Clarion Hotel & Conference Center Toms River

The staff were amazing, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. My dad's 90th birthday was catered here in one of the ballrooms, and it was a wonderful party. The food and service were great. Their breakfast was outstanding too. Couldn't ask for more.

For years, the Ocean County Business Association has held lunch meetings at the Clarion on Rt. 37 in Toms River twice a month. Kevin and Rachel are fantastic and accommodate us in every way. The rate for our recurring meetings is more than reasonable, and we get a good range of very good dishes, plus dessert and drinks. The room is spotless and beautifully set up when we arrive, and we never feel rushed. It's a great venue for business events, group meetings, and private parties.

The staff are very friendly, and for New Jersey, where hotel prices are outrageous, this place is pretty decent. The room is basic but works fine, the bed is very good, and everything was clean. The bathroom door is a bit beat up. There's a coffee maker in the bathroom, which seems like an odd spot for it, but at least they have one. Finding the entrance is tricky. It's tucked away, and if you follow Google, you'll drive right past. Once you've found it the first time, you know where to go. Breakfast isn't fancy, but it's okay for the $10 charge. They actually bill $10.66, which makes me think someone here is a history buff.

Thanks to the Clarion for hosting my agency's full staff meeting in its conference rooms last month. The facility is always clean and accommodating, the breakfast was delicious, and the technology worked well. Five stars.
