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 The staff was very friendly literally everything was outdated/ broken: - Several rooms had broken door locks - The room key card came in a piece of paper with handwritten notes because the printer did not work - No lights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.

It was disgusting, the room was barely breathable it reeked of mold! The shower’s nozzle was broken off into the tub and also had no shower curtain. The fridge had rust all over in and there was dust and mold everywhere! Not to mention the pool was green! I didnt even stay, I walked out asked for a refund, with the hotel and despite the confirmation of the cancellation I still never got my refund and its been 10 days!

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.
