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!

Didn’t stay here but. It smelled like ammonia like something died or dropped a dump in the room. The bed looked all messed up and stained also the door was wide open for anyone to go in. Don’t waste your money and health on this place

If I could give zero stars, I would. I’ve worked in property management for over thirteen years, and this is by far one of the worst properties I’ve encountered. There was black mold everywhere—inside the AC units, on the walls, furniture, and in the bathrooms. The rooms were completely infested. When I tried to open the refrigerator, black mold coated my hands.
My fiancée and I approached the front desk to address the issue, but the attendant refused to cancel our booking or issue a refund. I’m now contacting my credit card company to file a formal claim, something I’ve never had to do before. In property management, we would consider the room they offered us “uninhabitable.”
For the sake of your health and the health of your family and friends, avoid this place at all costs.
