My wife and I have come to this motel several times in the past couple years, and I have to admit, every time we've come back, it's been nicer. We've stayed in the 2 double rooms (front side of building) and suites (backside). For the quality, cleanliness, and friendly staff, it's legitimately unbeatable. We just stayed the night there this past weekend, and have noticed they've recently upgraded the amenities. The beds, furniture, and TV have all been replaced with newer pieces, and the bathrooms remodeled with new showertubs. It's not beach front, but being directly across the street from the 36th st beach access, its a no-brainer to save hundreds of bucks (compared to one of the big name brand hotels). All together, we've always been satisfied for the past 4 years we've come to Va Beach and stayed in the Royal Clipper, and every year they've raised the bar. Highly recommended for those who want the best bang for their buck. Also, if you're looking for a quieter area, this is the place to be. Pocohontas Pancakes is just a block away, and a great place to hit up early for delicious breakfast.
