Our usual hotel in Hateraswas closed for the winter so we decided to try the Hatteras Marlin. We were pleasantly surprised at the comfortably spacious room, very comfortable king size bed, large bathroom, and kitchenette. We brought a few perishables with us, and it was nice to have a full size refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker available, in addition to... More

We were attending a wedding in Hatteras and were told that this was the closest hotel to were the wedding was to occur. The price was okay for the kitchenette unit we needed. We are a family of four, two girls, four and 16 months. First impression was the musty smell. Didn't take too long to get used to that,... More

Hatteras Marlin Motel is a very nice, clean, modernized, no frills motel. Located right in Hatteras Village across from the charter fleet. Easy access for mobility impaired on first floor. Nice pool area. Places to sit out on grounds by waters edge (bring your chairs). Request a room in the building in the back, more privacy and less noisy.

overall not a bad little spot! Would stay again. Bathroom was tiny and pillows thin, but beds were comfy and room looked newly updated. Central location in Hatteras within walking distance of the breakwater restaurant.

We stayed for just 1 night but we so pleased we will stay again next time we are in Hatteras. The bed and pillows were comfy. The room and bathroom were clean. The mini-fridge and coffee maker came in handy. And it's on a beautiful inlet. I also loved the couple cats that roamed the grounds - felt like home!... More

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

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
