The staff was very nice and accommodating...the stay was nice.
Close to the boardwalk. Not a great stay in terms of comfort or parking.

The place was close to the broad walk
You had your parking space , which is always good (15.00 a day)
Please is nice, just needs spiffing up
New paint , new floors, new refrigerators
New furniture , longer shower curtains
Oh… I took my own sheets , blankets and towels (always)
Very quiet , a plus
Great if you have a pet only two floors

It’s a decent motel for the price we paid last minute. I mean I wasn’t expecting to find any vacancy under $115 at least but I scrolled upon the white marlin motel and they happened to have 2 double beds available for under $100 plus they were in walking distance to the boardwalk and beach… but they do charge a refundable deposit fee i failed to notice before booking as well as a $15 parking spot. The room was a bit small and bathroom was quite small as well. There was a few uneven spots on the floor . Either way i was satisfied with my stay and happy with the outcome…

I arrived to the room and immediately noticed the overpowering smell of what seemed like Lysol and pest spray. The blanket on the bed felt like it had a film on it. The bathroom was atrocious....feces stains still in the toilet and very large dirty spots all over the mirror....much too large to give the benefit of the doubt that staff could have missed it. Finally (and worst of all), the room was not secure. When I closed the door behind me and locked it, you could see a sizable amount of daylight through the door. An average person could easily kick that door in with one attempt. At this point, I told the staff I did not need the room any more. He was extremely polite and professional and seemed to know the state of the room was unacceptable. He offered to reimburse me for the two nights. I realize the room was a very low rate, however I expect the room to at least be clean and safe for use.

It's a little cheesy motel. Not much amenities. But, did supply towels and soap shampoo. I could tell they are slowly remodeling and the young man who replaced my TV was very pleasant and polite. I think his name was Steve. If your looking for fancy room service and amenities this is NOT your place. But, if you want a clean room, with fridge a decent bed and NO bedbugs or roaches, this suits and literally a block from the beach!
The rooms were very clean. The Inn was closer than I thought to the boardwalk. Very convenient to everything we wanted to be near. We will be staying here again.

The staff was very friendly. Rooms could’ve been cleaned with a little more care by sweeping under things, when I moved the bed a little there was left over chip crumbs and dirt from other guests but the cleaner was very quick to get us a broom, bathroom was quite small and wouldn’t be suitable for a plus size person, the shower was quite small as-well and i couldn’t move around without touching the shower curtain and walls. Air conditioner worked great and the tv worked well with lots of channels. Mini fridge was included in the room. There was no microwave in the room so we had to walk to the lobby to heat everything up which was a little inconvenient.
Awesome place to stay with friends and family decent rooms little bit old building but its worth for money and staff is very supportive will go back for sure
This place is a DUMP!! WE did not even stay there. Checked in, went to our room, and then checked out immediately. Would NOT recommend this place to anyone EVER!!
Smelled musty, not as advertised....no microwave or coffee maker....wifi sucked....no front desk service after 9pm....had to check in from a different hotel....had to pay to park in parking lot ...
Room smelled like moth balls and mildew, the remote to the tv didn’t work so had to go to the front desk for help the bathroom had a window in it and you was able to see out side and inside the bathroom while using
