All the negative reviews on this hotel are correct. There is a hotel almost across the street from this one that is much, much nicer. Staff at both hotels told us both hotels are owned by the same person. This Clarion is an eyesore. The parking lot is just awful. Carpeting and rooms are very, VERY dated. The entire hallway... More

We had to go to the store to buy cleaning probducts to clean the bathroom as soon as we arrived! This hotel is in need of some TLC which is fine but you can not give people DIRTY ROOMS! That was disgusting!!!! Send your cleaners back to school and have the pool open when it's supposed be........won't be coming back... More

Run-down, in desperate need of renovations, and potholes in the driveway the size of Ohio. Look up a local B&B before you stay here. More

Stayed one night Columbus Day weekend. This hotel is not as bad as all the reviews make it out to be. Hotel parking lot does need repaving, it is full of numerous large pot holes. Upon check in we were told they are in the process of working on the parking lot. Bed was comfortable and room was in overall... More

The on line pictures must have been taken when they built this hotel.. It smelled horrible and there were stains every where. I walked in the building and was already highly disappointed. I asked to see the room before my stay and thank god I did. There were stains on the carpet. The ceiling was falling apart and the smell... More

The lobby and conference rooms are nice. The guest rooms aren't bad, but the hallways and parking lots are horrible! The hall ways are smoke filled and dirty. I hope they do some major updates. More

This place was so nasty I wanted to cry. It was the only available this weekend. We came from out of town so we were stuck. I am telling you it is the most disgusting thing I have ever experienced in my life. I almost feel like sleeping outside would have felt cleaner. I am dead serious! There was never... More

We needed a room for one night with short notice and I chose the Clarion due to every other hotel was booked in Ithaca, plus we didn't read the reviews since we recently stayed at a Comfort Inn which is part of the same Choice Hotel Group and thought we would get the same quality hotel. Man was I ever... More

First off, the outside is full of potholes. My dads car now needs a realignment. It had rained the day before and we could not see how deep the potholes were. My dad drives a suburban and it almost tipped over. We were told to use the back steps to get to our room after we checked in. They were... More
