From the first front desk girl who didn't give us proper directions, this Clarion disappoints in every way. We dragged all our luggage around the entire place outside, upstairs (there are NO elevators unless you are in "Executive Suite" area) to find our room opened right to the parking lot. We returned to say we didn't feel safe and wanted... More

Outdoor pool had not opened for the season yet but we had a great time at the indoor pool and slide. Very nice hot tub also. Staff was super helpful. I did laundry there and provided the soap! Breakfast was incredible--a full on hot breakfast buffet that would rival any restaurant. Rooms were clean quiet and comfortable.

I got there about 9:45pm or so, checked in and it took a while. I was sent to a secure parking area, but not one space left, so I had to find alternative space, the area was obviously dangerous. I was unpacking my car and moving stuff around, very tired and really not watching my back. A "good Samaritan" had... More

We stayed at this hotel...it was lovely. The personnel were wonderful especially Tiara. This hotel had an area for adults and one for children. The pool was nice and it had a restaurant, bar, exercise room and computer room. We were there for a weekend and I would have loved to stay much longer.

We planned some outdoor activities in the area (hiking, geocaching, and after our stay we were headed backcountry camping at Fall Creek Falls) and just needed an inexpensive place to rest, shower, and store gear while we were out enjoying nature - we did not plan to spend much time at the hotel... The hotel is a challenge to get... More

Clustered around the interstate are many chain hotels and restaurants. The Clarion Inn has an indoor pool and an attached restaurant/bar. Food is your typical sports bar fare with karaoke on Thursday night. (Reminder, you can smoke in bars in Tennessee) Front desk staff was helpful. Free parking.

Love the indoor pool. The sports bar was very entertaining and the best wings I've had in a while. Melissa our bartender took very good care of us I would definitely recommend staying here if your passing through or even if I was a local I believe I would make an excuse to stop by and visit the pool.
