The bathroom of our room 104 was as slippery as ice. There was no rubber mat. There was no non skid surface. There was not one handrail in the entire shower or outside of it. My husband took a nasty fall and was bruised badly. The rest if our vacation, my husband had aches and pains. I called and spoke... More

I stayed here a few years ago, and since I didn't have my dog with me this year, I stayed again at the Hatteras Marlin. And it was nice, again. The pool is great, (the lounge chairs even have cushions!) the rooms are clean, the bathrooms are cute, stocked well, clean... The beds are comfy, and I still love their... More

We checked in on Monday and told the lady, we would be staying until Saturday. I didn't check the bill so it is partially my fault. We thought we paid for 5 days. We spent the day on the beach and was looking forward to going to the room and showering and relaxing and much to our surprise, we got... More

The Hatteras Marlin is in great location right in Hatteras Village. It's a classic two-story outdoor-hallway motel, with about 4 separate buildings. Our room was clean and comfortable with everything you need in a motel including a mini fridge. Front desk was busy - looks like they turn over vacation rentals from the same office - but the operation was... More

My boyfriend and I are currently staying a the Hatteras Marlin and have loved it since we checked in 4 days ago. We had room 15, which had a beautiful deck with Adirondack chairs over looking the water. It was clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and contrary to another post that I read the room smelled just... More

The motel was a "best buy" for the money. Well maintained, clean and fresh smelling. Beds were soooo comfortable. Planning to stay again in a couple of months.

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend and it's exactly what you would expect from an older beach hotel that has been around for years. We had a two double bed unit (No. 6) and it was a very pleasant stay. I found it to be clean, every thing in our room was in good repair but definitely... More

We stayed in motel the other weekend because we cM in town a day early before our rental house was available. Location is great if you're staying in Hatteras, close to the ferry. The wall unit air conditioning is quite loud, you can hear people walking/running upstairs if you're on the 1st floor, the bed isn't comfortable and the tv... More

I first stayed at the Hatteras Marlin Motel about 30 years ago. There has been quite a few changes made to the place throughout the years. The only change that thankfully has not happened, is the atmosphere. There is a lot of memories of my childhood here. If you are looking for the Ritz, you should go to Myrtle Beach... More

First impressions speak volume. Room smelled terrible. I opened the windows and the sills were covered in dirt/sand. Mattress spring could be felt on one side. Bathroom way too small. Curtains falling off rods. TV remote didn't work. I called the front desk, she said to come down to her to get a new one. Would never stay there again,... More
