Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s are very close. The bed was big and comfortable. But the floor needed vacuuming and the entire property needed more cleaning.
Office staff check other individuals into our room while we were staying. Rooms were clean, but facilities around location were questionable including police being on location twice during our stay. Would not go back.
The peoperty was not maintained. The hallway smelled of smoke & was littered. Carpets badly in need of steam cleaning.
Room was not clean. We had to clean washroom with disinfectant wipes. Sheets & towels were clean. The carpet in the room needs steam cleaning.
Overall a.terrible.place to stay.
The Clarion hotel was an absolute nightmare, the hotel had a peculiar smell and absolutely in un-hygiene condition requiring us to make alternative arrangements. After much search we were able to find a hotel for our 2 night stay while at our conference on July 11th, thus canceling the Clarion stay late that night.
We suggest a full refund be granted to us given the inconvenience and the additional stress of looking up another hotel after a long 5 hour journey.
Please look into the matter and credit my visa at the earliest convenience.
Thank you

Room had string musty, moldy, chemical smell which affected my sinuses. Was offered another room but with same but less strong odor. Housekeeping offered to spray the room with freshener but that just covered up whatever was affecting my sinuses. Just couldn’t stay. Refused room and went to another motel.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Clean room but hallway and carpeted stairs en route to rooms was not clean (odor and not vacuumed). Would stay again, however because of room comfort and cleanliness.
