It is so beautiful here and extremely clean. The hotel overlooks a gorgeous bay/marina area and is overall super quiet despite it being next to a busy-ish road. Both the individuals who run this place are extremely kind and offer to cook breakfast each morning for their customers. Unfortunately I was unable to take this offer as I got brunch with different family members, but I'm sure it would be fantastic. Please do contribute to their business! They are both very hard workers. P.S. - there is also an adorable dog here.

From…read morethe day I arrived, Bill and Linda were incredibly welcoming and always went out of their way to make sure everything was taken care of. The inn is clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The breakfasts were excellent and one of the many things that made staying here such a great experience. The location is also hard to beat-- a 2 block walk to the beach and a short drive to Main Street, making it easy to enjoy everything Belmar has to offer. What stood out most to me was the hospitality. Staying somewhere for nearly a month gives you a much different perspective than a quick weekend trip, and throughout my entire stay Bill and Linda consistently made me feel welcome and appreciated. Thank you both for making my extended stay feel like home. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend the Inn at the Shore to anyone visiting the area. 10/10.

My party attended for the first time and were seated outside on the porch. It was a great night to be outdoors and the entertainment by Bobby Knee was terrific. He played tunes by Billy Joel, James Taylor and Louis Armstrong, to name a few. This is a byob which is always plus. The service was a bit slow. We waited quite a while for our dinner. I didn't mind but others in my party noticed. The bread plate was nice and warm. The shrimp appetizer was tasty. Our dinners came with mixed reviews. Two of us had the mahi mahi and it was just ok. A bit dry and flavorless. Two had the lamb and enjoyed. And another had the sea bass and enjoyed. There is no dedicated parking for the hotel so allow time to find a space.

At about 9pm, during a heavy rain, there was a leak from our bathroom ceiling. Called the front desk to change rooms. Two minutes later, I was at the front desk, an older blonde lady arrived 10 minutes later carrying free food from a banquet room party. Extremely rude, asked me "what do you want?" The washing machines have a sign that say coins available at the front desk. Around 7pm I went to the front desk, remember open 24/7, the desk was empty. I went into the bar to wait. The brown haired lady working the front desk was in the bar. Not for a quick coke, she was sitting in the bar for 40 minutes, with her back to the front desk, chatting away like she was off work. Never knew she was working until a customer started tapping on the counter and she eventually, turned around and headed to the front desk. The $10 continental breakfast is significantly worse than last year. Scrambled eggs, sausage links, and French toast. Bagels that were cut half way through. A scary guy watched us eat as we were the only two in the eating area. It's $10, you could have got a better breakfast at Wawa for cheaper. After the first day, we did. Housekeeping, was more focused on cleaning the empty rooms. We used housecleaning once in our 7 day stay. They didn't finish our room until 5pm. We waited in the hallway for 20 minutes until they finished. Only one housekeeper working that day on our floor. Boogie nights are Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Good luck sleeping if your room is above the bar. Let's not forget the constant hum of the ac units on the roof. I cut my stay by one day because of the service. Bottom line, the Clarion in Toms River used to be a nice place to stay. New management made changes that caused me to seek other arrangements. I will say, there are two people worth mentioning. Both on the day crew. An older gentleman and a brunette lady. Both highly professional and customer service oriented. If I were to stay at the Clarion again, it would be because of these two. Great job to them.

This would have been so helpful to stay here to take my in laws to and from the baptism which is local so now we are having to book towns over.

We went to the food truck festival at the winery and John the general manager offered to drive us and bring us back. We met Darcie his wife who was always working in the garden and they looked beautiful. My only complaint is they didn't come in the room and give us fresh towels but we made a call to the inn keeper and she promptly showed up with clean towels. I found it weird they don't check when you stay a few days. We will definitely stay here again and enjoy the winery.
