Construction made this property untidy. Rooms were okay but the hallway hadn’t been vacuumed and it looked like construction materials had been transported through it. We had to wipe our feet to not track into the room.

Ok but with issues
The hotel was spacious. It was a long walk from the checkin to my room. I had close my curtains immediately as the room was off of the pool area. There was no hot water in the shower. I even let it run for a few minutes and it was still cold.
But the room was spacious.

Under construction at the time
The place was going under construction when we were there. There was a few issues with the place, but I understood that the place was in transition. We did not experience any issues with our room specifically.

Acceptable hotel with potential
The hotel had a lot of potential. However, it felt rundown. The sheets were either stained or dirty. There were huge fans outside the room blowing and drying wet carpet. The AC took hours to cool the room, but once cool it was fine. The breakfast was good and coffee was GREAT.

This motel was in no way like the motel portrayed on the website!! The only nice part was the area around the front desk. The ret of it was messy and dirty and horribly cluttered. The pool area was full of crates and boxes on pallets along with a lot of other stuff. Couldn’t hardly get to the pool, which didn’t have the filter pumps running anyway. The room was very musty and stuffy, the AC unit rattled so loud I’m surprised the front desk didn’t hear it. It was not stocked with towels or washcloths, the bedspread had several cigarette burns and the floor was dirty. The two “queen” beds were actually queen sized frames with full size mattresses. The next morning we asked again for washcloths and just got hand towels. The bathroom sink had no water and sand came out of the shower. I talked to the front desk and we got a new room. It was marginally better. Same issue with the beds.
I certainly will never stay at a clarion again.

Very poor quality and service. They skimp on the few products they provide (paper thin stained towels, thin tissue paper, stained bed sheets and blankets). They sell everything at the counter, simple things other hotels provide at no cost like a toothbrush or toothpaste they sell it all. The entire place stinks of food and body odor. Just terrible!

Not great but not awful
It was 2am when I got in, the shuttle driver was also the person who checked me in. It took a while. There was no hand soap in the room, I used shampoo…I basically only slept in the room. The bed was comfortable and clean.
