My stay was excellent. The tv sound and picture quality was better than a lot of places I’ve stayed
Pros:

Breakfast was really nice. The waffles were delicious. Grits were good as well. They tasted better than I thought they would without butter.

Cons:

Some kind of breakfast meat

Overall decent
Pros:

The staff were all friendly and it was quiet which is nice because we had a little one. Location was nice and close to our relatives and the room was nice and clean.

Cons:

It's in VERY fine print but they take a $75 room deposit fee when you check in. It's refundable provided they do not find anything damaged in the room. I also did not like that the staff's children were coming upto my young baby and touching her/getting in her face. I understand they're kids, but my little one wasn't feeling well and the other kids' parents were no where to be found. I also did not appreciate the constant smell of weed everytime we entered the hallway.

Cons:

At the outset, the room temperature was like an oven. Took over an hour to bring it down to 76 degrees.

very disipointed.
Cons:

the room i paid for , reservvation by internet was nothing like i paid for. i talked to lady (sally) about it and she said there was nothing she copuld do about it. we had a medical at home and had to leave a day sooner than expected, they workwd with us well on that problem. we appreciate that. i made reservation for a king, walk in shower and asked for first floor. we ended uo in a queen double on 2nd. floor with tub bath , ihad just receive a new knee and had to bathe in sink. .i feel clarion could have done much better. we travel a lot and always try to leave good reviews, not this time. there is no excue that will pacsify us., i will just put in my memory bank. kindest regards the howells/
