Clarion Inn Surfrider Resort

Dated property without functioning ice machines, w/d and soda machine. Fixtures missing in room. Shower fixture opposite temperature. Pluses: Had gas fireplace on for us when we arrived late.

Coastal get a way The Clarion Surfrider may be a bit of an older establishment and worn in spots but cleanliness & comfortable surroundings can be found here. The bed was comfortable, plenty of towels and a spacious room with a beautiful view of the ocean. Also a private stairway to the beach below.

We’ve stayed there a few times over the years. The location is fantastic, the property is looking long in the tooth. Restaurants closed. Litter around the rooms. We’re wondering if a major remodel is in the works.

This property is being squeezed for its very life. When we drove up, we looked at one another In disbelief. The property is in poor condition and it’s obvious owners don’t care and aren’t even trying to maintain the “resort” at all. At nearly $300 per night, the condition was reprehensible. Staff is friendly, but greets you with a diatribe of what is no longer available or open (restaurant, hot tub, sauna) and that the property was supposed to have been razed a year ago, but here we are. We were told that they knew all the websites out there were wrong about what was going on with the resort, but they couldn’t get them changed. In the room, broken countertops, scarred flooring, stained and torn upholstery, damaged fireplace, cracked drywall…and much more. We were afraid to use the balcony. No housekeeping service during the stay. Linens and towels unworthy of the $300 a night price tag. Outside you had to use steep/rickety stairs. The one constant that didn’t disappoint: the ocean was right THERE. We could see and hear it. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, access to the beach was unsafe. Clarion should be ashamed for the condition of this resort. It was once a nice place to stay.

The views are amazing It is a.great place to stay with amazing views. I was able to whale watch from the back deck. It's an older place, so not up to date. Beach access just down the stairway. I enjoy these older classic inn's. The new high rises aren't quite the same, no nature just concrete and parking lots. I was sad to learn that this place may be getting torn down for a rebuild, the feel just won't be the same. If there's a new resort I hope it remains family and pet friendly.

This Property was cheap for a reason. There is so much wear and tear around the property itself and in the rooms. According to staff the reason for this is because they plan to demo the property next year and build something else in its stead.
