The room was kind of musty and the carpet could use a good cleaning. Had cowb webs from the light next to the bed covering the light and table. Other then that it was worth the money staying there and the staff was nice especially at the bar.

Great value, beds aren’t
I’d stay again out of convenience and price. Location is perfect for me. Rooms smelled like smoke, maintenance was awesome and came and febreezed the whole room and stayed late for the pool to stay open. Beds were not comfortable at all. Staff is awesome and helpful!

Won't be back.
Long time waiting to check in while desk attendant on phone. Our main floor room felt damp. Old, chipped toilet seat/cover seemingly from the 60's. Beetles in the bathroom. Stained and torn curtains. Raised all of this with front desk when checked out and it was like water off a duck's back. "Thanks for letting us know - have a nice day! The hotel was not as advertised - which was that a Clarion hotel is at the mid to upper end of the Choice hotel group and that they are of recent construction or renovation. This was more like: "We're old and tired and we don't care."

They closed the pool for no reason after the front desk got mad at a kid and his dad. Refused to give a discount for the pool not being available all week.

Unclean, but nice wedding venue
Stayed for a wedding that was hosted at the venue. When we arrived in the room, there was trash still on the floor and a bar of soap from the previous occupants. There was no conditioner in the bathtub. The three man cleaning crew was next door. When asked for conditioner was told (somewhat rudely) that I had to go to the front desk to fill out a form for the request. The form did not include a request for conditioner. Eventually some was delivered outside the room.
Other than the guys that were cleaning the rooms, the rest of the staff was friendly. The wedding venue was very nice.

Fine for a stopover on a long road trip. Clean and quiet but a tired hotel. Restaurant not open on Mondays. Gym was better than expected.

The Clarion is a totally modern hotel within sight of the main east west highway through Minot: hard to miss after a long drive. My room is very large and is nicely decorated.
