We stayed at the Blue Marlin twice in the past, when it was owned by a different family. Back then it was kitschy but comfortable and friendly. Now it has new owners and they have cut everything to the bone. The rooms are recently renovated and clean, have the usual amenities including an iron and ironing board but...NO HANGERS OR... More

Upon arrival we went to the office and processed our paperwork. We had made the arrangements through cheaptickets.com. We were given a key card and we proceeded to our room. When we opened the door we were greeted by two unmade beds and empty beer and wine cooler bottles strewn about the room. We went right back to the office... More

This review will probably echo many others. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by a big pile of broken furniture in the parking lot. The reception room smelled strongly of food. After checking in, I was directed to a covered parking area, similarly cluttered with furniture and toilet boxes. While the room had been newly decorated, it appeared that the... More

For the price and the location, it wasn't too terrible. BUT - the Wifi wasn't working, only left one roll of toilet paper,No maid daily service; no ice maker; electricity went off twice in the morning. Pool was outside; karaoke party across the street - very lound!!! However, the room was recently updated...quite nice. No closets, either.

The room was clean and odor-free. Good location, close to beach and restaurants. Had to park in a garage area cluttered with old tv stands and other broken furniture. Office smelled very strongly of curry. Some deficiencies in the room: · no toilet paper (though I could "come and get some" in the office)--and then the toilet-roll dispenser broke, ·... More

I stayed at the Blue Marlin in mid-March for the Shamrock Marathon. Having looked at other hotels on the strip, the Blue Marlin was half the price of most others, and turned out to be a very good value. I paid $90 before taxes through Priceline, and other sites were pricing the room similarly. A friend staying at the same... More

New remodeled rooms clean new microwaves and refrigarators. Housekeeping and desk clerks are friendly and quick to fill request. The prices are very fair. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean family hotel at a good price.

I expected a hotel that was run down. I only booked it for the night to beat the holiday traffice and stayed the rest of the weekend at a 3.5 Star Hotel. Everything is what I expected...that is until we made it to our room. WOW! New beautiful ceramic tile, new microwave, new fridge, new TV...the place was totally renovated!... More
