Clarion Inn Surfrider Resort

First, this is not a resort . It 's a typical run down beach hotel. Don 't let the pictures online fool you!!! These are professionally staged photos and are not a true representation of the rooms or the pool. The room: had an old musty smell, there was hair all over the floor and hair all over in the bathroom. The baseboards had a lot of dust and the fan in the bathroom needed a serious cleaning. Not that I use a hair dryer but there was so much fuzz and dust in it. There is visible rust on many metal fixtures and the sink and toilet are great for people 5 ft or under. The beds sat on untreated plywood and wasn 't even a real bed frame. My bad for not noticing that there was no air conditioning and it was muggy. Our room did over look the beach which was very nice but the deck was sketchy and really needs to be replaced. The pool looks pretty big and luxurious in the photos online. Wrong. Small little pool housed in a sweat box that looks like a greenhouse. The pros. The staff was nice, there was beach access from the hotel and the view from the room. That 's about it.... I ended up spending over 600 for a 2 queen bed room for 2 nights. It 's seriously a 99.00 a night hotel. Not only did I get catfished by the photos but I got ripped off.

It was a beautiful view and the restaurant food was good, the room was okay you can tell they do the bare minimum cleaning as there was dirt and dust on the walls and spots on the walls as well and the door knob had fingerprints all over it. The website advertised that they decorate the room for anniversaries and other occasions but we didn?t get that perk but that wasn?t a big deal. The fireplace in the room was taped off with a note that said it?s not included in our room but it?s summer so no need for it. there?s also no AC in the rooms so it?s very muggy. I?d say for the price we paid for 2 nights in the queen the room wasn?t worth it but it was the middle of summer so everything is more spendy.

Very nice and clean room. We had a beautiful ocean few and we even had a jet tub. The staff was very friendly. The pool was closed and to make up for it the front desk gave us a free drink. It was also awesome that the hotel let's you borrow a free movie and games.

We always love staying at the Surf Rider! It is clean , has amazing view in every room I have stayed in. Easy to check in and out. Beach access to Fogerty beach and free movies! My kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub! I will stay again!

Perfect place for a few days vacation. we come here at least twice a year and love the location. beautiful restaurant before place and eating is quite good. love with fogerty creek park and beach among us. I can't beat the hope. ready again. just wish they have some rooms with kitchenette.
