AC could not maintain a stead and comfortable temperature. Yes, you expect to get what you pay for, but basic necessities such air conditioning should be serviceable. Additionally, lady at the front desk needs a course on basic proper interaction with visitors.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff is very rude. We were told we'd be able to check in early and we were not. I asked for an iron at 5:00 today and finally at 9:00 they said oh we don't have an iron. The rooms are subpar at best I will never stay here again or recommend this to anyone. Furthermore the rate was cheaper when I got here than what Expedia gave it to me for so I had to pay the higher Expedia price instead of paying $120.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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
