Food and Drink Options

While the White Marlin Inn doesn’t have on-site dining, its prime location means you’re within easy walking distance of late-night eats, casual diners, and beachfront bars. With a microwave and mini-fridge in every room, it’s also easy to bring back leftovers or stash your favorite snacks for a post-show snack attack.

Nightlife Options

Being so close to the oceanfront means you're never far from buzzing bars, casual pubs, and live music spots. Whether you want to keep the night going or just grab a nightcap, you’ll find plenty of options nearby. For a more chilled vibe, there are laid-back beach bars and lounges offering local brews and ocean breezes.

What People Say

Guests love the location—just a short walk to the beach and close to both concert venues and the Convention Center. Many appreciate the value for money and the convenience of having basic amenities like WiFi, air conditioning, and mini appliances. The 24-hour front desk also gets kudos for making late arrivals a breeze.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the rooms are fairly basic and could use a bit of updating. Think of it as more of a place to rest your head than a luxury retreat—but for the price and location, many guests say it’s a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, no-fuss hotel close to Virginia Beach’s live music scene, the White Marlin Inn hits all the right notes.

It’s an option.

Liked: Very walkable to the beach. Glad there is a less-expensive motel option — hotel prices and taxes have gotten out of hand. Could this place use some updates? Of course, but then the prices would likely go up.
Disliked: Remote didn’t change the channels, shower was very hot and hard to make warm, some little bugs were found (hard to eradicate in the south) and the kitchen cabinets were screwed shut. Did have a good sized fridge and microwave though. Beds were adequate. Room smelled of smoke.

Liked: I like that it was close to the beach not too far
Disliked: I didn't like that the fact that my wife wakes up with bug bites all over her then very next day when she clearly had none the day before I called to complain didn't get a refund nor did the owner call me back
