White Marlin Inn (Formerly Sun Tan Motel)

The room we booked said queen deluxe. We checked in and our room was a box. We only had a double bed, the electric outlets were not secure in the walls, the dresser was all broke up, our "t.v" was a computer moniter, the room was dirty and the balcony didnt feel safe and we kept seeing little ants in our room. When we confronted the front desk he said "all beds the same". And we were not allowed a refund. I had to call priceline and they only offered a one night refund. Parking was NOT free. We had to pay $15 a night for parking. I do not recommend this place to stay and not the sea breeze inn either because they are run by the same people.

We were down for my son’s lacrosse tournament and booked this motel weeks in advanced. Don’t let the pictures deceive you! This was hands down the worst place I have ever stayed in! We checked in around 9:30 PM and by midnight, I was booking a new hotel for the next morning check in. I tried to cancel for the next day, but with their 24-hour cancellation policy, it was too late. The money loss was much worth it! Also, regarding check in, the “office” looks more like a storage unit & you have to walk to the motel Nextdoor to get checked in.

I felt dirtier when I woke up that morning, than I did the night before and I refused to get a shower in that place without flip flops on at least. The shower was dirty and sticky. The bathroom is so small, you have to practically cram yourself against the wall to even open the door to get in. The bathroom door has a large gap, so you can forget any sense of privacy…

The floor was dirty and sticky, the bedding was sticky, we had to hang a blanket we had in the car on the window, because our blinds were so busted if anyone walked by, they could clearly see inside your room.

The front “door” (if that’s what you call a piece of plywood with a door handle) was so flimsy and had a good gap in between, so forget any sense of security!

Also, you can forget trying to charge your phone, or plug anything in… all the plugs were so loose and wouldn’t hold anything in.

TV? Forget that also! WiFi wouldn’t work, and no WiFi password was provided in the room. Tried calling the front desk & couldn’t get ahold of anyone.

Hot water? Forget that too! And don’t forget to stop into the convenience store behind the motel, because there is no ice on site… you do get a mini fridge though…

Considering the reason we were in the area, we didn’t expect a 5-star place to rest our heads, but there was no resting this night at this motel. My fiancee got to a point of exhaustion, in order to try and get a minute of sleep, went to sleep inside our car.

If you think you’re getting what you’ve paid for here, you will be sadly mistaken!

Booked a room here for last week of off season before summer. So far I am pleasantly surprised in all categories. Location is a quarter block off the boardwalk and from the beach, plenty of parking, safe area. Now to the rooms. I was told new owners are doing there best to make stays the best they can for their guests. My room was within weeks recently redone. New flooring, beds, bathroom fixtures, nice big mini 2 door fridge and freezer. Staff have all been more than friendly and helpful. I just ran into the manager coming back to my room and he didn't say leave us a good review- he asked me and wanted to know how my stay was so far so if I had any problems he could fix them. But I had no problems whatsoever told him I loved remodeled rooms bathrooms and was enjoying my stay. I see a bright future for the old Sun Tan Inn- oh forgive me I mean the New White Marlin Inn!
