Kids love the indoor pool and arcade area. Lots of sitting areas to visit with others outside your own room. Nice breakfast. Staff friendly. Good value. More

I have stayed at this hotel several times over the years, when it was a Holiday Inn, then a Garden Inn and now a Clarion. The most recent stays were the last two weekends in November (travelling thru for Thanksgiving). I always request a room in the Executive Wing, since these units have been remodeled and have much nicer bedding,... More

The kids love the pool, mainly the slide. If it wasn't for them, we'd probably stay somewhere else. This Hotel does need remodeling. There was mold on the ceiling in our bathroom and our blanket had a hole that was hand sewn back together. But on a light note, The staff has always been friendly to us and the beds... More

Nice property with lots of potential. However, room was dirty (moldy bathroom). Lobby was always dark and forbidding. Business center and fitness room were in disrepair (broken equipment and dirty). WiFi was slow and weak. More

Stayed at this property in August 2011. Obviously, this was once a member of another chain since it had the "dome" associated with indoor pools of that chain. Now, as a Clarion property, it is showing its age; paint needs touching up on interior doors, canopy area in front of entrance needs cleaning, and the lighting in the interior dome... More

I had to take pictures of my room, just so I could show people the condition of our room! The carpet was in shreds, the bathtub was BLACK we couldn't use it. The room smelled horribly of smoke, there were people sitting outside their rooms in lawn chairs, and a man was brushing his teeth outside. I thought Clarion Hotels... More

I attended a recent business meeting at this hotel. My first impression of the hotel was not good. It looked like a Motel 6 and was quite run down on the exterior. I entered the lobby and immediately noticed what appeared to be a homeless man sitting on a cart with a large picture tube television covered in dust. I'm... More

Convenient to I-40 with several restaurants in the area. Staff was courteous and professional. Rooms clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Stayed there on a Monday night, so was fairly quiet with mostly business travelers, but pool was full of children. Hotel staff made a point to come check that all children were accompanied by an adult (which they were). More

Unusual layout. Hotel was a dichotomy. Real glasses and cups in room, comfortable pillowtop mattress, choice of pillow types, a little nicer than average towels for this price range, mini-fridge with separate freezer. Old carpeting, very poor drainage in tub when taking a shower, no microwave, fridge unplugged and water standing in freezer section. Window for room was on central... More

I'm currently in the middle of my stay at the clarion inn and I'm genuinely happy. I had to come up here for work and the hotel is right beside the office. So far I've been very happy with my stay. The room is spacious (two queen beds smoking on the outside corridor) and has everything I needed including table... More
