Please stay away from this hotel! I basically booked it because of the price-but when you hear "you get what you pay for" -it is totally true in this case! Very dirty-handprints on the walls/doors, nasty carpet, hotel has bad smell and rooms too. Get this-we had one towel in our room and when we went downstairs to ask for... more

This Hotel looks great in the pictures, that is why we booked it. We got there the place was empty and dark. The hallways had carpet that was spongy and stained. The room looked a porno gone bad, furniture stained, sat on the couch and staples were revealed. Furniture stained, A/C not working and the rooms are dark. I called... more

Don't ever stay here. I have at a hostel in France and had a better stay then this place. First off it's a welfare motel. There were people that were staying at the Marlin for extended stays, meaning they lived there. There isn't even a front desk; there is a table, a chair, and a computer. We changed rooms twice,... more

On entering the hotel the carpets were filthy, bins in the room hadn’t been emptied from the previous guests, paint was peeling from the ceilings, the bathrooms hadn’t been cleaned, the beds and bedding was disgusting and to complete matters something of approximately, 1½ inches in length, silver, four legs and a tail crawled across the pillow. Once I saw... more

This hotel is extremely dirty, outdated, and was very smelly. There was no one at the front desk to check me in, the elevator was broken (I was assigned a room on the 3rd floor) and there is no parking on site, you have to park in meters and/or in a parking lot 2 blocks away. My room had dirty... more

Do not believe any of the websites that advertise this hotel. It may have been OK 50 years ago, but it has not been cleaned or taken care of since. We never complain about hotels as our needs are pretty basic, however, this hotel was absolutely the worst hotel we've ever seen. 1) The hotel and rooms are very dirty... more

Please, please, please do not book this hotel if you value even the lowest standards of cleanliness or safety. I arrived to find a hotel that was nothing like the pictures or description on Orbitz.com. I really am shocked at the discrepancy between reality and marketing. There was no check-in desk, just 2 sleazy men sitting at a glass table... more

TRAVELERS BEWARE! I would like to start by saying as the poster child for what could possible go wrong on a vacation will, my stay at this hotel was nothing short of travesty, even for me. The Marlin Hotel's website and Expedia's advertisement for this hotel is nothing like the reality that is this hotel. Maybe the photos of the... more

This hotel does NOT honor reservations. They do not honor pre-payments or deposits. Feel free to try to go but just have a good backup plan in place because we are not the first guests to be turned away after pre-paying for our stay. They are dishonest and not to be trusted. On top of everything else - it's not... more

We made a reservation and paid them over a month ago for our honeymoon. Upon arrival we were informed that our room had been "red flagged" and that they couldnt allow anyone to stay in it. They put us up in a 2 star hotel down the road and our room was about 200 s.f.. We called our booking company... more
