The Clam Digger is a great place to stay if you want to park your car and not have to get in it again for the duration of your stay. I just stayed for the weekend with family and freinds to celebrate by 30th birthday and Mother's Day. The restaurant is great, especially the breakfast, and it is reasonably priced.... More

After a long journey it was just lovely to arrive at a very reasonably priced hotel that is smack on the beach. The room is spacious and very clean. We has our own balcony and was able to leave the door open and listen to the crashing waves of a night time.

This is truly a beautiful spot. Right on the ocean, nothing but beach to walk on. Great views at night of moon and sunrise. Restaurant was very good. Rooms were adequate in size and amenities (coffee maker, mini fridge). Slider opens up to a patio overlooking the beach. Hot tub was nice, however the pool was very cold. Bathrooms are... More

We would have loved to stay at the Clamdigger Inn because it had mostly good reviews and it seems the view cannot be beat for the price. Unfortunately we will NOT be staying at this property due to encountering some shockingly terrible customer service BEFORE even arriving! I booked my reservation months in advance and informed the agent that I... More

I stayed at this hotel the end of April, first couple of days of May 2013. I was in room 708 which is on the top floor right as you get off of the elevator. The view was great from the balcony. The room was a little dated and reminded me a bit of a throwback hotel from the 70's.... More

I've been coming here since it was a Ramada and it seems to get better over time. It's small, all the rooms are oceanfront with balconies, the restaurant has some of the best seafood around and a bar that's cozy and usually quiet. The lunch specials save you the trouble of getting out to find a meal and the value... More

If all it takes to satisfy you is a low priced, clean room on the beach, this hotel will suit you perfectly. For business, it will do just fine, if you don't need effective WiFi. I have 48 different hotel properties on my "connect to" list, and this is the worst I have ever attempted to use. Slow ... to... More

My husband surprised me with a stay here for my birthday. It was the perfect beach get-a-way. As others have mentioned the hotel is dated, however at the beach unless you knock down and start over things will not be as "crisp." With that being said, they do not charge outlandish prices either. This is a ocean side, ocean front... More

This is one of the few properties in the area where the hotel is located with a true Oceanfront view. You could not ask for a more spectacular view of the ocean or to be any closer. All of the rooms are Oceanfront. The hotel met every expectation for the price range that it is in. Yes, it is a... More

We live nearby and always wanted to try one of their room/meal off-season deals. This weekend we finally did. And it was fun. First of all, the rooms have great ocean views--it feels almost like being on a boat. Watching the sea change colors and all the activities n the beach beats TV! Our room was fine, the bed comfy...
