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

The room was older but still in good condition. It was a big room for having two double beds in it. The pool is easily accessible, has a lot of chairs, and has a large awning for those who don't want to be in the sun. Smoking is allowed at the pool, though. There are a lot of restaurants near... more

I just spent three nights at the Blue Marlin Motel and it was more than I expected. I have walked by this motel many times over the years and never thought much about it, except for its cool art deco design. The place is very clean inside and out. Not fancy, but very comfortable. Pool is nice, ice machine was... more

Stayed at the Blue Marlin the week of May 23, 2007. Was here on two previous occasions, but sadly my most recent experience fell short of previous stays. The property is a little dated, and the bedding/pillows show the strain of years of use. Housekeeping did an adequate job, but somehow the dead bug in the corner of the bathroom... more

My husband and I were recommended this motel by a friend of a friend. We flew into Miami, stayed 2 nights in Key Largo and then 3 nights in Key West. While it certainly wasn't the best motel I have ever stayed in for the price it was fine. The pool is huge and inviting. An older crowd which we... more

This trip was taken in February and was kind of spur of the moment. We looked pretty thouroughly through all the available hotels and decided on the Blue Marlin based more on price than anything else. Turned out to be a great decision, room was clean, hotel felt very safe, and it was in good proximity to bar hopping on... more

This was the 3rd time we stayed at this Hotel over New Year's and for the price it can't be beat. It's clean and convenient to just about everything. Good deli's and restaurants right on Simonton as well as around the corner. Pool is nice and quiet. Good for families traveling together - the balcony is a great place to... more

If you're looking for a luxury hotel - this is not the place. If you're looking for a clean room to come back to after sightseeing and playing all day and into the night - this is the place. A short walk to Duvall street, a drug store across the street for aspirin and breakfast(if you're up that early). The... more
