The staff is very nice and the motel is in a safe location, however, you need to be okay with the lack of room cleanliness. The bed sheets and such were definitely clean, just lack of floor/kitchenette/bathroom were not the best.

not a nice hotel

reserved a non-smoking room with a king size bed and we were checked into a smoking room with two double beds. The room was dirty and smelled of smoke. A used condom wrapper was on the floor beside the bed. When I tied to opened the freezer, the microwave fell off of the top of the freezer and I was lucky to catch it. The shower was dirty, the mirror was smeared, the bed sheets looked dirty, and the curtain had a rip in it that people could look through.

Convenient location especially for the price. Very nice surrounding neighborhood and easy to walk everywhere. No cleanliness at all...First room i was given the shower continously ran, not dripped but running and there was visable mold on the shower curtian and wall from it. The desk was more.than accommodating in changing rooms however the second room had trash in room cabinets, used shampoo bottle and hair left in shower, pretty sure one of the towels had already been used.

My partner and i stayed here during our trip to virginia beach. I feel like you could find something within this price range that’s better. The hotel definitely was not deep cleaned and there was no housekeeping. Towels were dirty upon arrival, bathroom had mold/sand everywhere, there was sticky dirt on the handles of the dressers, it had a foul smell for it being a non-smoking room and most importantly roaches. The only good thing was the staff because of how respectful and accommodating they are. I just want to be transparent in case anybody was looking to stay here because it’s honestly not the best idea. I unfortunately will not be recommending or staying here again.

The only positive thing about the White Marlin Inn in Virginia Beach is its walking distance to the boardwalk and beach. Beyond that, our stay was awful and deeply disappointing. At check-in, I was told my booking had been cancelled that morning with no email, call, or explanation — extremely unprofessional after traveling 13 hours. Our room was filthy and clearly not cleaned. Though booked as non-smoking, it reeked of smoke. The bedding had burn holes, stains, and looked unwashed; dust, ashes, and cigarette remnants were everywhere. The AC barely worked, was caked in dust, and smelled of mildew. The chair was filthy, the TV didn’t work, lighting was poor, and nearly everything was broken, rusted, or beaten down. The bathroom was a health hazard with broken faucets, stained towels, and a strong mildew odor. The “kitchen” had a hole in the ceiling patched with paper and tape, filthy cabinets, and the “closet” was just a tiny space with one bent hanger. Safety was a serious concern — half the locks on the door were broken, and questionable activity around the property made it feel unsafe. Spiderwebs and dust lined the walls and corners, adding to the neglected, unsanitary conditions. For the price paid, this was unacceptable. We couldn’t wait to leave. This motel is unsafe, unsanitary, and should not be operating. All pictures attached are from our room. We intend to report this inn and strongly advise avoiding it. Spend the extra $100 for a proper place.
