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.

Room needs an upgrade

I couldn't open the door.It looked like someone knocked it opened.It was somewhat fixed. I had trouble with it everytime I left the room.The room had an over powering smell of bleach.We had to keep the door open for about 30 minutes. The bathroom door had an issue.It kept hitting the wall.Room 112.REALLY NOT WORTH WHAT I PAID.

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 :)

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.
