This is a hard one to rate, as there were so many good qualities, but a couple of challenging ones. The place was super clean, well appointed, everything working, comfortable bed, spacious rooms and cheery staff. It was at a convenient location for our travels and the price is on par with other similar hotels. Internet was great and we were happy with the microwave and fridge (we used both). So for all of those qualities, the Clarion ought to get a five star review from me. Sadly, the three challenging factors brought my rating way down. I won’t be staying there again. We happen to go during a heat wave. It was about 6:00 p.m when we checked in and the temps were still over 90 degrees. We wanted to go for a dip in the sweet pool. For us, it was a bit uncomfortable, as it seemed as if there was a family reunion happening. About a dozen or so people were enjoying the pool and even brought their own deejay, playing music very loud. Though the group did not ask us to leave, it was clear that it was not a party of ours to join! The other two challenges are related. As soon as I opened the door to our room, an odor hit me. What it was, I don’t know, but it was strong. It could have been the cleaning fluids used, or the new carpeting off gassing, or perhaps the smell of cigarette smoke; whatever it was, it was offensive. What added insult to injury, is the design of the hotel is such that the windows do not open to the outside. They open into a hallway. There was no way to get fresh air into the room. I am not sure why engineers design buildings this way, but I learned my lesson! I will always ask future places I stay, whether or not the windows open to the outdoors. If stuffy, smelly rooms don’t bother you, then this would be a lovely place to stay.
