Guest Reviews

• Wanda (10/5): - I had a room on the second floor. The elevator was great because I am handicapped and I had a great view. I will definitely come back.
• Kahliah (6/5): - very dirty and crusty
• Luis Enrique (2/5): - Bad service, very rude reception staff. They should have been more friendly. They charged me an additional fee and didn't give me a receipt. In short, a bad experience
• James (8/5): - Not having a cart to unload or to reload the car
• Elizabeth (6/5): - I liked the proximity to the beach. The AC worked well. The water flow in the bathroom sink was slow. I won't criticize the housekeeping staffperson who was on duty when we arrived and working on Monday because she is elderly and a strong language barrier exists. She clearly wanted to give good service. Perhaps I assumed there would be clean towels brought daily but that wasn't included in the services. She came and changed the bed linens very quickly the day we asked. We would stay there again.
• Phil (6/5): - Room barely acceptable. Door had been kicked and bent and had a gap that a snake or bugs could get in. Very poor state of repair. The toilet paper holder was hanging off the wall. Beds so squeaky hard to sleep. Tv remotes.. yes one that changed volume and the other to change channels. barely worked if you got up and got within 5 ft of the tv. No cleaning services, as would be expected in any hotel. We had to go to the office to get fresh towels. We asked about someone cleaning the room and they literally handed my wife a broom. For 180 a night we certainly expected more. They did have a kitchenette but no pots and pans.
• Darryl (2/5): - The owners and management are very nasty but everything else was ok
• Darren (2/5): - The hair dryer was cracked, there was a dead roach in the room
• Amy (4/5): - We had a non-smoking room and there were cigarette burns in the blankets on our beds. We had to ask for extra blankets and complained about the noise level. The refrigerator door didn’t have a handle. We got the kitchenette but there were no pans. The sheets on the beds were dirty. The kitchen was dirty and the lamps were filthy.
• Shareese (6/5): Great location and price but take lysol - Hotel location and size was ideal. Great pool and family business and they provide delicious juice, water, however the rooms were not very clean and the older family member threatened to call the police because my 5yr old granddaughter tried to go to their pool after we checked out and were packing our vehicles.
• vahudin (2/5): - Nothing, very dirty
• Alfonzo (10/5): - It was a great stay. Rooms were nice and clean.
• Verified traveler (4/5): DON'T - Didn't recieve the room i paid for. Smelly room. 5 of us and 2 towels. Asked for towels told me to come back at 9am. SMH. Parking so tight cars block each other in. There 4 days no one bothered to clean our room. Good luck if you stay here.
• Lauren (6/5): - There was not enough parking spaces for all of the people staying at the hotel, not enough towels for all the guests I had in the room ready for me.
• LEAH (10/5): - Very comfy beds and just a block to the boardwalk! Also shaded parking. Would recommend!
• Leslie (6/5): - Na
• Jennifer (8/5): - Managers were gracious with parking! Extra towels were provided when asked. Room was clean and safe, close walking to the beach.
• Jimmy (6/5): - Poor atmosphere overall. Located right next to main strip . Excessive noise throughout the night to include cars racing up and down the street. Staff was less than accommodating after calling me to ask what time I would be arriving, which I found very odd. Would not recommend staying here to anyone. Beds are uncomfortable, noise is excessive and rooms are extremely small. We will not be staying here again. Waste of money , just for an overnight stay . Very disappointed
• Alexis (10/5): - Had to book this place last minute after an emergency occurred at our previous hotel. I have nothing but good things to say about this place! Conveniently located near the beach, the rooms were clean, the staff was super sweet and we felt very safe staying here. Traveled with my family. 10/10 would recommend.
• Dain (10/5): - Great property had a nice day
• Brittany (2/5): - Will never stay here again. Horrible place to stay.
• Deon (6/5): - Was good
• Jeremy (10/5): - They where nice. Excellent staff. And great area right on the strip! Excellent stay
• John (8/5): - It was good
• Dontae (6/5): - Hair in the shower when I checked in and hair in the beds and just unclean
• Santonio (8/5): - Heater unit leaked while on
• Sunil (2/5): - The bathroom and bathtub was very dirty. The towels were not properly kept on the shelves. There was some pieces of food on the bed. The carpet is very very dirty. There was dust and stains all over the tables, and chair. It seems the room was never vacuumed and cleaned. Overall not satisfied.
• William (8/5): - No trash can, toilet ran all night and didnt flush. Tub didnt drain, horrible water pressure. Bed had sheets and a tiny bed spread, no blanket.. Fair price, but otherwise not a good stay!
• Joan (10/5): - I loved the balcony and I was able to look at the ocean, a block and a half away. It was absolutely beautiful
• Emanuel (2/5): - Dirty room , small parking and non smoking room had a strong smell of cigarettes and drugs.. From 3 days stay i only stay 1 night.
• Stephanie (10/5): - Stayed a month. Enjoyed my stay. Highly recommend.
• Christina (10/5): - Nice place for the price!
• Brittany (2/5): - I was bitten by a spider in the bed and still not have been back.
• Peerasak (8/5): - Goog
• Stephanie (2/5): - This was one of the worst hotels that ever been to it the bathtub didn't work and it was it was horrible it was it was just horrible it was it was it was dirty and the people that were at the front desk they were not friendly at all they acted like they had so much other things to do it wasn't good it just wasn't good I think I wasted my money
• Guy (2/5): - Excrement! Whoever including The City of Virginia Beach is irresponsible for allowing this property to remain open for business. It is the filithiest structure I've ever entered in my 60 year lifetime. It's obvious this property has managed to avoid inspection and being shutdown. In addition, this property charges an additonal $10.00 per night surchange in addition to the room rate for what they describe as "PROPERTY FEE". Per Live Chat with Expedia Rep., I was told it's a "RESORT FEE"! What was an Expedia advertised $51/night rate including taxes and fees turned into my account being an equivalent of $65/night. I am now staying at the Howard Johnson's Wyndham Hotel on Virginia Beach, VA Oceanfront. The rate after taxes and fees is $51/night less the excrement, discourteous staff, and unsafe loud noisy and smoked filled environment! Burned once not twice. Bye bye BLUE MARLIN.
• Greg (10/5): - Get what you payfor
• Randy (4/5): - Mold in the bathroom paint falling off ceiling hair on floor.
• Ryan (6/5): - The staff was very accommodating. Boardwalk wasn’t far if you’re looking for amazing food.
• Mckenzy (6/5): - It was a very nice stay for a short stay I will say I was unimpressed with how the bathroom cleaning was and headboards of beds but otherwise everything looked ok and another thing the blankets on the bed were so thin it was like a sheet then a comforter
• carlos (4/5): - the good thing that it was close to the beach
• Nguyen (6/5): - The price is expensive in comparing with the quality of room and service
• Megan (2/5): - Dirty bed, shower, brown water from sink
• Wesley (8/5): - Parking was bad not enough space
• Casie (2/5): - Bed is hard as a rock. Room smelled like death. Whole property smells bad.
• nelida (2/5): - Dirty
• Kyra (4/5): - The plumbing is terrible, tub and sink hardly drain. Front desk was not personable and made no sense when talking. Beds hard as a rock.
• Miriam (2/5): - Dirty. Towels were dirty and had hair on them. Filth on floors. Beds were super hard. No extra blankets. I’ve stayed at some terrible places and this goes down at #2 worst.
• ROBERT (8/5): - transients gathering on edge of property next door
• Miriam (2/5): - Towels were dirty and had hair on them. Lights didnt work. Tub stained. Beds hard as rocks. I’ve stayed at some bad places and this one is up there. NOT worth the price - even for location.
• Joan (10/5): Phenomenal - It was awesome! The room was clean and nice. The beach is less than a block away. The service reception is excellent. I will definitely return next year. I highly recommend it.
• FNU (10/5): - It's was really good trip and service
• Verified traveler (2/5): - landlady and landlord was not helpful. the room is filthy.
• John (2/5): - What!
• Samantha (10/5): - Suprisingly i enjoyed my stay i aczually was able to see the ocean from outsude my door standing on the balcany, the owners were very pleasant and nice and i had my own private parking in the parking lot inside underneath the hotel wich was safe quiet room and pretty awesome
• Alexandria (2/5): - The management and maintenance man were very sweet.
• Joseph (10/5): - all good
• Thomas (4/5): - The Hotel is actually a motel, outdated and run down. We spent only one night there and moved to a different hotel. I wouldn't ever stay there again.
• Roberto (2/5): - Ugly dirty,bad service
• Carlos Jimenez (6/5): - Ok
• Makayla (8/5): - A nice adorable place to just take a getaway. But definitely could use a better cleaning after walking on the floor your feet will be brown 😞 and the ac did not work and no one was in the office to reach them but other than that we did enjoy it
• Kristopher (2/5): - Complete filth, and the room we stayed in (311) didn't have wifi at all.
• Warren (10/5): - I enjoyed the owner being Hands-On and the property was much more than I expected.
• CURTIS (8/5): - Location, value
• Carrie (8/5): - Outdated, but I’ve stayed in worse. Not the cleanest, but not especially UN clean either. Here for the marathon, so it is acceptable, but I wouldn’t choose to stay here during a longer vacation.
• Peter (10/5): - The staff is fantastic; super easy to work with, pleasant, professional and accommodating. I’ve checked in late, left early, checked in early, left late, because my business requires it. The Blue Marlin staff works with these constraints superbly.
• Peter (10/5): - While the physical aspect of the property is wonderful, it’s the owner and her staff that really light this place up. They bring a beautiful family like atmosphere to the hotel.
• RALPH (8/5): - Inexpensive
• Cornell (2/5): - The room was out dated the sheets had a yellow stain and hair on one bed and you had to get up right next to the TV to operate it.and the room smelled badly.
• Julieta (6/5): - When I go to the office and ask about internet service the man who was in charge he answered me like mad and bad attitude the room had patches where they were repaired and it was not finished and the tv didn’t work the elevator looks like long time not been cleaned
• Shahram (2/5): - poor property condition, loud area, not clean
• JUANITA (4/5): Dirty Motel - Only 1 person at the check in desk. No parking available, the desk attended ask us to double park. The room was no clean and toilet wasnt working. We observed the porter also dose the housekeeping. The floor in the rooms look as they haven't been cleaned all summer. A/C air conditioning had a musty smell. Pretty sure the filter has ever been replaced. You get what you pay for. Location is good, this motel should be reported to the health inspector
• Nicholas (2/5): - There was mold all over the bathroom shower and none of the locks worked
• Suzanne (2/5): - Upon arrival, we had to go look for someone to check us in. When we got to our rooms they were filthy, there was some long black hair on the bathroom shower wall. Our room was NEVER cleaned during our stay. We ran out of toilet paper. We had a room with 4 people booked in advance and they got 2 towels. You couldn't tell who worked there because they didn't even have shirts identifying themselves. We will NEVER go back there no matter how much money we save. It's not worth it. I even paid more than twice what i did 2 weeks prior at a Wyndham in Orlando!
• Tim (4/5): - I’ve stayed here a few times. It’s a block from the beach which is nice. BUT, the quoted price on Expedia is not the price you pay. I paid over $300 more than what was quoted. At the desk, I was told that I got “a big room”, “one of the best rooms” with a view of the ocean. The latter was true, but going back to my earlier statement, I’ve been there a few times. Every room in the “outbuilding” is exactly the same. Housekeeping is non existent, and when I asked for turndown, I was told to go find the housekeeper myself. I booked The Blue Marlin only because I had stayed there before and it was familiar and somewhat centrally located. But the next time I spend $300 more, it’ll be somewhere else.
• Lashawn (2/5): - We never want to stay there again couldn't sleep it smelled it had water bugs the bathroom was horrible the microwave and the mini fridge was dirty. My family and i never slept we sit up all night and never turned the lights off if u think I'm lying i have pictures to prove it I wish we can get our money back cause that place ain't right at all they need to remodel it or something
• Lisa (2/5): - The room was nothing like the pictures. The tub was disgusting, the clothing bar was out of the wall and couldn’t be utilized, there was water all over the floor, door didn’t shut right, not to mention there were homeless people camped out next to where you park your car. Needless to say we did NOT stay there.
• Kevin (10/5): - Great deal!! Great ownership/management.
• Virgilio (10/5): - The manager Teresita at the front desk was a great manager. I saw her how she managed and fair to her guess. She takes action and care for her customers. She gave us parking doing back to back for both car to accommodate us and showed care for her guest. I also seem her to call towing company just to give parking for the guess which mean she care for the customers great stayed thanks Teresita
• John (8/5): - The room was very clean, the staff was helpfull with anything we needed
• Michellela (2/5): - HORRIBLE!! Dirty everywhere, sheets, walls, amenities, floor. Trash on floor and in the drawers. Room smelled very old and filthy. This was the first room? Now the second room was the same way but it smelled better and there was a large hole in bathroom door. Hair in the sink. The guy that checked me in was rude and kept tossing the keys on the counter to me and was being rude because asked for a refund which he denied because his property was disgusting. He told me that no one else complains and I told him that I live like this at home so I’m not comfortable. I didn’t even stay in the room. I left after an hour of checking in. I just couldn’t lay down. This place is ran down, old, dirty. Do not book this place.
• Dulce (4/5): Won’t be back - Majority of the electrical outlets were loose and could push into the wall- a major fire hazard. Prayed the room would not catch on fire while I slept. Broken shower rod and toilet paper dispenser and tried to be cheaply fixed. Towels were water thin. Hotel is better off telling guests to provide their own sheets and towels. Staff at check in was rude. I would not stay here again.
• barbara (2/5): Filthy room - not returning here - If you like a filthy room, plaster peeling off the ceiling and paint chips from the wall falling on the floor which they don’t bother sweeping up before you get there and rusty bathroom light fixtures, a bathroom ceiling fan that has more hair on it than you do on your head, and uncomfortable beds, then this is the place for you.
• elva (4/5): - The property is called the Blue Marlin Hotel. The listing and the pics were beyond misleading. Not a place I would’ve brought my children to.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The service was fine but the rooms need major updating. I requested a non-smoking room and it smelled like it was all smoking. Moldy and musty smell... showers could use a good disinfectant cleaning, mold remover from the tiles, sweeping is needed, under the bed was dirty, walls looked abused and dirty... well... last time i will stay there.
• Antoinette (2/5): Not Safe - Check 8n was ok, very frendly. Room was stocjed & clean BYT on way to get to room There's an alley that is pitch black only 1 way in & out because other side is fenced off it was very scary anyone could've been hiding there waiting to attack...elevator tok forever so had to use stairs & my dor to room didnt lock all the way... i ended up checkng out after pnly 2 hours because i didn't feel safe at all.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - You are not going to get better for the price point. You will not be dissapointed. The bathrooms are more recently remodeled, the place was clean and kept up to date through the years. Stay in they tower, which is approximately 5 stories, you can see the ocean from the third floor. Lastly, you are one small block from the boardwalk and ocean.
• Laura (10/5): - I loved everything about my stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Price for location is amazing. I plan to go back.
• Brady (10/5): - Excellent location.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Don’t do it. - First room wasn’t clean. Next room, the shower on the 4th floor didn’t drain well at all. There were lots of bugs. Needs a better cleaning but for $65 dollars, not sure I could expect much more.
• Chaz (2/5): Bad bad bad - It was bad and they went in my room and took money
• Rachel (2/5): - For starters, the front desk attendant is a complete scam artist who will try to upsale you on anything. He barely speaks English and you can’t understand a word he says. Even though I had already paid for my room through Expedia, he charged me an additional fee, double from what he tried to upsell me on in the first place. When we got to our room, that was claimed to have an “ocean view” we soon found out that our view was of nothing but an ugly rooftop of the building next to it…we certainly could not “see de ocean” the entire floor smelled like straight marijuana, and the floor was never vacuumed. The beds were rock hard with filthy linens. The comforter or bed spread was nothing but a thin piece of fabric, there’s no coffee maker in the room and the noise is terrible. We could hear everything going on in the building. Parking is terrible, guests were double parked. And finally, we had COCKROACHES in our room! When we lifted the mattress up, because anyone with common sense knows cockroaches come for food, we found old Chinese food under the bed! Absolutely disgusted. When we went back to the front desk to notify them of the disaster in our room there was no one to be found. The door was locked with a small bucket sitting out front that said, “return room key here”…for anyone to just grab. Obviously they do not have 24 hour service. There’s so much more to the rest of this review but since my words are limited, all I can say is SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN and remove the listing.
• Sheron (10/5): - Great location but TV didn’t always work
• Tabatha (2/5): - The only thing about this property that I liked was the location. The beds are horrible, you can see through the door, bath tub was clogged up, had to ask for towels. The rooms really need to be upgraded. This place charges for kids and they always walking around and staring at you like you gonna steal something. The parking is horrible as well. Definitely will be my last stay there.
• John (2/5): - I was not impressed that the property charged my card for the full amount after expedia already collected the fee. Disappointed in expedia for their non response to questioning the fee. The place is a dump, and if I wanted to pat $225 for one night, I would have stayed in a beachfront hotel 1 block away. Will never stay at this property again and have serious reservations about expedia costomer service.
• Haroon (2/5): - It is India own property and they are horrible. Supper dirty and rude customer service
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The beds are so hard it was so uncomfortable that i stayed the night in my car could not sleep in the bed
• George (6/5): - It was in decent area restaurants close . Room smelled of fish. Beds and bathroom clean. Had door lock issues they were fixed promptly. But would only recommend if in a pinch for a room
• Jagat Jit (4/5): - We had two kids and we asked for no smoking room. I got a room on 3rd floor with cigarette butt on 3rd floor even in front of our room. The room was not clean especially bathroom. There was a pungent smell in the room. One good thing was location. Very near to beach and boardwalk.
• Eugenia (10/5): Love This Place!!! - Room was really clean and everyone who worked there were very nice and helpful
