Categories

Cleanliness
2
Multiple guests reported rooms filthy, roaches, bad odors, trash and general lack of cleanliness.
Service
7.5
Mixed but notable positive: front desk repeatedly praised for being friendly, welcoming and accommodating (helped displaced guests and resolved issues), though some guests reported poor day-to-day service (e.g., needing to request towels).
Location
6
Several guests reported feeling unsafe at night and that the property appearance differs from photos, but location-specific details are limited so rating is moderate.
Room Quality
2.5
Guests describe roaches, broken fixtures, structural issues (shaking, caving), and other room-level problems indicating poor room quality.
Amenities
3.5
Amenities were problematic for some guests: advertised breakfast reportedly not provided, reports of no lights and missing security cameras; a few mentions of renovations but overall amenity issues present.
Value for Money
6.5
Mixed perceptions: some guests found the stay 'better than nothing' or comfortable after an upgrade, while others experienced denied reservations/charges and felt service failures reduced perceived value.
Food and Beverage
2
Breakfast was advertised as included but multiple guests reported it was not offered or was false advertising, leading to negative sentiment for F&B.
Overall Experience
7.6
Overall sentiment is mixed: significant cleanliness, room-quality and safety complaints lowered many stays, but positive interactions with front desk, renovations and a subset of satisfied guests raise the overall experience for some visitors.

Awesome Front Desk Staff
Pros:

We were displaced due to a house fire. We were actually booked for the Suburban, but we were upgraded to the Clarion on the same property. I enjoyed the stay. We had a couple of kinks in the beginning but front desk made sure we were taken care of. The room could have been just a little more cleaner but the stay was comfortable. This is a hotel that I could and will frequent again in the near future. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Kudos to you guys and I love the renovations.

Pros:

I am refuting this transaction. I was denied service, hotel did not have reservation despite me having a conformation number and a charge on my credit card. I was left with no room. I will never use Expedia again and will tell everyone I know to use another travel source
