Disliked: Cleanliness
Its a non smoking room but it did smell like smoke. There were some cleanliness issues. Found a dirty towel folded up as clean in the bathroom. The others didn't really inspire that much confidence either. The bed had either sand or like crumbs under the main sheet ( had to shake the bed clean. Not sure what it was. The door chain is broken. The door doesn't lock on its own you have to press the button for it to lock if not you're doors will remain unlocked. Besides that the room was fine. To be honest for the price I paid it was much better than another I stayed for almost $370 and to an extent the room was in a better condition.

I’m not one much to complain, but I just drove 12 hours all I need was a few hours of sleep. I asked to see if I can check in early. I couldn’t. I came back at three and there was still noise from construction happening in the building 8 o’clock and there’s still noise and I still have seven more hours to drive. I think coming from the hospitality industry after 3 o’clock check in there should be no construction going on.

Horrible Horrible Horrible run don’t stay

The hotel was horrible, ran down, holes in the wall, missing toilet seat, moldy and mildew, bathroom exhaust fans are missing, looks like drywall repair started but never finish, looks nothing like what’s in the picture, it was so bad I couldn’t stay then they manager/maintenance/painter told me to contact who I booked through for a refund and when I contact hotels.com I was told it was up to the property manager and he refused worst transaction I ever had in my life please stay away for this place.

Horrible Staff

Horrible, I had to wait for 60-90 minutes for them to put a knob on the door which was a deadbolt. They never gave me a key. So I never slept my first day. Then instead of changing the room the staff tried to create an argument and put me out of the hotel. But lucky I recored the entire situation once he seen it was being recorded he gave me service. I would never recommend this stay to a fly

White Marlin Inn? More like BED BUG INN

This place is DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING!! The room and bathroom itself had NOT been cleaned at all, the ironing board LEFT out, NOTHING was washed, it looks as though someone had thrown a clean pillow case OVER the dirty one, the REFRIGERATOR and MICROWAVE weren’t even CLEAN, the bathroom door was falling apart, the quilt on the bed had holes BURNT in it! There was even some lady’s sundress left IN THE DRAWER and the lamp only had ONE LIGHT BULB. To make matters worse, I woke up the next morning to BED BUG bites on my arm!! I had booked for two nights, stayed ONLY 1!! This place needs to be removed from ALL booking sites ASAP. I want a FULL REFUND!
Cigarette burn in the quilt
Bathroom door that was “remodeled”
Dirty pillow case that had a clean one thrown in top of it
Dirty microwave (not cleaned)

Do not stay here!

Check-in process was horrible. While checking in the owner’s wife came by and was yelling and pulling the desk in 10 different ways, so my check-in process took about 20 minutes because she was too busy yelling him about things that were not done and what needed to be done at the property. They give you an actual key instead of a card key like normal hotels. My Check-in process was horrible. They give you an actual key instead of a card key like normal hotels. I requested a non-smoking room and the room smelled like smoke and is very outdated. The room looks nothing like the pictures online. At night there are a lot of people outside doing drugs. And the doors do not lock properly or have proper door handles. Very horrible experience would not recommend this location to anyone. I did not even stay the night I ended up leaving and going to another location down the street on oceanfront. Don’t waste your time and money at this location! Too bad I could not get a refund due to booking on hotels.com.
