We have been staying at the Clamdigger for 35 years. We love it. All the rooms are oceanfront. At night they turn on the spot light on the ocean and the sea gulls flock to the water (in winter mostly). It's not unusual to see the dolphins pass by about 8 a.m. and about 4 pm each day! The food... more

I rated this hotel above average as my husband and I really did have a very pleasant and comfortable stay at the Clam Digger Inn. This hotel is direct oceanfront and all the rooms have a balcony. What could be nicer than that! To make matters even nicer we had a full moon over the ocean to enjoy. This hotel... more

I have stayed here recently many many times over the years. The two nights I stayed will probably be my last time. We encountered a roach infestation during the last night I was there. It was so bad, I had one on my arm as I dozed off to sleep. I did not have a very restful night after that.... more

OK, it's an older hotel that sits oceanfront, so there are going to be signs of exterior wear and tear due to the salt air and winds. If you understand before hand that it isn't a brand new 5 star hotel, and don't expect it to be, then I think you'll be pleased with your stay. All rooms are oceanfront... more

I just returned from a 3 day stay at the Clam Digger. I read all of the reviews before I went and knew it was an older property, but believe it to be clean. Well needless to say I will not be staying there again. The front desk staff was not overly friendly at check in, but it was busy... more

The best time to visit the hotel itself is in the off season unless you don't mind parking in the street. The restaurant was the worst part of the hotel experience. I recommend eating elsewhere for the price. I ordered the Shrimp Newburg for $19.95. In an area where you can drive down the street and buy a pound of... more

After scouring the internet for reviews on Atlantic Beach hotels, we decided on the Clam Digger Inn. Located in a quiet part of Pine Knoll Shores, it had the largest amount of positive reviews among the hotels we looked at. I'm pleased to write that the reviews were very accurate and we were extremely pleased with our stay at the... more

We absolutely loved our stay. Everyone was very friendly, the rooms were clean, the bar and lounge is a plus at night and Jimmy the bartender makes the best drinks. The restaurant was just ok but The Channel Marker Restaurant by the bridge was our favorite and second was DJ Shooters about 5 miles down the road. The pool was... more

The good things I can say about the Clamdigger Inn is that the staff were very friendly, the parking was plentiful and the location was great! While we were there, the parking lot was being resurfaced and it looked great. The negatives about the Clamdigger Inn were the cleanliness of the bathroom and the bed. The bathroom was not as... more
