Smallwood Vacations

Clean room. Excellent staff. Great location on South Beach.

Great breakfast. Good access to beach. Hot water slow/limited in morning.

The Marlin Hotel had hidden fees that were not advertised on hotel.com. They were revealed on site during check in. These fees were in addition to what was paid for during the initial booking. The property was relatively clean but the AC in the rooms was noisy and had an odor. As it kicked in it was a jolting sound that would wake me up. The rooms had their wear and tear. I had to request turndown service and waited for a couple of days with trash in bath room. Although the staff demonstrated a verbal effort to help they could not do much. Finally the wifi service was finicky at best. The last morning I was there it went out and disrupted a business call I was on. Everything was “okay” . Where it should have counted for a boutique hotel, the critical services were less than fair.
