The rooms have been upgraded, I have stayed there 3+ times over the last 3-4 years. This past New Year, we received a not so pleasant New Years welcome when we were refused late check out of any sort, and one of my friends rooms was barged in on and told the police had been called...aprox. :30 after they were... more

We were able to get a room at the last minute for a good price. The pool was fantastic. The hotel is in a U shape with outdoor access to rooms. Parking and pool are in the middle. It looks as much of the hotel is recently updated. Very clean and comfortable. Great residental neighboorhood with small cafes, can walk... more

The Blue Marlin was a great place to stay. Spotless, quiet, comfortable - really nice bathroom - great location just off Duval street but away from the crowds. more

Standard motel set up with 2 storey blocks arranged around a great pool. Room was clean and spacious with regular bathroom. Staff were helpful and directed us to excellent nearby Italian restaurant, local bike hire (highly recommended way to see around Key West) and on site laundry facilities. more

We stayed there with our two kids and another family also with their two kids and really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are clean, quite large and comfortable. The location is good and still quiet. The swiming pool is really nice and we can have breakfast, lunch and diner around it. We had a great stay there. more

We visited Key West when Katrina ripped through the Keys and then to the Gulf prior to hitting New Orleans... The location of the Blue Marlin being close to the Southernmost Point was the only part of the island to have power most of the time during the peak of the storm. We lost power for maybe 4-5 hours while... more

I stayed at the Blue Marlin with my famliy for a week, and loved the motel. The rooms were clean and spacious. The price was very affordable. They also offered a contential breakfast of coffee, juice, donuts, and buns. The pool was very nice as well. My only complaint would be that there was no carpeting on the floor, and... more

The price was good, but there was no service at all and nothing is handicapped accessable. We were lucky in the fact that I could stand long enough for my family to lift my chair up onto the walkway between the parking lot and the room, but to go to the pool was a staircase that I could never take.... more
