Help us make it rightThis guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The location was ok.\n\nNot clean. Had cockroaches. Beds were horrible.
The location was okay.\n\nThe staff was very rude. The room smelled and was not very clean. The refrigerator did not keep our items cold. At checkout we saw the cleaning staff go into a room and make the bed without changing sheets.
Its location\n\nThe staff and aggressive police in the parking lot who questioned me every time I came to my room.
Location\n\nNo curtains on windows.
Location and price\n\nHair from other guests in the bathtub and sink, Smokers outside the room exhaling smoke into the air controller and straight into room Air controller leaking water onto floor in room
Close to the bars and beach.\n\nNot cleaned, there was urine on the toilet bowl and the shower was full of soap scum and hair.
Didn't have any shower towels when we got there. Had a weird smell in the room. Tv didn't work and the lamps by the bed had no light bulbs in them.
Guests were yelling and the staff did nothing. Very loud, roaches, paid $--- for a single bed for two people to fit in.
There was not much to like about this hotel. It was one of the few places open for a last minute Saturday reservation 3 weeks out.\n\nThe rooms were awful. Ours was right next to Pacific so we heard drag racing all night with the thin door. It looks like someone broke the bathroom door in room 201 and someone decided to spackle it together. The room was --- with taxes is too much
There was nothing good about this place.\n\nBed was too small and uncomfortable. Sink too close to the toilet. Not enough parking. Could hear everything going on outside.Smelled smokey.
Leaving\n\nEverything
Excellent ,bed,heat,room locale ,and generally nice folks.
So impressed with the re-do. Was expecting the same old tired look from ages ago when we stayed one time and wow, so surprised. The room was immaculate.

Great value. Very nice for the price. Clean and neat. Nice kitchen
I love the Blue Marlin. It is one of the best hotels to stay in Virginia Beach. Awesome location and very good for the money you spend.
I was very relaxed the staff was nice beautiful view I would stay there again...
Good*location was 1 block from the ocean*the price is very cheap*they did well on dusting the furniture*toilets are set to kill*bed was comfy*AC unit worked well.*fridge and microwaveBad*dirty sheets*dirty looking towels*grimy tiled floor, glad i wore socks.*Long black hair in the shower.*neighboring lot had very bright lights entering the small windowI was debating between this hotel and 3...
Good close to beach nice room ......,.,,,,,,,,,,,,
everything was very well and pleasantwe had a nice view to look at the beach
No frills and not super clean, plus the staff are not overtly friendly and they do not restock toilet paper/soap daily. But there is wifi and it is a two minute walk to the beach. So if you're looking for beach proximity and don't care about amenities, this is a fine spot.
My Mom's side of the family had planned a VA beach weekend trip on one of the busiest beach weekends of the year. My husband, son, and I were only able to attend 1 night of the trip. We had a tough time finding a place near the hotel my Mom and everyone were staying at that allowed us to...
Pulled up to the hotel, didn't expect much. Got to our first room, and it wasn't even cleaned from the last people who used it. The manager apologized and we got a room with limited ocean view. The pool is a little bit small, and the outside appearance is kind of old school as well.
Pulling into the Blue Marlin I was not expecting much due to the fact that the outside looks run down and a little seedy but the manager was nice and let us see a room before checking in and I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms on the inside look very new and are very clean. The floor is tile which...
After such a great stay last year at the Blue Marlin Hotel, my wife, 2 boys and I spent 8 nights here again in 2014. The best part is the location, 1 block off of the beach. It takes about 3 minutes to walk to the best part of the beach (probably less tha it would take to get off...
This hotel i would not recomend the manager is so rude does not talk as a person with hotel manager should talk or treat custermors and the housekeeping is very poorly and the rooms are not worth the price they ask for
Staff was wonderful...Rooms were clean. Loved the fact they were tile and not carpet. But then of course this meant I could feel every peace of grit we drug in.
Fridge and microwave were clean. Pool was small, but there never seemed to be anyone there but us a night.
One block from the beach. Plenty of shopping and restaurants...
I would definitely go back!!!! Great time!!! Perfect for the price!!
Enjoyed our stay. Close enough to walk to the boardwalk and beach. Staff was very nice.
The housekeeping staff wasn't allowed to give us enough towels. We had to go to the office to request them and got strange looks from the man at the desk. The room was depressing and dirty and very noisy and the beds were so uncomfortable that we couldn't sleep at all and got up in extreme pain. It was a bad experience and I'd never go back there again.
Not worth the money. Bedsheets had stains and bed was not comfortable
Was great stay wish the bed was more comfortable but over all location and entire experience was wonderful within walking distance too everything ....
Close enough to the beach, walking distance. 4th floor has ocean views , room 412 and 420 are the best for viewing. Only con, bathtub and sink drained extremely slow. Would recommend for an overnight stay, only.
It sucked. Worst hotel I've stayed at. Rude clerks/housekeepers. Dirty rooms. Stains on bedding and towels.
Good experience, the room was clean and smelled good. I got there early so they gave methe parking pass and told me they would call once the room was ready.
Love this hotel...I stay here everytime I visit virginia beach!!
Well let me say this I was skeptical booking this hotel online because it doesn't have any pictures to go off of. And granted this was a last minute thing on my part so i didn't have the luxury of a full property research beforehand. My first impression was negative I called the hotel before booking just to make sure things were on the up and up, which almost cancelled our trip. The first time...
First, There were 3 people at the desk when we arrived. No one acknowledged our presence. One was just sitting there looking at us. Then, they couldn't understand what we wanted. We had reservations. No thank you, nothing. I reserved an economy room and received the standard. They only cleaned the bathroom. The floor remained gritty with sand our 4...
My husband and I lucked out and got a larger room with a kitchen area (Room 106) for the same price as a regular 2 double bed room. The room would've been perfect if only it was cleaner! The floors are tiled instead of carpeted, which I like in hotels - better chance of them being thoroughly cleaned. Unfortunately, that...
The staff was great and for what I pay for the room was nice would stay there again
Easy check in and good customer service. Everything was clean and seemed in good order. The room was very large and loved having a full fridge and oven with stove top. Second stay here and would definitely recommend.
2 sets of hotels, eff and dbl. check in was good, nice ppl. Had to clean the room, but @ least I know it's clean. first night below us, loud music, called the office at 3am and he handled it for us. Short walk to the beach. Close to everything. Try not 2 let neg reviews miss out.
I have never felt more unsafe at a hotel, there was drunk and homeless people hanging out on the steps of the hotel. The room was dirty and the pool was very small and right In the parking lot. This place is Horrible do not go here!
We stayed at this place before it was renovated and thought we'd try it again now because it was a good price in a central location. For this price, I don't expect great quality, but I do expect at least decent cleanliness. As others have said, the floor was filthy. Like after two minutes of walking around, the soles of...
Overall the hotel was beautiful! Looking at it from the outside you wouldn't think the rooms would be as stylish as they are, but they were great. Nice and spacious. The pool was clean. It was within walking distance of 2 stores. The only issue was the staff. I had a "run in" with the man working the front desk. Granted we did check in late, but i already had the room reserved and paid for. The...
Absolutely love this place.. Two minute walking distance from the beach.. Friendly staff it looks rough from the outside but don't judge it from outside.. the inside is beautiful n everything is spaced out.. the price is incredible I will be returning before the summers over with
The hotel was just what we needed having two kids and all.. Nothing fancy but did the job. The room was clean but it did have a drink still in the refrigerator so that made me think they did not clean everything. Other than that our stay was great and would go back again....
1 block back from the beach. Great location in the center of Virginia Beach.
We were thrilled with this place. This place is completely renovated - the pictures we saw in online reviews were no longer accurate. We found the room to be clean, attractive, and functional. Tile floors in the room help with sand management. It has a full kitchen - full size fridge, microwave, sink, range, and oven - but doesn't provided...
I was a bit nervous to book here as the pictures of the hotel looked so dated. But this was the best price for something close to the beach- and it's SO close to the beach at only a block away.It would have been difficult to make me happier. I was thrilled with the place before we even saw our room because the manager allowed us to park our car there way before check-in (we arrived around 9...
I give this two stars instead of one since the rooms are large, full kitchen and the price fairly low.
The floor was FILTHY. Every inch was covered with hair, debris and dirt. I would guess it has never been cleaned. I ran a dry tissue across a few tiles and it came back black and covered with hair and...
I stayed here for about a month and it was a good experiance. Rooms are very nice. Looks a little run down on the outside but it is a very nice place Overall. The people at the front desk are very nice and helpful. The rates are also ver good for the area. Will stay here again when I come...
I had a unpleasant experience to stay at the Blue Marlin recently. I was looking for a basic hotel with no amenities, in close proximity to the start and end points for the Shamrock Half Marathon in Virginia Beach.
The location was good for this event. That's the best I can say. The room had a kitchenette with stove and...
They say never judge a book by it's cover...this motel makes this place out to be true. It looks shotty on the outside, but the inside is not bad at all. It's been recently renovated, which looks really nice for the price. The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. The only thing I hated was the floors. The floors are...
It was a very nice hotel. Friendly staff. Right in the middle of everything (great location) I will book a room here for my next trip!!
This motel is very nice, we had a great time. It is super clean, and the room are nice decorated with all the facilities: phone, tv with cable, kitchen, nice bathroom with hair dryer, closet, etc. It is at 2 min to the beach, even less. There is a nice bar near by and nice and cheap restaurent. They have...
This hotel looks a bit run down from the outside but the rooms are adequate. Tiled floor in room was undesireable. Staff was very accommodating and switched our room after the last person smoked in our non-smoking room.
BLUE INN is in the process of renovating. Room 110 right next to the rental office and by the pool was very satisfactory to me. It is equipped with full fridge & stove, micro-wave, plenty of cupboards. But as of then (sept 2013) no table & chairs, no dishes, pots & pans. It will come as the owner/manger (?) told...
We used to go to Blue Marlin many years ago. It started to become run down, so we stopped going. We recently found out that they had been sold and undergone major renovations. So, we decided to try it again. The rooms appeared to be clean. They have new furniture and the bathroom and floor was completely redone. Unfortunately, the...
I read the other reviews on here before booking this room.I was SO disappointed! Room was not clean. When maid service came they only stacked towels and made bed. No trash take out or mop of slate floors.Noise and lights unbearable for sleeping.Whole area nasty. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone
Not bad for the price. Whoever was running the lobby during our stay could have been better. No bell at desk and nobody around. Left us standing for 10 minutes. Then billed us for an extra night and tried to argue when I told him that wasn't what I booked. Showed him my confirmation email and he did end up getting it fixed for us.
I was a bit concerned after reading some reviews, and my husband was ready to change hotels when I told him about some them, but we went wearily.
We were surprised, and happy we stuck with original plan.
I paid about 60.00 a night for a 3 night stay. I would say we got our money's worth.
The location is...
Great spot for the price. It looked like hotel was recently renovated, I enjoyed the little pool after a whole day at the beach. 24H Walgreens is next door which is awesome.Awesomely looking bathroom and liked the custom made furniture.Overall this place was great for the price.Cheers
We were scheduled to arrive on a Monday and stay thru Saturday. At the last minute we decided we wanted to go a day earlier. Blue Marlin was able to accommodate us. We told them it would be a late arrival and they said no problem. We arrived at 1:30 a.m. and they were there waiting for us. The staff...
The Blue Marlin motel may look like a regular hotel, but its not. This place had gorgeous rooms for the price we paid. The pool was nice and crystal clear blue, and it was very much relaxing. The noise level was good, and it was peaceful. The room had a full kitchen, comfortable beds, and a nice big bathroom. It...
We chose the Blue Marlin based upon recommendations for Best Virginia Beach value and stayed for 1-week. We are so glad to have stayed there and will definitely return. It was even better than expected. Here are examples of our pleasant surprises:
1. Price/value - If you have searched for nice hotels based upon price and location then you already...
We visited this motel at the end of June. Paid for a room with ocean view. The people at the office were rude, it felt like the last thing they wanted to do is to work. The motel looks bad, poor and neglected. The room we've got was dirty and full of dust. The lamp did'nt work and the bath...
This motel is a great place. I was a little nervous about booking it at first. I was very pleased with the staff and the room. sand made floor a little gritty but nothing to complain about. Loved that it was only a block away from the beach too. I will definatly keep this place in mind for my next...
I was very nervous about booking a cheaper hotel, with hope of not checking into the bates motel. I was very pleased with the staff and our room. The tile floor in the room got slick a few times from my kids tracking sand in the room upon returning from the beach, but nothing major. Alot of great shops and...
this is the first time we stayed here at the Blue Marlin but to tell you the truth it was a joke. first we checked in and it was raining so we park the car near the front so it was easy for us to bring our stuff to the second floor which had no elevator. once I got into...
My wife and I stayed two nights at the hotel. Room 419 ocean view. Looks nice inside the room but not worth saving money to be bitten like crazy. First night I woke up with a couple of bumps on me and just thought a mosquito had bitten me. Second night I woke up to over 55 bites on me....
This was my 3rd trip to Virginia Beach in as many years and I have paid more than $150/night for 2 star hotels in the past. This time I booked with the Blue Marlin Motel- was skeptical in the beginning due to the mixed and very few reviews but I can say it was well worth the stay.
Its a...
When I arrived at Blue Marlin I checked into my room only to find out that the refrigerator was broken, ok, well that was replaced about 20 minutes later. No big deal. The next morning went out to the beach and then at about 10:30 decided to go to the pool at the hotel and it was suppose to be open at 10 a.m., but because someone did not show up to check the PH I had to wait for someone to show...
we were worried about this particular place, but then we got there and they had an amazing room for us right near the beach. it was GREAT!
my fiancé and I stayed here for 4 nights & we were skeptical about it at first, but once we saw the room we were amazed and so happy about how close it is to the beach. it's an amazing place to stay and I would recommend it for EVERYONE!
Had a bad experience our first night at Virginia Beach at the Travelodge at 1909 Atlantic Ave., stayed one night and checked out. Had stayed at the Blue Marlin on a previous occasion so went there to get a room for remainder of stay. Staff was friendly and accomodating on such short notice. Everything that we needed we were either...
The staff was very nice. The rooms had been updated and were very modern and very very clean. The location is great and we will be staying with them again in the future.
I recently stayed at this hotel with my boyfriend. We drove 10 hrs from MA to this hotel. Our original reservation was for 3 nights, however, we only stayed 2 nights. We lost the money we paid for the last night, but felt like we spent enough time there in that hotel! The hotel interior wasn't that bad, although I have seem MUCH better. The interior was renovated, the bathroom looked very nice,...
Although the owners of the Blue Marlin are making attempts to renovate the motel, it would have been nice if simple cleanliness would be upgraded. The bed sheets felt gritty; the floor was filthy and what should have clued us was when we entered, the bathroom toilet had urine on it and looked like it had recently been used but not cleaned. The bath towels were too small for my 5 year old...
The Blue Marlin was the perfect fit for our vacation! The price was very affordable and well worth it. If they continue to keep up the great work we will surely stay here again. The beach was literally a walk across the street, near shops and restaurants, with on site parking. The rooms were newly remodeled, clean, and had tile floors which put us at ease, due to the ability to be thoroughly...
the room was nice. BUTTT the air, the fridge, and the clock and the microwave did not work at first. I told front desk and they did come and check it out. They got the air working but the fridge just didn't get cool at all. Then when I awoke that morning, there was no electricity.
It was ok. the second building looks very run down. not as clean as i would of liked. not very personable staff. would not stay again. couldnt wait to check out.
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...
We went to check in at about 7 p.m., and although the front door was locked and they didn't immediately answer the phone, the front desk woman let us in within 2-3mins. and we were checked in rather quickly.The motel looked a little sketchy, with the old hotel arm chairs sitting outside each room, but the room was surprisingly clean and comfortable. The bathroom was beautiful. Granted, the...
the hotel exterior looks like it came out of a war zone, the staff had to make numerous calls to see if the room was clean and ready. The room itself was ok. The beds are small and not the most comfy. I cut them some slack since they are a family run place trying to compete with mega hotels. Its close to the beach, and there is a fun bar right beside it. I would probably stay again, if I get...
After checking in at the front desk we went to our room. Upon opening the door we were greeted by two unmade beds and empty beer and wine cooler bottles. We went right back to the office and told them we were leaving. The manager wanted to show us another room but after seeing the first one we weren't interested. The manager stated that he wouldn't refund our deposit because we refused to look...
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...
great place great pricejust a 5 minute walk to the beachstaff very nice and the rooms recently remodeled so everything is new
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...
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.
A soon as I walked into the office to check-in, I should have known that the price was too good to be true. There was no greeting, not even a smile from the woman at the desk and the pile of old furniture in the parking lot was scary. In our room, there were two hand towels for four adults. The room was not clean and even though we only styayed for one night, it was too long. Everything about...
Well pleased with the remodeled bathroom and room floor. booked 2 rooms for 2 nights - one room was not cleaned out at all next day and other room was only cleaned in the bathroom. Door latches in both rooms were damaged thus a safety issue with toddler who is able to open the door and run out of the room anytime. Storage space is another shortcoming - 2 small drawers. There is no rack to hang...
This hotel is at great location just a street over from the beach and right across from 7eleven. The room size was bigger than I expected and good enough size to throw parties. Microwave and huge fridge was a plus. Only bad thing about my room was the television only had 5 channels.
I have been to VA beach many times and have never had a problem--saw this hotel, and figured I would give it a chance because I was only going down to visit friends for one night ....IT WAS HORRIBLE! DON'T GO HERE! (if I could, I wouldn't even give it 1 star...but it won't let me)First of all, when we got there there were NO parking spaces, people were double parked, and there was barely space...
It took ua 45 minutes to check in because no one paid or forwarded our reservaton to the hotel. Next, the hotel was rated 4 stars by the internet travel company and it would be generous to rate it as a 2. The rooms did not have anyplace to hang your clothes, there was a large space between the door and the door jam so the street nosie level was unbearably high, there was no coffee pot, or ice...
have been staying here since October about once a month or so - only problem is not enough hot water sometimes - otherwise, pleasant experience and great location - 1 block from beach!!!
Me and my gf stayed for a night. Good location and basic minimum you expect from a hotel. Except that there was no safe and no coffee machine. But TVset and fridge were in pace. Internet did not work for my 802.11 G pad. We had a two beds room where we used only one bed cause it's large enough for a couple, could easily fit 4 people for a night.
Hotel is in process of renovation. I would stay there again but had to make adjustments to make it work. The owner and staff are trying to work it through.
Was under construction Out of the way off the strip. Wasn't what I expected Staff was nice. Needs some work Inside of room was nice outside needs work
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,
·...
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...
Don't let the appearance fool you! I was skeptical looking at the outside, but everything inside was new and shiny! The floors are tile, so no worries about bugs in the carpeting. The room was very clean! The staff is friendly. The walk to the beach was called a 'block', but it was more like a hop, skip and a jump! Also, if they put you on the 4th floor, you can see the ocean from the balcony....
This is not the type of place I normally stay, I stay at a lot of Marriott hotels for business so I tend to stay with them for personal trips as well. I was in need of a room for the marathon in VA Beach and this place popped up as a 4 star hotel at a great price close to the starting line. I had my doubts but thought I would give a try since it was only one night by myself.The reviews talk up...
Fabulous! Stayed for only one nite for a marathon, wish could've stayed longer. They let us check in early ..room was very pleasant. Outside is very deceiving, but inside is remodeled. Close to everything! Would definately stay again!
On an overnight trip to visit my Godson in Norfolk, my sister-in-law and I reserved a room at the Blue Marlin Motel because of the low price and the pictures of the rooms. Upon driving up to the motel it seemed very shabby and we had our doubts about staying there. But we decided to look further,
The check-in was...
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 booked this motel for a 3 night trip to Virginia beach... i had to book multiple rooms due to number of people in our family on this trip and I booked the cheapest hotel available near to beach. the motel location is on pacific ave and just behind Walgreen. it was just a road crossing to board walk. When...
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!...
