I was given an updated room, with clean sheets on bed, working microwave, working a/c, working fridge - all clean, zero smoke smell. The bathroom towels did have a hair on them that did not belong to me, but I did not utilize the shower during my stay. Housekeeping was polite and came to ask if I needed anything, but I did not. Check-in was seamless and the woman was really kind. I did have a visitor with many legs the first night, but a little spray took care of that, and I saw no more critters the rest of my stay. My room did not have carpeting or any burnholes, and I witnessed no illegal activity. It was quiet, with the exception of the traffic on the busy street. I would stay here again. :)

I made a mistake and booked one day after my arrival, however when I got there the front desk person was very nice and work with me to work with the website to change my booking because normally you can’t change same day. That in itself was awesome. The hotel room was what I was looking for in walking distance from everything I did not expect it to have a refrigerator or microwave but it did so that was a plus. I will definitely stay again when I go back to the beach.

Took overnight trip with my wife. I did not realize it was race weekend and booked one of the last rooms available in DB at the San Marina. I was pleasantly surprised after reading many not so good reviews. The check in went well and the staff were very polite & nice. Yes the hotel is dated but the room was exceptionally clean. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed a good night's sleep. We enjoy the DB nightlife and restaurants. Hotel was about a 20 minute walk to the boardwalk and about 10minutes to Sebring St. We would definitely stay again. Free parking was on site.

This property was disgusting and smelt horribly of smoke! There were holes in the walls! Stains on the beds and zero room. The bed sat in front of the dresser with less then a foot In between. There was some shady people hanging outside the room with garbage littered all over the parking lot!!

We stayed one night. The notice at the reception window said: if you don’t like your room come and look at other rooms. Interesting beginning isn’t it. We were so tired after our flights that decided not to prolong the suffering. Our king size bed room on the 1st floor was tiny, furniture very old, one tiny window, unpleasant dusty smell in the room. The tiny bathroom though clean enough didn’t have even a small shelf for toothpaste and tooth brushes. We put them on the windowsill.

Towels and wash cloths were filthy, burn holes in blankets. Floors were filthy and covered in dirt, did not smell clean, smelled like cigarette smoke, had to go and buy sheets just to be able to sleep because none of the bed sheets seemed remotely clean.

Good location questionable service
Called in advance to verify parking and were told valet parking would be $30/day. We arrived to valet to check into the hotel and unload our truck and they tried to up-charge us and said it’d be $40/day to park the truck. I went into the hotel and told them what happened. They said it might be because it’s a bigger vehicle, but they ended up following through with $30/day since that’s what they stated on the phone. The valet expected you to tip them every time they drive your vehicle. The room was small but the location was great. The bed and pillows were hard. Bathroom fixtures were falling off and such as the shower knob (I had to put it back on gently to be able to use it because it fell off as soon as I turned the knob). It’s an older hotel but definitely needs more upkeep. The best part of this hotel is the location being right across the street from the beach. However, there are plenty of options to choose from on this strip. After leaving, I noticed the side of my truck was scratched in two places which weren’t there before paring valet for this trip. Now I’ll have to have work done on my truck to fix these issues.

Went to complain about the homeless people staying outside the room, they told me they were calling the police. T.V didn't work & no Wifi. I was told by the desk that I had unplugged the TV and that wifi was not included it was just complimentary. Originally booked a smoking room but was told I was upgraded to a non-smoking b/c they didn't have any other rooms. Soon after Police trespassed me.

it's an Okay spot
the motel room was clean though the mattresses did have some marks but was mainly on the box spring. service was straight forward and got me to my room quick. tho the key card was down at first took me a while to get my key card. the only issue i really had was parking. you had to get a spot early as possible because the parking lanes are so few and stacked together. its not amazing but its not bad either. i would stay again if i was on a budget

The room was good and the property was close to the beach and tons of food and shopping. We had to call the desk to get someone to check us in and the office is not 24 hours so we had to leave the key in a mailbox outside of the office. Pool was good as well.

When checking in, firstly, it was difficult to find the office, had to park around the corner. Then the man gave me the third degree. As a single woman checking in alone, it was a bit off putting. Then the room itself was adequate, but about 40 years out of date. I needed a place to sleep for one night.
