Blue Marlin Motel

So this was my first time staying at the Blue Marlin. I originally chose another hotel, but I needed to extend my stay, and this was the only reasonably priced place for my budget. I must say I was a little skeptical especially when it comes to cleanliness and safety. But this place exceeded my expectations. When I got there, it was late. The Staff seemed a little confused about what room I selected online. But it was quickly resolved and the process was fairly easy. When I got to the room, it was very clean and it did look newly renovated so much so I didn’t notice that there was a decorative mold that was missing over one of the beds and it looked like it was replaced with some type of paper plate or decoration that was odd and needs to be fixed. Also above the microwave there was a lightbulb missing in the fixture. The sink in the kitchenette only ran water with the handle on the right. It did have a two burner stove counter top flat, but there were no dishes to use so you would have to bring your own. I would not recommend the face clothes because it looked white but when I held it up to the light you could see just how dirty it really was. They may need to throw them away and get new ones.The TV was in an awkward place to watch. But I figured when you come to the beach most people probably don’t even watch the TV.. but overall it was very quiet, in a pretty decent location right next to a restaurant calledCP Shuckers. (if you go there, I recommend the shrimp basket.)

It's a very nice and clean place to stay.

I arrived around midnight because I got off work late and had a 2 1/2 hr drive. I hardly get a weekend day off. I rang the office bell twice and then finally after calling the number on the door someone answered. The sheets were not clean, on either bed. Shower was dirty, and no towels other than hand towels, so if you plan to stay here bring your own. As well as blankets and sheets because the sheets were stained and pubic hair on them. Also the blanket itself was thin, so I slept on top of it, barely. There was blood on the bathroom door, sand all throughout the bathroom floor, shower and room floor. Also check out time being 11AM does not apply apparently. I had housekeeping already knocking on my door at 9:45 AM and then a call from the manager at 10:30AM saying I need to leave. I would definitely not recommend staying here, spend the extra money on a nicer room somewhere else instead. Usually don’t even like leaving bad reviews but this was probably the worst experience I’ve ever had.

It was super close to the beach. The room served it's purpose for sleep and shower. Our room had a VERY strong urine odor. The faucet im the bathroom did not I bought cleaning supplies and scrubbed the bathroom floors, tub and toliet myself. I always bring my own sheets and im glad I did.

The room smelled horrible, even after they sprayed it twice. The bathroom was dirty, the bathtub was stained and the water wouldn’t drain. The towels were all old and every single one had stains, as did the bed sheets. Absolutely nothing good to say about this place, except that it was one block from the beach.
