Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property should be condemned. I booked 2 rooms and time constraints which did not allow me to move to another hotel. I looked at 6 rooms before I found ones which were barely habitable. The linens were dingy. Towels were worn out. 2 electrical outlets did not work of which one was connected to the refrigerator & microwave which did not work. The other one was for the hair dryer which did not work and the outlet did not work. The upholstered chair was ragged and disgusting with a collapsed cushion. Some of the texture of ceiling was falling off. There was no remote control for the TV so I don't know if it worked or not. I mistakenly opened a dresser drawer only to find 6 empty beer cans. I don't know what was with the peep hole as toilet paper was stuffed into it. The bathroom had rust stains from the fixtures in the tub along with mold and mildew. The carpet was filthy. The black out curtains had mildew on them. All this for $249 per night plus taxes. That was my room #221. The 2nd room, #315, was occupied by my guests and was pretty much the same. They were out of there before sunrise & probably have PTSD from their stay. It was another $249 plus taxes. Don't let me even get started on the exterior of the building which is in total dis-repair along with the empty pool. They didn't even have ice. TRAVELOCITY and CLARION YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!! I have plenty of pictures I can share if you would like to verify. Worst hotel stay in 40 yr

Avoid if possible - rundown
Very rundown hotel. The staff was very friendly literally everything was outdated/ broken: - Several rooms had broken door locks - The room key card came in a piece of paper with handwritten notes because the printer did not work - No lights turned on in room except in bathroom - Faucet handle in shower came off (though water was OK) - Even the batteries of the TV were empty - Pool area did not look inviting Cleanliness was also a concern. I was told they were aware and just trying to turn it around. I was glad it was only for a night and I would not recommend it.

The room was very dark and very smelly even though it was a non-smoking room. The hair dryer was broken, and I saw small and medium size roaches. It’s better than sleeping on the street though.

This place is filthy, I had to go to the walmart store and buy sheets a blanket pillow covers and air fresheners because the moment I stepped inside the room, its like it hadn’t been cleaned for ever, the pillows were filthy and yellowish color, same thing with the bed sheets it had other peoples hair on it, definitely not cleaned from the previous guest, there is hardly any maintenance done on it, pool looks green, but the staff are really friendly, and the man at the lobby is very friendly, but honestly apart from that, I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THAT PLACE

No Cable for your room & weird service.
Very disappointed. No cable the operator gave me the key to someone else’s room and told me that i could use that room if needed then it gets worse i went there because i didn’t have a remote for my tv and he had my remote, then it only had 1 channel. And the room itself was so run down i couldn’t invite anyone over. Waste of my money not impressed

I didn’t like anything about our stay at this hotel. I was traveling with my daughter and two grandchildren. I chose this hotel based on their website pictures and the fact that there was a swimming pool. There was mold on the ceiling of our room. It was supposed to be a none smoking room, yet there were cigarette burns on the chair in the room. The pool was not open and it was filthy! I wish I could attach pictures. The manager did give us another room, which was cleaner. But I would not recommend this hotel to anyone! Expedia should not book anyone in this hotel. It should be reported as an unsafe place to stay.

GM checked us in late afternoon. Very friendly, helpful and obviously short handed. Carpet was old and stained. Tile at the tub faucet was broken so showering pours water into the wall. Then, hot water would not turn off. A call to the front desk was answered with "there was no one to address the problem". Towels (not blocking the drain) helped a little with the noise when and door closed. Of course, the sauna then accelerated the mold growth behind the bathroom door. I provided pictures by email to the manager. My very first job was front desk at this hotel in the 70s. Sad to see the deterioration, especially with the name Clarion on it now. The beds were comfortable.
