Marina Green is a vast lawn where locals love to jog, skate, fly kites, picnic, or walk their dogs.

A good, basic motel, offering large pleasant rooms with bay windows, located on the Marina s Motel Row. It isn t beautiful, but it s functional and reliable. All rooms are no smoking, and parking is complimentary. A minimum montague on the garden stay may apply on some weekends. d 1901 Lombard St
