At Clarion we enjoyed good service at check-in, a very nice spacy, spotlessly clean room. The motel is right on the beach which was really nice, and walking distance to anything you'd need on vacation. We highly recommend this motel.

Front desk staff was terrific. Breakfast was great. Bathroom was cramped. You had to fully enter the bathroom before you could close the door. The toilet was next to the door. There were no hooks to hang a towel or clothes in the bathroom. The sink was not in the same area. Room was large, but located in a strange area of the hotel and was next to the road.

Rooms were clean, but outdated. Customer service was great, friendly staff. Breakfast included is a huge plus! Pool area is run-down. Workout room is pathetic….lots of broken equipment, no weights, broken water cooler, and carpeted! Beach and sidewalks full of goose poop, broken beach chairs, just not a well maintained beach area.

Good value, friendly staff and excellent breakfast. No elevator, but only two floors. However, for those with mobility issues, you’ll need to request first floor.

Everything was clean. Overall it was just OK. The place is older. A few upgrades would go a long way. Tiles are cracked in the bathroom. Pillows were barely even the size of a small sofa pillow. It wasn’t expensive but I wouldn’t say it was a great value overall, comparably. I don’t typically leave bad reviews but this wasn’t what I expected. Would we stay here again? Maybe, if the price was the full determining factor. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere.

Right on the water with a nice view of the bridge; so that’s nice. It was pretty dirty, smelled bad in the room, and there was mold growing on the bathroom ceiling. Wouldn’t recommend
