Please do not stay here. The hotel itself is dirty and the smell is terrible. There was no staff to help out either. Questionable people were hanging around outside blocking the entrance when we tried to get to our room. It’s very unfortunate, I will never stay here ever again. There is a reason why it is so cheap compared to other hotels in the area.

We went up to a room that was never cleaned from the previous guest. Then we were told the only other room was one with a king size bed. We had asked for two double beds. We were told if we did not like it we can go elsewhere. As we were standing there another guest canceled and gave us the room. We decided to stay only because all the hotels were booked for the College.

I was very unsatisfied with my stay at the Clarion Inn & Suites University Area this weekend. I understand that I booked the room late and the rates were higher than usual but $250 was way too much for the conditions in room 108: - the room smelled damp at arrival (approx. 11:30pm) - the floor towel in the bathroom was still wet - was it even replaced after the last guest? - the bathtub faucet dripped all night - the toilet refilled every 20-30 minutes - faulty seal? - the A/C was inadequate; even when I turned the temp down it never got any cooler and there was no difference between low, medium and high on the fan. - everything in the room felt damp in the morning including our clothes. I have stayed at Clarion establishments in the past and had much better experiences. This might just be a one-off but the issues should be addressed for future guests.

Nice front desk person. On my arrival I had a bag of chips, pretzels, few cookies and two bottles of water as a Welcome gift in my room. Next day a Graduation Bear was left in my room because I was there for graduation of my child. Property is not new but people are working hard to keep it nice. The surrounding area is not a fault of the property owner and it’s not pretty.

Comfortable beds and nice-sized rooms that were clean. I liked the fact that it adjoins the Perkins restaurant. I will happily recommend this hotel. The area surrounding the hotel is a bit depressing, but the location is good as it provides quick access to Homer and Cortland.

The fitness center is basically unusable. It had no water. There were two treadmills: one would not start at all, and the other was so jerky it was unsafe and I almost fell off. There are two stationary bikes, but they have no power so you can't have any resistance. There are no mats for floorwork. The only thing that worked in the fitness center was the TV! Our room's coffee maker did not work. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The hotel has no elevator! The entrance to the front desk is only a few feet from the dumpster of a nearby Perkins! The staff was friendly, but we were not impressed with this hotel.
