I was upgraded on arrival without even asking for it. Check in was quick and Viv answered all of my questions. There is a no smoking policy which I think previous guests didn’t follow. There was a slight aroma, but it didn’t take away from the room at all. But guests should respect those rules for future guests and the hotel’s benefit.

This stay was brilliant. I came over for emergency purposes and was greeted, chatted to and welcomed with such kindness and care. The room was beautiful, cosy and so clean. Smelt divine and had all sky channels for your leisure. The best part really was the owner and how beautifully warming welcome and accomodating she was. A great sense of humour and made the stay so wonderful I will be come back tomorrow before I fly home! Highly recommend

There are 2 Blue Marlin motels. Nos. 4 & 13 Buffalo Beach Rd. The photo on Hotels.com page is from 13. No4 is an older place, clean & well equipped but floorboards are squeaky. Not so good in a downstairs unit. Apart from that handy to town centre &over the road from beach & walkway
