This place is a old dump that needs to be remodeled. The TV etc is old but did fine the bed to be ok. Breakfast was worthless and they charge $5.95 to get an upgrade. What a joke when they offer nothing to begin with. Do yourself a favor and find another place. This joint has cheap and petty written... More

I made a reservation at the Hampton Inn...once I got into the room it was unclean and unfit to stay overnight in. I came down to the Clarion Inn and they were very accommodating. The staff is very polite and the hotel is clean with easy access to the interstate. I highly recommend this hotel!!

The restaurant and lounge. BOTH times I have stayed there, they ran out of many types of beer in the bar. Other than their lack of bar inventory management, it is a nice place. The food is good and affordable as well. And the price is great - I paid $90 a night for a large two room suite. Also,... More

I was checked in by Suzanne who was pleasant, knowledgable and helpful. The highlight of my stay was the magnificent towels. Very plush, not the terry-cardboard I've been experiencing at most hotels. The only disappointment was the out-of-order ice machine that required me to either walk to the other end of the building or go to the second floor.

This hotel was selected and paid for by Channel 70 Video Production client as it's the most convenient to his location. The desk staff was courteous and competent. We got great parking for our truck. The hotel needs a remake ASAP.

In 2010 Holiday Inn was looking to recreate the look of their hotels by excluding their exterior corridor hotels. In 2010 we rebranded to a full service Clarion Inn. At that time, the rebrand...
