This motel was very peaceful. It has a nice cactus garden in front and a bench, which I used to enjoy the spectacular desert sunset. The gentleman who runs the place was very nice and has the place looking immaculate. It was a great place for me to stay and visit the Organ Pipe Cactus NM. If im ever in the area again I would definitely stay again. Price was good too.

It's a motor court, something you remember from the sixties where you park directly outside your room and always have quick access to items in the car. Very convenient! The room was small but adequate for two with queen bed, nice size shower--hot water--comfortable room heating and nice satellite TV plus microwave, fridge and coffeemaker in a separate side room. My only complaint was the outside security lights are bright and the old style window blinds weren't capable of blocking the light so the room isn't adequately dark at night. We were able to bring in a furniture pad from the truck to hang over the window and that darkened the room enough for a good night's sleep.

The room is in desperate need of repairs and upkeep. Floors are in terrible condition. Refrigerator, tiny, hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. Shower drains slowly and is dingy. Linen was clean. Pillows well worn. I took pictures. I am sure there are worse places but I certainly won’t be returning to this motel.

My Kind of Place! 😉
I was a bit cold so providing an extra blanket would have been great. The bedspread wasn't quite warm enough even though the heater worked fine my other 1/2 likes it cooler. Also, the pillows were pretty flat so replacing them would be a good idea. Thank you!

Unsafe
When I tried to unlock the deadbolt to go to the office to gripe about the poor wifi, it wouldn’t unlock! I had to remove the lock with the dinky little screw driver on my knife. The owner covered the resulting hole with tape. I wanted a significant comp but he wouldn’t do more $10. Hotels.com should remove this place from their listings.

It is unfortunate that the door lock did now work. We are taking appropriate action to replace all deadlock and doorlocks for each room. Thank you for staying at Marine Motel.

Extremely clean and convenient to Organ Pipe
The room and motel were extremely clean! The room was adequate and reasonable for our stay, though rooms could use to be updated. The location was very convenient to Organ Pipe Cactus and the border at Lukeville. This was a great choice for our one night in Ajo, and the sunset was amazing. We didn't use it, but the grocery store is directly across the highway within walking distance.

This motel isn't too bad. My room was very clean and quiet. It's old and could use some renovations, but my bed was comfortable and the room was cleaner than some 4 star hotels I've stayed in. I'd stay here again.

The Repairs Motel
Unbelievably poor condition, cleanliness and service. Pool green, no ice or any other amenity. Really sucks. Needs major repairs. Plumbing, paint, wallpaper, flooring, everything need upgrades, repair or replacement.

Good Value Older Style Motel
An older style basic motel that was very clean, tidy and quiet. The room was quite large, bathroom and the kitchenette were on the smallish side but all was very clean. The water in the shower was very hot which was great. The Owner/Manager was very helpful with information on where to eat. Would stay there again if in the area.
