The Mariner is a descent place for a little get away. The rooms might not be fully updated but at least it wasnt crawling with roaches. Being right next to the gulf it is in fairly good shape. Not really a continental breakfast when its only a muffin.

Stay was great and suited our needs But
The stay was great and suited our needs.. we did have our 4 year old grandson with us and with the xtra person.. it was a little tight.. we had 2 beds but not a whole lot of walking space between the furniture.. bed could have been a little softer but maybe I'm just old.. for the $$, I'll stay again :)

Last minute trip to the Beach...
It was a spur of the moment overnight trip. We wanted beach view. The room was an average room, nothing fancy of course. the bed was comfy, but the shower was awful! hardly any water pressure, and it took a while to receive hot water. Besides the shower issue, our overall stay was okay. I may book this hotel in the future. We just needed a bed and shower, as our plan was stay on the beach the whole day.

Domigo was great, room was subpar
I think the best experience about this place was the front desk person named Domingo. The lady who checked us out looked like I was interrupting her show or whatever on her phone. It was supposed to be partially ocean view, it was not. The shower was gross, but they did offer a fridge and microwave. Don’t think we’ll revisit this place.

Small room. Dirty floors. Too Expensive. Tiny pool. Crapy coffee and pastries for breakfast. Plugs did not work for hair dryer. Ice machine was nasty leaking water everywhere. Shower had very little water pressure. Had to get my own towels after having to dry the floors with the first set do to extreme condensation in the room. Table a chairs were rusty. 1 out of 10 would not recommend.
