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.

Liked: Amenities
The rooms overall were sufficent and the food was good. The bathrooms could use work- there were no fans to control the humidity and the shower curtain needed to be replaced. The beds were pretty stiff for my liking but the price was right and the hotel is within walking distance of the ferry.
