Don’t stay here!!!

Do not stay here! Room door was very insecure room was filthy, no TV remote, no floor towels, I don’t think the sheets were even washed. Then to top it off, the manager came and verbally aggressively insulted a special needs guest and his parent it was completely disgusting. Her actions as was the whole stay.

Horribl

The room was nasty!! Tons of hair in the sink and shower. The toilet was broken and was rocking back and forth. The air conditioner was leaking huge puddles into the room. The fridge was old and rusted around the seals of the door and barely cooled anything. There were tons of ants everywhere in the room. The tv was broken on the bottom. And worst of all we found roaches on the floor and upon further investigation behind the tv.. worst place ever!!! We had to go buy towels and wash clothes because front desk would tell us to find housekeeping and they were never around!

Overall the location and the property/motel is good. We’ve stayed here a few times without anything causing us to question. But with staying in the apartment they have this time we had bugs that coming back over and over after killing them. They were like caterpillar like insects that were crawling on the ceiling and floors especially during the night. That was the only big issue that caused concerns. They may need to hire an exterminator to come and get rid of those.

False advertising at its finest. This room was awful. They didn’t clean the room at all while we were there. I had to ask for a broom to borrow and ask for extra towels that they said they only provided two and two wash rags. The room was not very clean when we arrived. The manager at the office when we arrived was rude and could barely speak any English. I will never stay here again.

We stayed for a week in room 202 - you get what you pay for. There wasnt any bugs in the room thank god , however it was very rinky dinky. 2 people vacation and the house maids acted like 1 towel , 1 wash cloth and 1 roll of toilet paper was more then plenty for a week. The only trash can was a tiny one for the bathroom, the shower curtains had mold on the bottom. There wasnt any hot water in the bathroom sink, you had to flush the toilet several times due to low water pressure. The fridge kinda sucked, it was very rusted along the bottom edge and didnt seal very good. There wasnt a microwave in the room, the dresser drawers smelled like mold and wound barely open. Late one night the huge mirror fell off the wall , the room doesnt have curtains and they leave "porch" lights on all night and it was super bright in the room even with blinds down. There is no service desk at the white marlin inn you have to check in at the sea breeze , the wifi service sucked. Theres no ice machine either, there was already sand on the floors and bed when we checked in. The tv barely worked and the screen had lines through it, the bathroom is also very very tiny

Sketchy sketchy sketchy.

We took one look at room and property and handed the keys back in and left. Our first look was a drunk guy starting fights and the cops showing up. Sketchy people hanging all around. Did not feel safe.

I stayed a week with my girlfriend and we throughly enjoyed the stay. the staff was friendly to give me any needed towels or other things, the nice lady at the front desk let me check in early, and they always made sure to say hello. the room was perfect just a nice comfortable bed to sleep on in the night. sheets were a little dirty, and couldn’t figure out the tv but i’m not one to complain about small things. i enjoyed very much with an affordable price and so close to everything it was very convenient. the ac also got very cold making the room very nice after a long day. i would recommend
