Four walls might be all you need
Cons:

It was a little outdated, but no big deal. My Booking.com reservation was in the system, but somehow the property itself did not have a reserved room. I’m at least glad they had an available room after the fact. The electronic door lock on the entryway was falling off the door, which blew my mind. I Don’t usually take advantage of continental breakfast, but I decided to go down and it was actually disappointing. The room was dark and quiet. There were four other families eating and everyone of the other 20 tables was filled with dirty dishes so there wasn’t any silverware and nothing to drink. Definitely will not be staying there again.

It was a relatively economical room - next time I will stay at a brand I trust
Pros:

the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

There was major plumbing work being done which affected the toilet and shower in our room. The complimentary breakfast was not worth it it. Based on breakfast we did not eat in the attached restaurant for lunch or dinner. There was no bar soap in the the room - down to the front desk. After checking in it was 2 more trips to the Front Desk to get a room key for a room that wasn't already occupied. There was a phone in our room but the phone system was not working and our phone was not plugged in - a decorative item only. 2 towels, 1 hand towel and 1 washcloth for 2 people for 2 nights. No ice machine - go to the front desk and the Front Desk would get it from the restaurant for you. No working elevator but there was a luggage cart at the top of the stairs.

Worst...hotel...situation...ever.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

First I was provided a room with a malfunctioning toilet that could not be shut off. I was given a second room. The room had a smoke detector on the ceiling that flashed a bright light every 8 seconds. I could see it even through my closed eyelids while trying to sleep. Then I had difficulty turning the shower on next morning and was told to pull it out with strength. Then the food on the buffet line was not hot.

It was horrifying.
Pros:

First off, I couldn't get into my room. Then, you guys changed my room and charge me for it

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that I paid $200 for a meal that I couldn't eat and on top of that. I want to use your bathroom and there was no soap in any of the soap dispensers in the men's room and when I went to the front office, the lady told me, oh there's plenty of soap in the lady's room, yeah, I will never be going back there. And I will never refer them to nobody very lousy hotel

Absolutely disgusting!! Suggest you read this before booking.
Pros:

The entire hotel is a dump...period! One step above a crack house. Should be a zero star rating. Rugs are dirty and smelly, bathrooms are moldy and just plain gross, no hot water in the shower, ceiling tiles also moldy, no cable tv, doors barely closed, towels were brown stained, pillows were yellow stained, key cards didnt work, green light from smoke detector blinked all night, trash around building perimeter, weeds everywhere with no landscaping, and the interior smelled like a combination of bleach, puke and body fluids. HOW is this place even open and not condemned?? The hotel webpage is a complete lie. Pics are nothing like current condition. Pool and hot tub are disgusting. Pool water very cloudy and with strong bleach smell. The restaurant is not much better. I would never consider eating there. Was not able to sleep, or take a hot shower. Do not fall for the scam reviews on their webpage - but if you go then you will find out for yourself. I hope this review prevents people from having the same horrible experience my son and I had. The owners should be held accountable somehow. Disgusted. Disgusting. Disgraceful.

Avoid until renovations are DONE!
Pros:

Price and location

Cons:

Our toilet ran all night, even after saying something. My TV didn't work. The saunas AND hot tub were "out of order" but had clearly been used as there was a pool float in the hot tub and soaking wet towels all over the floor in the sauna changing area. 1 of the 2 rooms I booked had no fridge OR microwave...and that was after they changed rooms because the original room we were put in had the bed on the FLOOR, no desk or nightstand!! I get that the hotel is undergoing renovations but the rooms that aren't done should be blocked off! They should NOT be renting out 1/2 completed rooms!
The most GHETTO place I have ever stayed and I travel quite a bit, and not always to the best places. Avoid this hotel until they announce that the renovations are complete!! There is so much potential there, but not worth being open and getting bad reviews while they get there

The ONLY thing that made this stay even a little bit less aggravating is that the staff were all very nice and tried to
Pros:

The convenience of the location. The food in the restaurant was amazing

Cons:

The pictures in this site are obviously AI generated which is sad and makes this place disappointing. The front of the building has been renovated but the rooms need LOTS of work. We had to change our rooms 3 times, the first time our key wouldn’t work to get into the room, the next room didn’t have hot water and the tv didn’t work, the next room we were in for two days and then had to change because of electrical problems. The boiler had an issue so there was no hot water for a day and a half. The next two days of showering consisted of scalding hot water or freezing cold water, not a pleasant experience at all. The bathroom is very small. You have to go in, shut the door while trying to move out of the way, then sit on the toilet. The pool was freezing cold for being an indoor pool. The sauna and hot tub didn’t work. There were dirty towels lying all over the place. The bathroom inside the pol area had poop on it and was disgusting. There was no coffee machine in the 2 out if the 3 rooms. And no more than 1 wastebasket besides the one in the bathroom. Out of the 3 rooms 1 had a hairdryer and neither of the rooms had enough towels/ washcloths for the number of guests. We had to keep asking for more stuff every day. This place should not have opened to the public if it wasn’t completely ready. The telephone lines didn’t work either.
And as for booking.com if I would have needed assistance with anything there is no convenient number to get ahold of anyone. It should be in the app as soon as you open it. Not have to search and get some odd phone number that doesn’t even work.

Seriously sucks. No hot water.
Pros:

First, let me say that the people working at the Clarion are lovely and the breakfast wasn’t nearly as bad as the rest of the hotel. With that said, we were here for 3 nights and never had hot water. The toilet runs like crazy, the mattress is lumpy and we never had any kind of maid service. The hotel was less expensive than others, which is why we chose it, but it’s not worth it.

Meth Head Motel. Run from this place!
Pros:

If I could put zero stars, I would. The worst hotel I have ever stayed in! The renovation mainly took place in the restaurant because the rooms definitely aren’t renovated. They smell of stale smoke, the mirrors are dirty, bathroom door doesn’t close, patched holes in wall, one hand towel and washcloth for 2 people. We should have left the place right away but it was raining and we were on a motorcycle. Worst hotel ever. I would call it the Meth Head Motel instead of Clarion. Definitely a shady place.
