The worst place ever

This place was a nightmare. The room was dirty, crawling with bugs and cockroaches. There was no trash can anywhere, and the bathroom smelled awful. The sheets were stained, the AC barely worked, and the walls were so thin I heard everything from the next room. I couldn’t sleep and left feeling worse than when I arrived. Never again.

This property is disgusting. The TV was broken, room and bathroom was NOT cleaned, the pillows had blood on them and were just turned over, their towels are dirty looking and dingy, curtains are full of holes, there is no door handle on the inside of the door and the door handle outside was a HOSE CLAMP THEY SCREWED TO THE OUTSIDE. Go anywhere else. The property owner should be ASHAMED!

Nightmare Vacation

From the second i pulled in the parking lot with my family we had severe doubts about our stay. I chose the pay at property option but the credit card machine wasnt working (sketchy as heck) so the owner off property was somehow able to process the payment. Now after that mess, we walk in our room which only has a deadbolt, no doorknob, the bedspread has stains on both beds, sand on the tile floor, dirt/ dust bunnys along the walls, on top of the curtains. There was dirt and sand and trash behid the tv stand and night stand, the lamp on the nightstand was rusted and filthy. The bathroom was equally disgusting. The shower handle had mold inside of it and the tub was stained and appeared to be dirty. We thoroughly checked the beds because we couldn't cancel our stay at this point without being charged the full amount for the 2 night stay. We were on a budget and couldn't afford to go elsewhere. So we did what we could, ie: (bought rubbing alcohol to spray the beds in case of bugs), to try to salvage our mini vacation but unfortunately on the second morning my wife woke me at 3:15 am with a bed bug on her arm. So now we are left with the fear that we could infest our home due to the filth of the White Marlin Inn. FYI, their website photos are 7+ years old, very deceiving, and the Google reviews that i mistakenly didn't dig deep enough into are horrible. If you are a single female or your daughter and her friends mention this place tell them to avoid it at all costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
