“Good Accommodations, Great Prices, Excellent Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

We had reservations for a Thanksgiving weekend stay to see family but when dad had a major stroke two days befote our arrival we suddenly HAD to find a place to stay earlier than expected.

It only took one phone call to the hotel and we were set for that very night and through our planned stay. Thanksgiving was a bust but the staff at the hotel made what was an horrific life event more bearable by offering us compassionate, superlative service.

The room was quite comfortable and only a bit dated. Ours was an accessible room with a king bed. I was surprised to see a standard toilet in the bathroom rather than a chair-height, lengthened-bowl commode. While the "loo" was not an issue for us I can see where it might be for someone more disabled than me.

The room did have a nice, new flat screen TV and the free wifi was appreciated, too. The bed was comfortable if a little soft.

Overall, removing the emotional family tragedy, this was a great stay and we'll definitely return. Many thanks to the staff, too!

“Pleasant stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

Very good value for money. I will stay again here for my next visit. Not the fanciest but clean and everything we needed. Front desk staff were nice to chat with and very helpful. I did use the free shuttle to airport and had a time of 9 am to leave for airport and left right on time, did not wait at all.
Breakfast was decent and always had coffee in lobby. Also put out cookies in the evening.
Internet worked fine.
There is also a movie theatre across the street that has $3.00 shows.

“Renovated, But Still Only Marginal”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011

We stayed at the Clarion Hotel in September (2011) while renovations were underway. The hotel room was adequate - but everything about the place was barely adequate.

Pros: Decent breakfast in good sized breakfast room. Refrigerator and microwave in the room. Good guest coin laundry. Helpful, friendly, if somewhat unprofessional desk staff. Maid service was fine. Restaurant next door and other restaurants and convenience stores just a couple of blocks away. Free wifi.

Cons: Some distance from the airport so one will probably have to wait awhile for the shuttle. The property is aging despite the recent improvements.

Got the hotel on Hotwire for a reasonable price, so one can't really complain at that price level.

Room Tip: Select a room in the middle of the building on the north side - away from the freeway and the avenue...

“Great service with great clean hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

When you're dealing with your parents that are in town, it can be very stressful especially catering to their needs. I had them stay here at Clarion in Renton and everything worked out smoothly cause not only was the hotel in great shape, they had great customer service and were very attentive to their needs. Would recommend it if you're looking for a hotel with clean rooms and friendly service!

“Very comfortable beds”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

I saw the reviews for this Clarion Hotel on Trip Advisor & decided to make a reservation. I needed something close to the insane SeaTac airport. Always have to arrive 2+ hrs at the least before a flight b/c of the insane lines for Delta & security!!!!

The hotel had a nice lobby & breakfast room. The decor is pretty ugly & depressing but it was clean. Paid $80./night.

The room had 2 Queen beds. Gotta say the beds were VERY, INCREDIBLY COMFORTABLE!!! I was dreading a 5 hr flght the next day but the bed sure was great for the night before the flight. Sooo cozy~

The location wasn't the greatest with a Bar & Grill on one side, a big Harley Davidson store across the street and LOTS of traffic. There's a Starbucks down the street as you head out to get on 167.

Curtains were great to keep all the light out & there was lots of light all around the building,

Just did not like the decor in the halls. Not appealing at all. But I did get a good nights sleep - that's what counts most!

Breakfast had a good variety with muffins, fruit, cereals, waffles, grits, gravy & sausage, coffee, tea, juices, etc.

Room Tip: The top floor was quiet. Don't know what the lower floor was like for the noise factor.
