“Will not be returning to the Blue Marlin”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I picked to stay at the Blue Marlin because It is a very family friendly hotel and although the rooms were clean and the staff was pleasant, The NOISE level was INSANE !!! This is by far the LOUDEST place I have stayed in Wildwood. I figured that the noise would die down as it got later into the evening since mlost guests seem to be families with young kidsbut that was not the case. I understand that it is Vacation but children yelling outside my room at 12AM and then again as early as 5AM !!! And from what I am told, Alot of these "Noisy" guests are regulars. The pool was Okay, Very small and there is not much around as far as Eateries, but there is PLENTY of LOUD Working/Construction/Garbage trucks at 4AM....!!! If you want a Quiter Hotel, Stay elsewhere !!

“The Blue Marlin is "HOME"”

I have been going to the Blue Marlin for 43 years and never want to go anywhere else!
It's just like home and Linda and Charlie are the BEST! The rooms are cleaned by the best cleaning staff anywhere and the location to everything can't be beat. Just steps to the best beach in the world.

Someday I will go there and never leave! That is how great it is at the Blue Marlin!

Great family motel and a beautiful, clean pool. Very close to the beach and 2 grills to cook on.

“Great stay - home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Traveled with a family of 5 (our three children ages from 15 to 24). If you need new and fancy, don't bother. If you want a home away from home with great and friendly owners and employees (Linda is a really great person!) you will find it at the Blue Marlin. If you want to hang out at the Boardwalk, it a little far for a walk but with this coastal barrier being 5 miles long, you really are close enough to everything! The rooms are dated but clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that Linda insisted that her staff clean and make-up the room at least every other day. And so it was... cleaned, vacuumed, new towels, beds made tight etc.... I guess you really can't consider that to be a negative but this is the only thing that strayed from us feeling at home. If we make it to Wildwood again, we'll be staying at the Blue Marlin!
