This place should be torn down and rebuilt. When I checked in I had to wait and then the guy checked us in while eating. Go to the room and there were stains on the covers. Towels were off white and still dirty. Roaches were crawling in the tub. Water bugs. This place is deplorable. DO NOT STAY HERE. The pictures are FALSE ADVERTISING

Dirty stained sheets, no deadbolt on the door, commode constantly running, no toiletries towels or toilet paper, hairs in the tub and on the floor and it had obviously not been cleaned or serviced. The pictures of the hotel on the internet are beautiful and deceiving. Hotel is extremely overpriced for the quality. Chose not to stay at the hotel…unsafe!!

Disliked: Cleanliness

Its a non smoking room but it did smell like smoke. There were some cleanliness issues. Found a dirty towel folded up as clean in the bathroom. The others didn't really inspire that much confidence either. The bed had either sand or like crumbs under the main sheet ( had to shake the bed clean. Not sure what it was. The door chain is broken. The door doesn't lock on its own you have to press the button for it to lock if not you're doors will remain unlocked. Besides that the room was fine. To be honest for the price I paid it was much better than another I stayed for almost $370 and to an extent the room was in a better condition.

I’m not one much to complain, but I just drove 12 hours all I need was a few hours of sleep. I asked to see if I can check in early. I couldn’t. I came back at three and there was still noise from construction happening in the building 8 o’clock and there’s still noise and I still have seven more hours to drive. I think coming from the hospitality industry after 3 o’clock check in there should be no construction going on.

Horrible Staff

Horrible, I had to wait for 60-90 minutes for them to put a knob on the door which was a deadbolt. They never gave me a key. So I never slept my first day. Then instead of changing the room the staff tried to create an argument and put me out of the hotel. But lucky I recored the entire situation once he seen it was being recorded he gave me service. I would never recommend this stay to a fly

White Marlin Inn? More like BED BUG INN

This place is DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING!! The room and bathroom itself had NOT been cleaned at all, the ironing board LEFT out, NOTHING was washed, it looks as though someone had thrown a clean pillow case OVER the dirty one, the REFRIGERATOR and MICROWAVE weren’t even CLEAN, the bathroom door was falling apart, the quilt on the bed had holes BURNT in it! There was even some lady’s sundress left IN THE DRAWER and the lamp only had ONE LIGHT BULB. To make matters worse, I woke up the next morning to BED BUG bites on my arm!! I had booked for two nights, stayed ONLY 1!! This place needs to be removed from ALL booking sites ASAP. I want a FULL REFUND!
