The Spotlight on White Marlin Inn - Virginia Beach

Budget-Friendly Beachside Base for Music Fans

Modern convenience meets classic beach motel charm at the White Marlin Inn - Virginia Beach. Located just a 5-minute stroll from the Virginia Beach oceanfront, this no-frills inn offers essential comforts like free WiFi, in-room microwaves and refrigerators, and a 24-hour front desk—perfect for music lovers who need a place to crash after an epic night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

With top venues and the Virginia Beach Convention Center just minutes away, this motel is an ideal spot for catching live shows without the hassle. The location is close to the action but tucked away just enough to offer a quieter place to recover post-concert. Flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM means you won’t be rushed, even after a late night. Plus, easy access to rideshares and walkable nightlife make getting around a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a simple and affordable place to crash
Solo travelers chasing their favorite artists
Couples planning a fun beach-and-concert weekend
Fans who want a quiet place to unwind after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend more on tickets than lodging

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.

Dirty but decent

Liked: It was the cheapest. I enjoyed the top floor view my kids love seeing the water and it was right next to the water across from the boardwalk.
Disliked: The towels and rags were filthy which I don’t use. They had roaches in one of the rooms I rented so I switched rooms and it was decent.

We still enjoyed our trip...

Liked: The lady working the desk was very nice. The beach was so close and our favorite “spots” too
Disliked: The property desperately needs some “TLC” the bathrooms look like they haven’t been cleaned in a VERY long time. The bathroom did not feel like a clean area at all.

Horrible & Scary

Liked: I did not like anything , walked in , tv was messed up , no remote, stains and dirt built up on walls , smells like mildew . Mold & rust in bathroom , roaches were everywhere , I have never in my life experienced something so disgusting in my life , also someone else’s items were still hanging in the bathroom as if they didn’t even clean it , convinced the beds were made and that’s all . Arrived at 9pm & left by 4am , could not continue to sleep there once roaches got into my plastic container of food .
Disliked: Everything

Hotel manager told me tough...

Liked: I arrived & the hotel told me they were expecting me, & that I canceled. Can provide the booking payment. I wasn't reimbursed for this payment. I arrived at the hotel fully expecting a room. That didn't happen. No cancelation emails either. It was a FANTASTIC night trying to figure out where we were going to stay. Really loved it.Will be seeking reimbursement. Thank you.
Disliked: They sold my room to someone else
