Door issue, It was difficult and challenging to unlock and open the door. I reported it to the front desk clerk; she said to try pulling on the door handle after using the card to unlock the door. Everyday I had to attempt this method several times before the door would finally open. It was very frustrating having to deal with it during my 4 night stay. Parking was also a challenge, the spaces are very tight and limited, the first night I had to park in the street.

The property was decent upon arrival. We quickly drop off our belongings and went across the street to the beach. When we came back we noticed there was back flow and the sink was 1/4th full of water and sediment. Phone in room did not work so we walked over to the desk and requested someone to fix it while we left for dinner. 2 hrs later we came back and the sink was full maybe 1 inch from the top. We went back to the desk and they said they were full booked and offered us 2 towels to help contain the spill. Both receptionist could not care less and asked US if we were sure we didn’t cause the problem The plumber came back and said they would have to open up the wall and the manager was trying to send us to a Motel 8. We were eventually transferred at midnight to a different hotel. We did not get to stay at the Mariner. Very disappointing

The ceiling was poorly repared and painted. Dry wall not repaired correctly. Very ugly. The floors stayed continuously wet and slippery. Door lock was very difficult to use and sometimes i had to try repeatedly to get in.

My stay has been nothing short but excellent. It’s conveniently located near the beach within a walkable distance to restaurants and shops. Housekeeping is very helpful. It’s an affordable and comfortable stay. My only complaint would be the breakfast which isn’t much of a breakfast. They offer muffins and coffee. Otherwise, I recommend.
