This is an older hotel that is in need of significant updates. The rooms, furniture, bedding, pillows, and blankets all felt outdated, and our room had a noticeable smell of cigarette smoke mixed with other unpleasant odors. If you’re looking for a modern hotel with amenities, this probably isn’t the best choice. The hotel does not offer breakfast or other amenities, but parking is included, which is convenient. The biggest advantage of this hotel is its excellent location. It’s only about a five-minute walk to the beach and close to many restaurants, shops, and attractions, making it a good base for exploring Virginia Beach. I also want to recognize the wonderful lady at the front desk. She has apparently worked there for many years, and her kindness and willingness to help made a huge difference in our stay. She went above and beyond to assist us with everything we needed and was by far the best part of our experience. Overall, this is a budget-friendly hotel that serves its purpose if you simply need a place to sleep while spending your days enjoying Virginia Beach. Just don’t expect modern accommodations or resort-style amenities.

I’m not one to care about the venues I stay in, but this was the first time I wasn’t pleased. The photos on the web look nicer than the room I was in. The closet didn’t have a bar to hang my clothes. The towels looked old. Maybe the venue needs a facelift. It was conveniently close to the beach so that was a plus. I will say that I’m not disappointed with service. It did its job at the end of the day. A place to set my things, shower, and sleep. Definitely not a place to bring a partner or family. Didn’t hate it but didn’t love it. Lesson learned.. hotels might be the best option for me going forward.

The staff is very nice and the motel is in a safe location, however, you need to be okay with the lack of room cleanliness. The bed sheets and such were definitely clean, just lack of floor/kitchenette/bathroom were not the best.

The White Marlin was actually rather surprising, in the best way. From the outward look one may think "oh Lord it's run down", but looks mean nothing! The rooms were super clean and quiet. The staff was so nice and friendly. And the surrounding area was full of things to do and see

The Inn is your typical beach weathered motel style property. Rooms are clean and well kept up and the Wi-Fi worked greatly. Location is amazing, 2.5 blocks from the water, ample food options and a 7/11 nearby. If you're looking for a resort, this ain't that. But if you're looking for a clean place to sleep and chill as needed, this place is golden.

This property is currently being renovated to attract more clientele. Michael was extremely affable and responsive. He cares about the property and is working hard to make upgrades. The best part of the room is the huge T.V. screens. Some are cable, mine was Roku. All rooms also have a full size fridge with freezer. Also a plus was a table and chairs to sit down and eat. The beds are very comfy. At first the water temp was just warm, but after asking Michael the water was very hot.

Theres no denying that the motel is older. However it was extremely clean! I am fussy about cleanliness in a hotel or motel and this location blew me away. It smelled amazing and was well tended. The staff are extremely kind and even my toddlers liked them. The location is extremely convenient! We walked to thr beach and beach shops. Also very short drive to local stores and attractions. In short, its an older facility, with no frills. But the staff ,location, cleanliness and price make it more than worth it. We will be back!
