Front desk clerk was not the friendliest and demanded our 2nd room deposit via card was in the name of the person checking into the room. I guess. Breakfast was coffee and muffins only. Best beach front hotel on a budget. Room was clean and bed was decent. One night stay for our Carnival cruise.

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.

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.
