    This motel is in really bad shape the rooms smell bad, the microwave was a trash so was the refrigerator, I found a dead roach in the bathroom, I wanted to live right away but they said the money was not refundable… I do not recommend this place at all

    Despite the rooms was recently renovated I actually enjoyed my stay and I might come back soon

    Staff were good but a lot to put right All the cupboards in the kitchen bit were screwed shut and painted over so of no use No kettle or hairdryer Clean room bedding had cigarette holes in them towels okay But the worst thing was most nights the guests were shouting or playing loud music and arriving after midnight so it wasn't great for sleeping Worse at the weekends Shame as it was in a really good for the beach

    The towels were so old and stained, the bed coverings were so old and dirty! There was dust all over the countertops. We thought we could stay but after about an hour we felt so disgusted we had to leave and rent a hotel down the road. Me and my wife have been married 26 years and we both agreed this was the worst place we have ever stayed!!!

    It was a terrible experience. The AC wasn't working, and the room was infested with cockroaches. We had to leave in the middle of the night because the roaches started spreading everywhere. We tried to contact management, but they never responded. They stole $310, and we didn't even stay one night. I strongly advise against staying here!

    We refused to stay and went elsewhere. HORRIBLE AND NOT SAFE.

    The air conditioner was the best part of my stay. Oh and they DO NOT have bed bugs, the pillows are true sized pillows.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room definitely was not at all what was shown on website. It was awful I will not be staying there again

    Terrible

    The lady running the place was great and friendly the place is old but everything worked and it was close to the ocean and boardwalk

    If you're on a tight budget, the White Marlin is the place to go. It located near the beach. Very clean and great staff.

    Worst room I’ve ever seen… not stayed in because we did not stay. Do not stay here!! Sleep in your car before you stay in this cigarette smoke , bedbug, piss covered sheet filled shack!!! Pics are nothing like the actual place. I think if I stayed the night I would’ve caught a disease from the used belly button ring laying in the room or the disgusting yellow pillows. Oh and don’t forget you won’t get a refund despite the grossness and the fact you didn’t stay in the room longer than 2 minutes.

    Perfect

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was dirty and the beds had bugs crawling on, when I when to the staff, she thought it was okay, to sleep in a bed with bugs!!!! I asked for my money back they refused to give it back. I will be reporting them to the broad of Health. Please dont belive the pictures.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The property is run down , full of roaches FULL OF THEM , my tub sink and toilet had a bunch of hairs stuck all over it . There was blood stains on the pillow cases and pillows , THE ROACHES ALL OVER THE ROOM all sizes , the tv was broken the fridge was connected with 3 power extension’s … the ROACHES . I did not even bring any luggage in the room I knew roaches was going to get in my bags , the room smells my door had a dresser drawer handle instead of a door knob …. Just terrible I was embarrassed to stay there .
