Nice older style hotel, beachfront view.

My new favourite Morecambe hotel. Stayed here twice now, should have tried it earlier. This is an older hotel, not slick and modern, so quirky, and the facilities are more basic, and may not suit you if you prefer modernity (try the Midland, and then pay for it!). More space in the rooms than many other hotels close by. Friendly staff, nice bar, a little quiet, which is fine by me, as there's a busy bar downstairs in the basement. Decent breakfast at a reasonable price

A December night in Morecambe.

We stayed at the Clarenden for one night. Communication leading up to the stay was excellent. The hotel was traditional with original features but comfortable for the modern guest. The room was quite small but comfortable and clean. It was a very cold night leading up to the recent storm and the room was quite cold. Apart from that it was a very pleasant stay.

We have stayed here lots of times in the past but this time it was very disappointing . The room was clean but had an odour about it ,the. Curtains were poorly fitted . The tv could only receive one channel . We mentioned it to reception on our way out and returned to the one channel ? Generally the friendly , helpful , warm atmosphere was absent .

Tired old hotel, slow checkin, shower a trickle, excellent location however. Breakfast low quality so I left that, coffee stone cold. Cheap hotel, but cheap quality is what you get.

We had a lovely stay at the Clarendon Hotel. The breakfast is well worth it. Generally quite clean rooms. The wifi isn't the best, the shower pressure is less than desirable. However the beautiful views and friendly atmosphere definitely makes up for it. The surrounding streets sometimes feel a little unsafe so I wouldn't let my children out on their own.

There was a miscommunication between Expedia and the hotel, as a result my room was double booked. However, Ody the night porter was an absolute star and sorted it all out. A clean room, just as expected. Thanks Ody!!!!

Cheap and reasonable

Hotel is ok, if a little basic. No restaurant although there are plenty of places within a walk. It does have a bar but the Davy Locker bar next door is open later and has much better choice. Staff were excellent - the breakfast however is something to avoid

Victorian hotel right on the seafront with views over the beach, bay and Lake District. The property has obviously had a lot of work done to modernise it with smart furniture and comfy beds although it shows its age in some parts of the fabric of the building. The area around the hotel is not the best part of town, and is a walk from the town centre.

Great hotel. Good points Lovely big room. Sea views Free parking Friendly staff Black out curtains Only small bad point for me is that the beds were a bit hard. That's just my personal opinion though.

Brilliant hotel.

Me, my husband and our youngest son (age11) stayed for one night. The room was large, there was plenty storage in the room. The bed was very comfortable and big, our son said the double sofa bed was the same. The view of Morecambe Bay from our room was fantastic. The staff were very helpful. We didn’t eat in the hotel, we decided to eat out. Would definitely stay again.
