Clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced for the offside of the ocean drive. Recently renovated. Nothing fancy but microwave and refrig in room. Beach front and access right across road. Two blocks from pancake house and many other restaurants nearby. Some sections have view of ocean.

Stayed here for the Shamrock marathon. It was between the finish line and the start line. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. Close walk to the beach (half a block) and near some god restaurants. Will stay there again next year.

I booked this hotel with the only purpose to participate in the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon (March 17/2013). Location for this couldn't be better. It is more a motel, but with a good pair of ear plugs and eye mask you can get enough rest to be ready for the next day. Staff was very, very friendly and helpful.

We stayed at the Royal Clipper during the season opening weekend.. which was also the Shamrock Marathon weekend. The positives included the price, location very near the race start and finish of the races, the kitchen, and general layout of the room, and the offer of a late check-out for runners. The front desk understood the need for a shower... More

Stayed with my daughter for the Shamrock Marathon. All of the other reviewers are accurate in their descriptions that the outside of the hotel looks little rundown but the rooms are quite acceptable.

While the Royal Clipper seems like a typical shore motel on the outside, the inside has the feel of a typical hotel. The room was clean (and seemingly recently renovated), had the typical amenities (fridge, microwave, free wifi, and a DVD player), and offered free parking in the front and back of the hotel. While the room was pleasant, there... More

for the price is was clean and worked!! You actually could see the beach across the street. Easy to walk everywhere. What made it especially stand out to me is the manager. He really listened and if you had a concern he would do what he could to help. He really was very helpful and friendly.

We stayed at the Royal Clipper Inn in VA Beach for 2 nights. The room was clean and acceptable. It is not a 5 star, but we didn't pay a 5 star price. Loved Dante! He was there at check in and check out. We had no problems. The only downside was also a plus. The bus stop was right... More

People need to keep in mind this is not a 4-star hotel, it is a 2-star. If you are expecting the Hilton, then you will be disappointed. Our mini-vacay got off to a bad start (thank you VA Police Officer)...but the management was friendly, helpful, and wanted to make sure our stay was a pleasant one. Any problem we had... More
