Below average accommodations
Bed wasn't comfortable, a/c unit controls didn't work properly and unit made too much noise. Bathtub was extremely slippery and there are no grab bars or any safety features. Parking lot was very narrow with poor signage and two way traffic forces you to stop and pull over to let other vehicle pass before proceeding

2/10 Poor

It’s a No for Me
We checked in on 11/29 and checked out on 12/1. The pictures posted on Hotels.com was barely anything like the hotel. The lobby looked most like the pictures, however, there were still some differences. Seemed to be no well lighting in the hotel along with scuff marks and other marks on the walls. When we arrived in our room, the first things we noticed was the trash had not been taken out and there seemed to still be dirt on the floor. In addition, there were also fuzzies/strings on the sheets of the beds and the light switch by the door did not work. The door also seemed to have a hard time closing and you could even see light coming through some. The shower had brown marks on the wall; looked like scuff marks perhaps? In addition, most each night we got the strong whiff of “skunk” smell (if you know what I’m talking about”. On the third night of our stay our key quit working to the door for some reason. I called the front and they informed us we would have to go all the way to the lobby to get a new key. Normally I wouldn’t mind this, but we were at the back side of the hotel on the second floor (no elevators) standing in the cold. Having to truck to the front was exhausting after a day at the parks. We also had a lot of times where we just did not feel safe staying there Overall, the employees were nice and checkout was easy (leave the key in the box at the front desk) but everything else was disappointing.

Good, clean, great location!
Stay was good. The bath tub leaked so if you are prone to hearing noises keep the fan on so u don’t hear it. Room was nice clean and no smell so that was good :) bed hard. Didn’t sleep well but I like softer beds so no neg towards that. Pillows really fluffy! Don’t hear much from outside or other rooms. 2nd floor is nice. Parking was good but got packed by 11pm.

Stay somewhere else!!! Very poor quality!
The room hard to find. Hidden in far off corner and not in good quiet way! It was closest to noisy highway and hotel was not even close to half full! Loud people, skateboarding or something thru the parking kept us up. Room was old and outdated. Hard to believe rated very good! For the money, no breakfast and very low quality. Couldn’t relax in entry lounge when first got there-kids running around and laying all over the furniture!

Not sure how it's 3 star
Not sure how this is a 3 star hotel. Felt more like a cheap motel. The reception area and little cafe were cute, and the landscaping was nice, but the rooms were not very clean. There was a weird smell, discoloration all over the bathroom sink, and exposed wires in the bathroom. Their idea of "updating" was spray painting the lamps and poorly repainting the walls in what looked like endless layers. One of the rooms keys they gave us didn't work. Should be a 2-star motel.

Less than mediocre experience
The people working at the hotel were friendly and accommodating. The room was OK. There were a number of areas in the walls that were patched poorly. It almost looked like there had been water damage and some plaster and paint was put over it. And the caulk looked like it had been patched a number of times. The smell when we entered the room was like a wet dog smell. When we went to bed, only one out of eight pillows didn’t have that smell. I slept without a pillow but when we called the next day they did bring two clean pillows and took the others out of the room. One of the towels was not clean or it was stained. Our room had a door to an adjoining room. Heard a fair amount of the conversation and noise next door. We were tired and they thankfully calmed down by 10 or 11 and we were able to get a decent nights sleep. The hotel really should do something to keep that noise down. It seems to be a thing now but the alarm clock was flashing when we arrived. I thought housekeeping set them before guests arrived but maybe not any more. I would suggest Clarion send an executive to stay and experience what it is like to stay in one of their hotels. It definitely needs to be renovated.
