Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed reports: many guests praised 'very clean' rooms, but multiple reviews note nasty floors/rugs, infrequent housekeeping (rooms only every three days), and dirty dining tables — overall inconsistent cleanliness.
Service
9.5
Generally strong front-desk and housekeeping service (numerous comments calling staff 'wonderful' and 'friendly'), though restaurant and pool/bar service were reported as poor or slow; overall front-line staff performance is a clear strength.
Location
9.3
Convenient central location for shows and attractions (several praise location), but accessibility is an issue for elderly guests due to steep site layout and elevator access problems.
Room Quality
6.8
Rooms described as clean and spacious by some, but also outdated with small/tiny bathrooms, unexpected signs of prior use of in-room amenities, and accessibility mismatches (tub with grab bars instead of walk-in shower).
Amenities
8
Good on-site amenities like two pools and an on-site bar were appreciated, but operational shortcomings noted (no microwaves in some rooms, delays obtaining towels, poolside/bar service issues).
Value for Money
6.5
Several guests reported unexpected charges (resort fee, extra $30, extra breakfast charges) and felt some paid extras did not reflect the service/food quality, reducing perceived value.
Food and Beverage
6.2
Multiple complaints about breakfast and buffet (cold coffee, food ran out, limited hours), plus poor poolside/bar service and rushed billing — F&B received consistently negative comments.
Overall Experience
8.8
Overall mixed but generally positive stay for many guests due to friendly staff, clean rooms, pools and location; however, recurring operational and F&B issues and accessibility concerns tempered experience for some.

Pros:

You got one free breakfast per room and had to pay for other person. Bad service in restaurant, no clean tables, no help.
Stairs were terrible for old folks. Door to get out to elevator wouldn’t open with our card. Had to take stairs.
Room very outdated. Requested handicap room expecting walk-in shower. Instead had tub with bars in it to hold on too, plus had to step in to tub and step out. Not good when expecting and needing handicap shower.
We will never book this hotel again. Built on the side of a mountain and trying to walk up to the office is terrible for old people.

Pros:

Room was fine except it didn’t have a microwave. My family and I were playing cards in the breakfast area on Friday night around 7:30pm and the coffee was cold, we asked the person on duty if she would make more and then when we went to ask she said she couldn’t because they stop making it at 9pm. We won’t be staying there again.

Pros:

Floors-rugs were nasty. Rooms cleaned every three days- never saw a cleaning cart.
A hole in floor covered by rug - luckily discovered before falling. On 5 th floor- the door to elevator locked. Both are handicapped had to walk down flight of stairs to get to car. Food for buffet- horrible- ran out of food- no wait staff to provide silverware and drinks- closed early- not worth $7.50. Dirty tables not cleaned for new customers-most of staff did not speak English. I hate we took friends to Clarion. Will never register again. We have stayed before but hotel gone straight down. Horrible experience. ADA would shut down if reported.

Pros:

The hotel was ok my room was alright but my amenities insidethe room where used like the lotion also there was a paybar wrapper behind my bed .
Poolside bar needs work I arrived before check in a little before 3 took forever to get food was served last everyone else was done when I got served foods not great then I got served the bill while I was still eating and felt rushed to leave. Second when I was at the pool I watched a couple order drinks that never arrived they waited 20 mintues then left. They say no outside food but yet people where ordering Dominos and other food as well as had coolers.
