I felt the staff at the front desk was helpful and friendly. It was a quick and easy check in. The staff in the breakfast area was wonderful. She was cheerful and had the area super clean and well stocked. Tables were also cleaned. The rest of the hotel was not in good shape. It was quite dirty and worn out. It definitely had an odor throughout the building. The elevator had not need checked in 4 years and was filthy dirty. There were multiple spill of something all over the floor and floor buttons were sticky. The elevator made a terrible metal rubbing on metal noise when the door was shutting. You could not use the stair because the sign said only for fire emergencies. The room had no light on the switch. Therefore you walked into a very dark room trying to find a switch or lamp. It didn’t seem as if the carpets were washed anytime in the last decade. The shower looked clean but my guess is no one uses it. People probably just want to get the heck out. The toilet did flush which was a major plus but there was no fan at all. The toilet was mounted on a stone block of sorts. Around the toilet was completely yellow. I assume it was years a urine but told myself it must be glue. The towels appeared clean and the soap was new. My daughter would not get into bed and only slept a couple of hours on top of the made bed. My youngest and I did venture under the covers. They didn’t smell fresh but didn’t have any untoward spots or stains. Major plus. The hotel was super noisy. Not so

Our room was not cleaned. We were moved to another room but it was not a king room like we reserved. It smelled like moth balls. We found 1 decent restaurant in the area but it was not walking distance. Not planning to stay in this area or stay at Clarion again.

Fun in Joliet

Our stay was very pleasant and I’d highly recommend this hotel. Greeted at the front desk and checkin went smoothly. Room was very clean and spacious. Good water pressure and drainage. Comfortable bed too. We went to their bar, The Whiskey River. Great selection and Cherie, the bartender was great! We had a great time drinking and we only had French Fries and they were hot and crispy. We stayed here to attend a concert at the Rialto Theater. We Urbered to and from the concert . The free breakfast offered many different items and it was hot, well supplied, and very clean. Keep up the good work!!!
