The hotel itself is extremely run down. The carpet in the hallways is filthy, with many bleach stains throughout. The paint on the walls is peeling and chipped all over, and I mean every wall that’s not located in the lobby area. The lobby area looks clean and inviting, the bar/restaurant looked clean from the lobby. However just past the lobby is where it’s all downhill. I’m accustomed to traveling and staying in mid-grade chain hotels, saving a little money so we can splurge elsewhere on our vacation. However, I think staying in the “hotel chains I won’t ever visit again” such as Rodeway or Travellodge, or even Motel 6 might have been better in this area. The Clarion was extremely disappointing. The carpet in the room, stained, the lampshades, stained, the bathroom toilet paper holder was literally a pen stuck inside the roll. The sheets were clean, the mattress looked ok, the white comforter had chew holes in it that I noticed on our second day. When packing our car after checking out, I noticed a room with a heaving stained mattress propped up against the wall inside, curtains opened up. Super sketchy and gross. Also the indoor pool was filled with dirt and a scummy looking film on the top. I gave it a shot, telling myself I got what I paid for, but truthfully it’s not even close to a safe or clean stay and I’m really not a snob about hotels. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if traveling with your family. Now I get to wash everything and worry about bugs.
