you are a good 10 to 15 minute walk from the harbour and high street. Also a short drive from several supermarkets if you want snacks for days out and fuel etc.

Comfy, clean and run by nice people
We loved our weekend at the Marina Court. First off; the owners are clearly going the extra mile for guests, the work they put in really shows, from the warm welcome to the final settling up everyone working there was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I was hugely impressed with the attention to detail, for example on the breakfast (which was a perfect full English for me) we were looked after throughout with tea and toast coming as we needed and nothing felt like it was too much trouble. The building itself is a grand old Georgian seaside classic with good spacious public areas all of which are immaculate in decor and cleanliness. Our room was a family one with separate bunks for the kids, and offered just the right amount of space for the boys to horse around and for us to have some separation. Two TVs was a useful touch which meant they could watch what they wanted without us having to go Cbeebies too! Bathroom was pretty small but perfectly adequate. The walls are pretty thin in these types of B&Bs, that's to be expected but I would definitely recommend fitting acoustic underlay and sound panels when the owners next refurbish. Other things we liked: fabulous sea view. Amazing to just sit and gaze from either of the big windows at the sun rising off the water. Room was very clean, linen nice and the fridge actually kept the beers cold. There's a handy large and well stocked honesty bar plus free parking. Great place for a happy weekend.

Best view ever!!!!
Booked up for 2 nights as it was a great price. Didn’t expect much but wow was we surprised. Great size room and what a view. Right out on the sea front close enough to hear the waves lapping. If it wasn’t so damn cold in February I would have thought I was abroad. On checking in we were welcomed by the staff and owners. Fantastic people, really friendly. Will definitely be back. Thank you Jane & Mike.
