White Marlin Inn (Formerly Sun Tan Motel)

Worse hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Only positives is it’s close to oceans calling and it has a great balcony to look over and people watch. That’s the only two things positive I can say, I guess also off street parking.
Now on to the utter dumpster fire that is the White marlin inn.
As a hotel, they scammed us by pretending they canceled our room when we showed up and refused to give us the price we reserved it for months before. What were we to do as the event is happening the next day? Somehow they actually still had a room available? But for an extra $200 dollars or so.
The rooms….scratchy sheets. The bathroom faucet was actually peeling off.
Absolutely the most disgusting and run down terrible awful place run by people who don’t give two hoots about the people staying there…just trying to make an extra few bucks.
Stay away. Try booking anywhere else if you can, but who knows if they’ll even honor your booking if you actually have to book here?

I didnt even get past the booking process on booking.com and 2 days later they pull out a prepayment to validate my card and they haven't even got back to me on my request for a first floor room for my disabled husband.i tried calling the property for a week straight no answer. I canceled my booking and now im fighting to get a prepayment put back on my card, even customer service through booking.com cant reach them. If I were you I wouldn't step foot on that property, for they are so unprofessional and care nothing of their customers. They are con artists, and definitely not interested in the welfare of the customers, which is very dumb on their part because its your customers who keep your business running.

The reviews for 1 stars are incredibly accurate. We booked through Hot Wire. Cheapest of options close to the festival. Makes sense for those not spending time in the room & on a budget. However, this tops my list of worst hotel room experiences. They do really do exist! Long story short, Hot Wire took care of the refund for one night plus fees and additional expenses. The hotel desk will not provide refunds & are not available over night. Go through the 3rd party to get your money back they will call the hotel for you.
