Clarion Inn & Suites

The front desk staff was hospitable. The room was very spacious. We were a bit worried about the cleanness of the room after reading some reviews, but our room on the 7^th floor with a partial ocean view was clean and we have nothing to complain. The breakfast area was quite small and there was much traffic there, so we had breakfast in the Pocahontas Pancake House nearby, which was delicious.

We stayed here in 12 & 13 on the 8^th floor with a partial ocean view cause we had a side room. The suite was clean and decent I had no complaints. I wasn’t there for the room I was there for the beach. The hotel continental breakfast I being not a big breakfast guy didn’t partake in the food, but I did have coffee. The pool was popping people having a blast. Housekeeping were excellent extra towels when needed beds made etc.
Now what did I do when down in VB of course I went to the pier brought a new rod and reel some sinkers and bait. I did some fishing but more than that I actually relaxed on the beach for two days. On those two days saw dolphins swimming north along the shore line. Then at night they brought out the telescopes yes yes yes I was freaking out as I was looking at Saturn. Let me just say this fishing and stargazing is an amazing on to itself but doing that with your family makes it extra special.
I’m hoping to return in 16 and I know what hotel I plan on staying at. The one I was very comfortable at.

The room linen was clean that was it. The floors and elevators were flithy. I will definitely not be staying at this GROSS hotel ever again. It was pet friendly and did I mention it was flithy. I could not imagine eating in the free Buffet offered with the room. Got suckered in by the great rate for the area. should have known better. this hotel needs a Quality Control Inspection quick!!!

My family of four (two teens) stayed here for three nights.
Pros: spacious room, good/​convenient location, room was clean, we had enough towels, bathtub drained, a/​c worked well.
Cons: no where to hang towels/​suits (a clothesline in the bathtub would be nice); noisy hallways at night; a dog that barked all night next door; pool deck is right next to parking lot/​driveway and doesn’t have much space; front desk staff at checkin were a little surly.
Breakfast was generic, but fine. I think this place gets «heavily used» like much of VA Beach, at least along the strip. For three nights it’s fine.

I just got back from Virginia Beach on Monday. Overall my stay at the Clarion was excellent. The room was clean, they are pet friendly, but most of all the staff WAS EXCELLENT. Ray, thanks for being so hospitable. From the concierge, to the desk staff, to housekeeping, I will say it was one of the better experiences I have had. The hotel itself is one block from the beach, but I didn’t mind that. I arrived early (10 am) and asked if I could get my parking pass because I figurered I wouldn’t be able to get my room until 3, but they had a room available. It was great being able to check in at 10 am. I would definitely use this hotel again. Hot breakfast was so-​so. Suzanne

Pretty good for the price paid if you excuse the construction. Large rooms but the bathroom is rather small. Friendly staff!

Upon arrival, the room was a mess. The linens were dirty with blood on them. .. clearly the maid service doesn’t clean but they collect a paycheck. Luckily the night desk manager helped and replaced all linens (bath and bedding). HE was the best thing about this hotel. The bathroom was dirty tub unclean with the previous resident’s hair all over the tub and bath floor. They claim you have an ocean front view BUT its’ just a slither of the beach because all you really see are the other hotels across from the Clarion. DO NOT GO TO THIS INN no matter what. The service sucks and most likely your room is NOT clean.

Doesn’t get much worse. Here is the short list:
1.hallways have a sickening smell
2.Our room was not fully clean when we arrived.
3.On day two of our stay — 4:30pm came and went — no housekeeping visit at all. Called the front desk to explain that we needed toliet tissue, towels, trash emptied, etc. They said housekeeping should be coming by soon. 5:30 came and went — told the front desk. They stated all housekeeping staff had left for the day. No lie. So we got zero housekeeping that day but they did manage to get us towels and toilet paper. At this point we were just grateful for the small things
4.Pool is under shade most of the summer afternoons.
5.On check out day — we waited for the elevator for over 15 minutes (we were on the second floor). Remember how I mentioned earlier in the review how bad the hallways smelled? It was the longest 15 minutes of our life. We eventually gave up and took our lives into our own hands to transport our baby (and stroller) down a few flight of stairs with all of our luggage in tow.
6.Constant hounding by «concierges» to sell us «resort tours»
7.Breakfast is decent (that is about all I can say positive)

Rooms were mucky, smelly, and filthy upon arrival. Few places to park, and if you have more than one car, it costs extra. The pool is suspiciously cloudy and the pool deck compliments it with trash and dirty chairs and tables. The towels in the bathrooms were disgusting, one of them even had a huge blood stain on it, as well as pubic hair all over every towel. The AC unit in our room had mildew and dust all over it.
The breakfast was the only reason this got more than one star. Everything you can expect from a cheap hotel: self-​made breakfast with decent flavor. Despite how packed it was and how there was not enough seating in the breakfast area, the food was surprisingly tolerable.

My stay was very nice. I stayed in a 2 queen suite with a pullout sofa. The room was very spacious and fit me and the rest of the 5 people I was with comfortably. The bathroom was very small however. The only downfall of the room was the dim lighting. The room was very dark and hard trying to do my makeup. The frig was big like a college dorm frig and the microwave worked properly. Overall I would Def stay here again.

Clarion says that they are a pet friendly hotel, I would argue to say that you simply accept pets but are not pet «friendly». The $ 60 charge is ridiculous and you put those guests on the 2^nd floor with absolutely NO view at all (there is a wall in front of the window). In addition, we had to unplug the alarm clock because it was constantly buzzing, the window a/​c is so loud you could barely sleep and it was disgustingly dirty. The carpet had not been cleaned in years, the bathroom was microscopic and the beds were very uncomfortable. I would much rather take my money to LaQuinta who appreciates their furry guests, doesnt charge a fee for them, does not block your window, the rooms are clean and the price is HALF of Clarion. We will NEVER be back.

This hotel sits across the street from the boardwalk and claims you get a «oceanfront view». I can see the ocean but it still across the street and have to look at another hotel.
Besides that, I can’t complain about the hotel. The hotel has ample amount of parking, fitness center, business center, conference room, free breakfast and free wifi.
I didn’t eat at the free breakfast so can’t say anything about that.
The rooms was very big with a microwave and fridge. The bathroom was on the small side and wish that it could have been bigger.
The beds were decent and they had a lot of pillows (goose feather!!) which was a bonus for my husband.
The staff was extremely nice and helpful.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The price is very reasonable. Although, this hotel is not oceanfront. The description on the website for this hotel is a bit misleading. The free breakfast is pretty good.
The bathroom is a bit small. The room could have used a good vacuuming. The dresser was all beat up on the bottom. When I went to move the foot rest for the couch, one of the legs fell right off. And when I opened the desk drawer, the handle fell off in my hand.
The bed was very comfortable. There is a small pool but it is not heated although it is open in October.
I don’t think this hotel is horrible but it’s certainly not the best.
