What guests think

Across recent reviews, Clarion Hotel & Conference Center Toms River is praised for clean rooms, friendly, accommodating staff, a convenient base for the Jersey Shore, and popular amenities like the outdoor pool and a lively on-site bar and restaurant.

Common drawbacks include an older building without elevator access to some second-floor rooms, occasional noise from events or adjacent rooms, intermittent musty odors or dampness, and dated elements like aging TVs or low fixtures. Breakfast and dining reviews are mixed, with some praising quality and bar entertainment, while others cite extra cost, limited hours, or uneven food. A few guests found the entrance hard to spot along the highway. Expect a well-run stay with lively amenities and a few trade-offs.

Enjoyed the property. Not a lot of people so pool was fairly quiet most of the time that I saw. Front desk was very helpful and let me check in very early as I arrived sooner than I thought. Only 20 minutes drive from Seaside Beach and boardwalk and since I have a small kid, I went with the comfort of being in a hotel rather than a rundown beach motel. Would definitely stay again

We were in town for a funeral. The hotel was close to downtown, so it was convenient to where we needed to be. It's an older hotel. Was surprised there was no elevator to the second floor. Not a problem, but surprising. Restaurant was small, food and service good.

The hotel is a little overpriced but it is high season. They have a fairly decent gastropub on the premises. The pool is standard but clean and the grounds are well maintained. The location is off a major roadway and is surrounded by myriad strip malls. The room had a jacuzzi tub and the bed was comfortable. I would give it a solid “B”. The standout was the staff. Everyone was cheerful, friendly, helpful, and accommodating. One of the better hotel staff (s) I have encountered in recent memory. It really does make a difference.

We booked this hotel for a dance competition we were attending for the weekend . The hotel was fully booked , but hotel was able to accommodate guests accordingly, the onsite bar has entertainment all weekend with bar style food to be served with kitchen up till midnight. Reasonable priced drinks and food. House keeping did a great job . Room was very nice . My only negative response is the size of the pillows in the beds . They are the size of throw pillows with that was my only complaint.

We stayed in room 206. It was very clean and quiet. My wife felt the bed was too soft (personal preference). Don't laugh but the toilet was old style and very low to the ground. A senior with leg or hip issues would find sitting and rising very difficult. We were mostly out and about and the room worked for us.

Although the room was very clean it did have a musty odor. The price was over 200 for the night and I felt it was overpriced for the condition. The lack of accommodations in the area no doubt explains the high price.

Anytime we are traveling to NJ we always stay at this hotel. And it has never disappointed us. Everyone is very nice and helpful, we are not "high demand" family, but safety and cleanness are a must, and this hotel check marks both categories.

Super nice staff! But the smell of the hallways is very strong. Rooms are fine but when you get on the 2nd floor it's just so ripe! Do some sage or candles or air freshener treatment up there and it would do a world of good. Other than that, a great spot.

Located near beaches and off of the main road so there was not traffic noise. Our room was the 2 queens and was spacious. It’s an older hotel but they renovated things pretty well. Check to make sure you’re room is on the first floor if you can’t do steps as our 2nd floor room was accessible by steps only.
