Marlane is under proud new ownership as of October 31st, 2025. We are excited for a new chapter in the legacy of Marlane! We are currently fully renovating the rooms & property and anticipate a Grand Re-Opening in the early Spring of 2026! Once we cut the ribbon, Marlane will be open & ready to welcome guests all year round!
Marlane will be rolling out a state-of-the-art online reservation system starting around January 2026! Reservations will be best made through this system. Our staff will be available 24/7 by phone or message/email to assist in the transition process!
Marlane is following our owner's proven success with "Contactless Hospitality" - meaning that the front desk will not be regularly staffed on-site. Don't worry! Our management and front desk team are always available to assist with anything that may come up, and our staff in the area can respond to any urgent situations, typically within 15 minutes or less. We will also be moving away from daily housekeeping as a default - but don't worry, you'll still see some familiar faces (& some new ones) around every day! This means our staff will not be coming into your room during your stay unless you ask us to. We are ALWAYS happy to drop off extra towels or assist with other things that may come up though - just let us know!
Reservations require a 50% deposit at the time of booking; the remainder will be charged automatically 7 days before your arrival date. Cancellations made at least 7 days before arrival will receive a full refund. No refunds or modifications can be made after that point. Reservations made less than 7 days in advance are non-refundable.
