Life Saver Due to a series of unfortunate events i found myself in an area i wasn't familiar with yet. At 2 am, of course it was raining and I have stormed off from my previous situation ...(that's a long different story). But I digress, I walked by this place with a vacancy sign. And being i was soaked from being outside in the rain for 2 hours. He looked at me a little confused at first but in my distress I didn't realize he was trying to translate my fuckwit to English he's some how understands me and I get rescued. I got a room and started doing what I needed to not be sick or worse. The heat worked! I saw no bugs! And for travelers who don't use prevent pesticides look it up its a life changer. You can't predict what you'll run into but you can be proactive and knowledgeable. The beds were decent, pillows were a little soft but as a single traveler I used the pillows from the other bed. Decor is definitely outdated bachelor best friend place. Fridge with freezer and microwave i used the fridge not the microwave. Matenenice was definitely required in the bathroom and walls but as was not that disrupted by it and it was clear it just needed some attention. I was also lucky enough that he gave me a smoking room but there were no signs saying as such but there weren't any no smoking signs. So when I looked around for an ashtray (usually available) , not one spotted so I smoked outside. In the morning the manager came up and I grabbed another day so I could do what I had to do, probably should have just did 2 just to be safe. Oh well, as the day progressed I did observe the atmosphere as it seemed to be a in a busy area with some nice travlers and locals. There was some riffraff about but nothing to outrageous no police. The man was diligently doing upkeep in other rooms (painting for sure) from what I witnessed he also did everything else at the lobby. The women that screams at the guest I luckily had no inactions with. But if it makes you feel any better she was screaming at the man at some point in the day, so I think she has this interaction with everyone. Everyone has met was lovely and help even when being woken up in the middle of the night. I was also a little bummed when I looked up the online and the deals at the same place where considerably discounted and i wish I had time to look at them before rebooking. I did get a discount the first night. And I only stayed for half of the day the next day because I was making my way home. But I hope it helps renovations as this place saved me and the price was still cheaper comparatively. I was lucky to...
Read moreVacations are about the experience, and this place is an experience you won't forget. Located only two blocks from the beach, this shack should have been demolished forty years ago. Upon arriving here at a perfectly decent hour, don't except to be checked in easily as the lobby door is locked and the seemingly sole employee is nowhere to be found. Once you are finally able to locate her, you will be rewarded with exactly one key. One physical key. In case you're not getting this, there are absolutely no keycards and you only get ONE PHYSICAL KEY. If you're not excited yet, let me tell you there is so much more! On your way to the room you will be greeted by a rather large, yet seemingly friendly, cockroach and a puddle of puke in the parking lot that will be there for the entire duration of your stay. I would say stepping into the room is like traveling back in time, but it's a bit more like walking in on your grandmother showering: highly disturbing, but you know you'll have to live with it. Now I will say the beds are actually surprisingly acceptable, but this won't make up for the rest of what you'll soon discover. From the sink in the bathroom that just fills with water and slowly leaks onto the floor below, from the shower head that feels like it's the ceiling that actually needs cleaned, to the smoke detector that constantly beeps through the night because the batteries haven't been replaced since 1984, to the dangerous wiring that has yet to burn down the place. Save your money on going to the horror house, and just stay in the room. The mustiness and smell of death will provide you with all the thrills and chills you'll ever want. Be prepared to be disturbed by housekeeping banging on your door at multiple times since there's no way to indicate that you don't want to be disturbed. Your stay will also include a blaring concert, provided from the vehicle of the lobby attendant. And if you are to need anything, absolutely ask for it; you will get it with only a great amount of rudeness. Your stay at the dumpster fire known as White Marlin Inn will be one you'll never forget. I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for an experience of a lifetime that will forever haunt your waking dreams. ||||TL;DR: The White Marlin Inn is an absolutely unforgettable experience filled with...
