The room was quite cold despite the thermostat being set at 84 degrees. We didn’t complain as we arrived quite late and went to Ed under a comforter. Later learned that if we had complained we would have gotten portable heaters or a move to another room. We thought it would warm up, but didn’t get warmer than 55-60 degrees. Fine outside of that. A bitter cold night. Zero degrees.

The room was clean with a nice king bed and a (too) warm heater that I had to reduce the thermostat setting on when it as 25 degrees F outside. Bathroom was nice and clean with a shower stall with a curtain. Not fancy, but more than adequate at a good price. Had originally paid for parking there because I was gone for a month and didn't want to pay for high priced airport parking They have a 24 hour shuttle. Decided to rent a room as a precaution on my return due to predicted freezing rain. Also, car did not start after sitting for a month. Luckily, I took my jump start battery unit into the hotel to wam up and it jump started the car twice! The shuttle driver took the bosses' car to pick us up after the shuttle would not start! He refused a tip! Great service.

Construction made this property untidy. Rooms were okay but the hallway hadn’t been vacuumed and it looked like construction materials had been transported through it. We had to wipe our feet to not track into the room.

Ok but with issues
The hotel was spacious. It was a long walk from the checkin to my room. I had close my curtains immediately as the room was off of the pool area. There was no hot water in the shower. I even let it run for a few minutes and it was still cold. But the room was spacious.

Acceptable hotel with potential
The hotel had a lot of potential. However, it felt rundown. The sheets were either stained or dirty. There were huge fans outside the room blowing and drying wet carpet. The AC took hours to cool the room, but once cool it was fine. The breakfast was good and coffee was GREAT.

This motel was in no way like the motel portrayed on the website!! The only nice part was the area around the front desk. The ret of it was messy and dirty and horribly cluttered. The pool area was full of crates and boxes on pallets along with a lot of other stuff. Couldn’t hardly get to the pool, which didn’t have the filter pumps running anyway. The room was very musty and stuffy, the AC unit rattled so loud I’m surprised the front desk didn’t hear it. It was not stocked with towels or washcloths, the bedspread had several cigarette burns and the floor was dirty. The two “queen” beds were actually queen sized frames with full size mattresses. The next morning we asked again for washcloths and just got hand towels. The bathroom sink had no water and sand came out of the shower. I talked to the front desk and we got a new room. It was marginally better. Same issue with the beds. I certainly will never stay at a clarion again.
