The Hotel is actually a motel, outdated and run down. We spent only one night there and moved to a different hotel. I wouldn't ever stay there again.

A nice adorable place to just take a getaway. But definitely could use a better cleaning after walking on the floor your feet will be brown 😞 and the ac did not work and no one was in the office to reach them but other than that we did enjoy it

Outdated, but I’ve stayed in worse. Not the cleanest, but not especially UN clean either. Here for the marathon, so it is acceptable, but I wouldn’t choose to stay here during a longer vacation.

Dirty Motel
Only 1 person at the check in desk. No parking available, the desk attended ask us to double park. The room was no clean and toilet wasnt working. We observed the porter also dose the housekeeping. The floor in the rooms look as they haven't been cleaned all summer. A/C air conditioning had a musty smell. Pretty sure the filter has ever been replaced. You get what you pay for. Location is good, this motel should be reported to the health inspector

Upon arrival, we had to go look for someone to check us in. When we got to our rooms they were filthy, there was some long black hair on the bathroom shower wall. Our room was NEVER cleaned during our stay. We ran out of toilet paper. We had a room with 4 people booked in advance and they got 2 towels. You couldn't tell who worked there because they didn't even have shirts identifying themselves. We will NEVER go back there no matter how much money we save. It's not worth it. I even paid more than twice what i did 2 weeks prior at a Wyndham in Orlando!

I’ve stayed here a few times. It’s a block from the beach which is nice. BUT, the quoted price on Expedia is not the price you pay. I paid over $300 more than what was quoted. At the desk, I was told that I got “a big room”, “one of the best rooms” with a view of the ocean. The latter was true, but going back to my earlier statement, I’ve been there a few times. Every room in the “outbuilding” is exactly the same. Housekeeping is non existent, and when I asked for turndown, I was told to go find the housekeeper myself. I booked The Blue Marlin only because I had stayed there before and it was familiar and somewhat centrally located. But the next time I spend $300 more, it’ll be somewhere else.

The room was nothing like the pictures. The tub was disgusting, the clothing bar was out of the wall and couldn’t be utilized, there was water all over the floor, door didn’t shut right, not to mention there were homeless people camped out next to where you park your car. Needless to say we did NOT stay there.

The manager Teresita at the front desk was a great manager. I saw her how she managed and fair to her guess. She takes action and care for her customers. She gave us parking doing back to back for both car to accommodate us and showed care for her guest. I also seem her to call towing company just to give parking for the guess which mean she care for the customers great stayed thanks Teresita

HORRIBLE!! Dirty everywhere, sheets, walls, amenities, floor. Trash on floor and in the drawers. Room smelled very old and filthy. This was the first room? Now the second room was the same way but it smelled better and there was a large hole in bathroom door. Hair in the sink. The guy that checked me in was rude and kept tossing the keys on the counter to me and was being rude because asked for a refund which he denied because his property was disgusting. He told me that no one else complains and I told him that I live like this at home so I’m not comfortable. I didn’t even stay in the room. I left after an hour of checking in. I just couldn’t lay down. This place is ran down, old, dirty. Do not book this place.

Won’t be back
Majority of the electrical outlets were loose and could push into the wall- a major fire hazard. Prayed the room would not catch on fire while I slept. Broken shower rod and toilet paper dispenser and tried to be cheaply fixed. Towels were water thin. Hotel is better off telling guests to provide their own sheets and towels. Staff at check in was rude. I would not stay here again.

Filthy room - not returning here
If you like a filthy room, plaster peeling off the ceiling and paint chips from the wall falling on the floor which they don’t bother sweeping up before you get there and rusty bathroom light fixtures, a bathroom ceiling fan that has more hair on it than you do on your head, and uncomfortable beds, then this is the place for you.

The service was fine but the rooms need major updating. I requested a non-smoking room and it smelled like it was all smoking. Moldy and musty smell... showers could use a good disinfectant cleaning, mold remover from the tiles, sweeping is needed, under the bed was dirty, walls looked abused and dirty... well... last time i will stay there.

You are not going to get better for the price point. You will not be dissapointed. The bathrooms are more recently remodeled, the place was clean and kept up to date through the years. Stay in they tower, which is approximately 5 stories, you can see the ocean from the third floor. Lastly, you are one small block from the boardwalk and ocean.
