There was a continental breakfast in the lobby in the mornings of danish,... more

My husband and I chose the Blue Marlin motel because of all the great reviews and the price. We did substantial research prior to reserving our room, so we did not expect to be disappointed. Upon arrival, the front desk person was not quite friendly. In fact, throughout our 4 day stay, we found only one person at the front... more

Just returned from our 2 weeks vacation to Florida. Travelling from Amsterdam to Miami via EWR we arrived late on Oct. 10th and decided to travel down to Key West the same night. You can imagine we were totally tired when we arrived in Key West at 06.00 am. We checked on the hotel and were told check-in would be... more

My husband and I recently returned to The Blue Marlin for the fourth time to celebrate our anniversary. We have loved staying there and now they have renovated the rooms. Super clean and they offer free wireless internet service. The staff are helpful and nice, but David, in particular, was very nice to us. The staff can also make great... more

All I can say is we wern't expecting much for the price, but were really surprised when we pulled in. The place has obviously been redone since the last time we went past it. It is no longer pink, and the rooms were great! Very clean, new fixtures, freshly painted, they must have done ALOT of work to this place,... more

Booked this hotel based on TA reviews and it was as expected, but one thing I don't remember reading about were the thinness of the linens. That drove me nuts!! Also, if you don't like to hear people walking around upstairs, get the upstairs rooms. Never had a problem with the neighboring walls or outside, but heard the walking. Floors... more
