What guests think

Mariner Inn And Suites offers budget‑friendly lodging where many guests praise the friendly staff and free hot breakfast, while reviews also note aging buildings, ongoing renovations, and inconsistency in cleanliness and maintenance.

Rooms range from updated and tidy to dated or musty, with small bathrooms, thin walls, and occasional pest or odor issues. Facilities are basic: no elevators, tight parking, a simple pool, and construction or repairs visible at times. Location is a standout, right on the beach and walkable to restaurants, though some rooms are in an annex across the street and views can be obstructed by dunes. Expect a simple, convenient stay prioritized for beach access over polish.

We really enjoyed our 2 nights here! The main complaint is the parking lot. One night we came in and there was 1 spot left. It was very hard to get into the spot and was impossible to get out. Please work on your parking and maybe make the space at the pool compact car only and then encourage those cars to not park elsewhere....

The property is undergoing renovations and there were some noticeable issues with ongoing projects but the room was very nice and the staff were very accommodating. The pool was a nice escape from the ocean waves. Wish the pool had been open after dark. Overall a very nice escape and we plan on returning for another stay probably in the off-season as well as next year.

The rooms themselves were very nice - clean, roomy and pleasant to be in with good beds. Being right on the beach was great, and the place just next door has a terrific little restaurant. The breakfast wasn't special but there were nice choices. However, do know that the property is old enough to have no elevator, only stairs and laid out confusingly to get around. Also the heating/AC units are high on the wall, so I had to stand on a chair to see the controls, which was not something I can recommend for everyone! Also, the photos of 'suites' aren't really every room, so know what you are booking. A lot is nice, but just know there's a reason it's reasonably priced.

The room was dirty and smelled horrible. It was very small and cramped with very few outlets. We had to clean it ourselves the whole time we were there as there was no housekeeping. We had to put out our dirty towels and bedding and ask the office for clean and do everything ourselves. Things were broken in the room with no intent to fix. Very noisy room neighbors, could hear everything including the stomping above us at all hours. Room was in a completely seperate building across the street from the main building. The breakfast was horrible reheated frozen eggs, pancakes and biscuits. The 'convenient door locks were horrible and couldnt get in half the time. The best part about this place was that we were across the street from the beach that we didnt even get to enjoy because of the weather. (The bad Weather obviously not their fault) The staff were friendly when we actually got to interact with them as they were mostly facetiming on a tablet that you had to talk to just inside the front lobby door.

Good location, but the property needs an overhaul. The staff is friendly and helpful. Maybe bc the hotel is old, but everything felt dingy. The amount of sand on the floors is uncomfortable. I never felt safe walking around barefoot in my room. Bed was comfy. The bottom of the room door was decomposing and falling apart.

Pictures are terribly misleading and false advertising. This place should be condemned. The building was falling apart from the outside in. Water leaking and pooling all over the walkways and stairs. Dirty trays sitting under AC units and leaking all over. The beds were tiny and felt like laying on a cardboard box. The towels and sheets felt like sandpaper. Bugs in the rooms dirty laundry and trash littered outside the room. Sink cracked, shower had a bad spackle job, toilet barely flushed. No soap in dispensers, no Kleenex in container and 1 half used roll of toilet paper with brown stains on it. No batteries in remotes for tv and AC unit and tv left on upon checking in the room and AC was freezing. Forced to unplug everything from the wall. Everytime I turned around I found more issues with the stay. Would never stay here again and will be sure to let others know. They should be ashamed of themselves for the pictures they have advertising themselves it looks nothing like the accommodations we were sold.

This was not an ocean front room as advertised. I was in Room 142. It was a dune facing room however I couldn’t see the dune because the window was so dirty. Room needs to be thoroughly cleaned and refurbished. Almost every thing we touched had dirt on it. Very disappointed. Bring your own coffee and coffee maker. The cleaning staff started knocking on doors and looking in windows at 9 am. They need buy DND tags for the door. I do not recommend. I’d actually like a full refund. I would suggest hotel management training for the entire staff.

Room roof leaked, heater only worked one night, was advertised as “ocean view” but was no balcony just a giant window opening up to the main hallway so everyone could see into the bedroom when they walked past and a small view of the ocean over the pool buildings and parking lot.

We arrived near 11 PM (we had informed them of the late arrival in advance). When we got up to our room it looked like it had been cleaned, then used by someone(s) for hours after. The beds were a mess, there was trash in the trash cans, and thing were disheveled on the sink and common areas. The attached photos are how the room looked when we entered. When we went back to the front desk 10 mins later, there was no attendant and the office was locked. So we were forced to stay in the used room for $350 a night. The “ocean view” from the second floor isn’t really a view of the ocean. It’s a view of the parking lot. But you can hear the ocean.

The apartment was good and the beds were comfortable. The rooms are spacious but the bathroom is so small.

Breakfast was alright, not too many options. Staff were friendly.

No hot water for the entire stay. Management had us use shower in another suite. Would not give us compensation for the inconvenience nor move us into another suite. Water blew overnight into the room from the entrance door. We had to use towels to clean up the water. No tv remote for bedroom. There was a hole in the wall where someone had apparently opened a door too hard. We did not eat the breakfast because we chose not to walk across the street during the bad weather.

It started really bad with a bad desk associate. Having to wait until 3 to check in someone else was there and he said she had only 2 days left to work. Others also told me she was rude to them. After that it went great. I had a problem with a snell of dope coming in our room and others also complained. The one girl moved us into a different room and had been aware of the situation earlier. She was wonderful. I would stay there again and it was all good towards the end. I can’t blame the place on 1 persons rudeness. Everyone else was very accommodating

We had to ask the clerk questions anyways so kind of a waste of time. Then we got our room number and it was 504. We went outside and there were 2 buildings with 3 stories, no 5. We went back inside and were told we were in a building across the street! That would have been nice to know.

Decent experience- mostly because of the Atlantic ocean, no elevator though, but at least we were one of the few rooms that actually had an ocean view. Breakfast was sub-par - not sure what was in the "egg-things." Also the woman on duty would not let a service dog into the eating area - she had no clue as to the laws of the United States.

Overall it was a good stay. I like that the beach access is just steps away from the rooms. It’s also close to many shops and restaurants. Parking is tight so adding a larger parking area just pickup trucks and larger vehicles would be nice. Additionally, it would be nice to have clothing wracks/hooks outside each room to hang wet towels and bathing suits.

Liked that we were very close to the beach and restaurants. The breakfast was fine, had eggs, but pretty basic and repetitive. They arnt too good at refilling up syrup or certain other items. The room was okay but the bathroom had a lot of renovations that was not covered so it seemed off. Seemed clean by there were clothes in a drawer so not sure. Some of the Furnature was damaged. Cable tv annoying to use. In short wasn’t an amazing experience but good with a breakfast and convenient location. I’d probably try a different hotel in the future but not against coming back either for the right price. It was more affordable.

Only complaint would be parking, parking lot is pretty tight and doesn’t help that some people wanna park that don’t have a room. Would suggest parking passes and enforcing towing

The coffee came out of a machine the eggs were like rubber maybe like other hotels they were powder?? The roomed smelled musty and the floor was dirty. In much need of updates but if you need place to sleep it is just fine. We only needed one night.
