Dirty room, hallway and dining area. Property smells like marijuana, sign of decline. Upon arrival there was no staff for check in. I had to wait 10 minutes.
Stay away. Everything you touch is sticky. It seemed most of the guests were living there.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The faucet in my room didn't properly pour into the sink instead of over the counter. Not a big deal. My room keys demagnetized twice over the two day. Kind of a pain. But not a big deal. Breakfast was okay be expected. Staff was very helpful. The property needs to revamp soiled sheets and towels that have permanent damage to them. As well as structural touch up
With this being a Clarion I was expecting a whole lot more. The grounds around it were unkept. It was very apparent that this hotel rents their rooms on a monthly basis. Upon checking into our room we found that the air conditioner did not work properly. All of the outlets would not hold a plug and there were no wash-clothes. We were leaving early on Saturday and were glad that breakfast would be ready before we left. When we arrived at the breakfast area there was nothing ready so we had to go somewhere else. We went out for the day and had to have our keycards re-keyed when we returned. We again tried to have breakfast before checking out but most of the food was gone and there was nothing ready coffee. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
Room was not clean, needs were made with damp linens, so room smelled extremely musty, hair dryer almost caught fire when I turned it on, entire property needs work. Some pretty sketchy areas.
There isn’t a arcade and the washer was not working no vending the lights in the bathroom over the sink would just go out the door keys just stop working randomly was able to sleep but lots of stuff wrong with this places looks nothing like the pictures
Room smelled like cigarette smoke. Looked like black mold growing in the bathroom. Holes in the walls in the room with poor patch job. Hallways smelled like marijuana. Outside the hotel there was trash all over the ground. Outdoor pool was very nice. Breakfast was okay.
I liked that they knew how to mind their own business - I did not like how the room wasn’t clean, I used eyelashes on the ground, and every single towel had hair on it there was a pair of earrings left from another guest, their gym wasn’t open at all. Their breakfast was pretty good for what it was milk was a bit warm (for milk) - their Wi-Fi doesn’t work properly. All of the plugs are very loose, and any charging brick will fall out of the socket. AC worked well. In the breakfast room, the floors are sticky. The tables aren’t washed. The hallway down was damp smelling. Their chair in the room was sticky. NO BUGS though, not even a fly.
The outside of the hotel was less than desirable. The building itself is in need or repairs, the landscaping was a mess, there was trash and litter all over. Once inside, it was a little cleaner, but smelled of must and mildew. The floor in our room was sticky, the lights only half worked. The mattress pad was dirty, like rust stained on the under side. The staff was friendly ans helpful. I would not recommend staying here.
Do not stay here, ac does not work, very hard to sleep. They tell you, that you can get a refund if you check out earlier than you should, and even with approval and confirmation from Expedia, I am now being asked who approved it, their name, their position. They don’t wear name tags, I don’t know their position other than hotel receptionist. And a lot of rooms smell like cigarette and marihuana. And people smoking in the entrance all day. If you are looking for a horrible experience, then stay here. Also people partying and banging all night. And Expedia is completely unreliable apparently, because they mentioned by chat and by support phone call that they would take care of this, the receptionist said it would be fine, Expedia just had to make the refund of that one last night. But Expedia has prolonged this forever when they originallly said it would be fixed within 24 hours, then they changed to three days, now it’s been over a week and they are saying there is nothing they can do. Avoid this place, it’s not worth it. Also you end up feeling drugged, because of so many people consuming even inside of the hotel, the lobby itself smelled like you where inside of some extreme junkies vehicle with the doors and windows tightly shut.
Upon arriving I quickly noticed it did not look the same as it did online. No shower curtain , no soap , shower fixtures were hanging off and connected door had damage at the bottom as if someone had kicked it in . The front desk guy was nice and assured me all of this would be addressed as I was staying 2 nights . It was not and I left at 8 pm the second night and went home . Never booking again.
The smell of weed throughout when walking in halls. This was the worst experience I have had in a long time.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The attention and the terrible cleaning, the first time I stay in a hotel where I ask for cleaning service and they give me the broom and the dustpan to do it myself, it lasted a week and they didn't even give me toilet paper I had to pick up the dirty towels and take them myself to the laundry, it lasted a week and they never laid me or changed the sheet everything I had to do it myself and the food was terrible
Disgusting and drove up late and looked like there were men and ladies of the night everywhere. Constant banging of doors all night. Don’t think it is for families to stay in. Stay away! No breakfast… or coffeee… left a whole night early. Spend your money somewhere else.
The pool outside and the staff are the only good things to report. The weeds and litter were the worst. The hotel is old but that's not an excuse for filth.

I noticed a bag of trash in the hallway upon check in. And the room smelled terribly of smoke. I likely won't book a stay again here in the future. I will say the young man at the front desk was very attentive and did a nice job.
