Rooms were good enough. Didn’t changed the bed linings and cleanings as promised. The worst is the customer service. Breakfast was all packaged except yoghurt/milk. Fruits look like it was kept for display. Not recommended. Don’t want to visit again.

The room was clean and smelled good. The woman front desk worker during the day attitude was not nice or friendly. Due to the way, she spoke to people she is very rude. The man front desk worker at night had the correct attitude. He was very nice and friendly. The pool was not open, yet. I am not sure if the Clarion Inn is pet-friendly or not because we did not have a pet and we did not hear or see anyone with pets.

Warning: do NOT stay in this dungeon. The staff at the front desk, while very friendly, could barely communicate in English - not a big deal. The property is another matter: the first thing I noticed was the grime and wear & tear everywhere. I could see daylight around the front door, stains on the walls, the table in the room had a broken leg and was just jammed against the wall, toilet seat was broken, burns on the tub, a towel bar barely hanging on, television wouldn’t work until I manually reset the controls and, most frustrating of all, NO ICE MACHINES. The complementary breakfast is pathetic. This hotel is a fleabag.

Property was very dirty, it had German roaches all over my room, and a white powder spilled all next to the entertainment stand. The bathtub did not work at all and to top it all off the pictures online looks nothing like how it actually is. For the most part i'm a low maintenance traveler but when literally nothing works and is also falsely advertised that's a problem.

This was the second worst stay I have ever had. First the photos look NOTHING like in person. The room smelled, the linens were dirty and the comforter had a pee stain on it. Reception was not welcoming and no sugar or creamer in the coffee area. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. Some strange man even came knocking on our door saying he left a phone charger in our room. Worst experience!!!!
