Marlin Hotel Stephens Green
We stayed at a few different properties throughout our stay and that really highlighted the poor condition the hotel was in. While the lobby looks cool and has good vibes, all 3 rooms we had were really poorly cleaned and maintained. For a newer hotel you can tell it has not been properly cared for. ...

Amazing location, good facilities - umbrella hire, nice, easy and early check in. Kind and helpful staff, good breakfast. Room little tired - loose bathroom fittings, but over all a very good stay.
