We left a day early. The photo you show with the name Clarion is FALSE advertising. The picture you show is from the Best Western Hotel next door to the Clarion which Is where I thought I booked our room. Instead we stayed at the Clarion which has lousy housekeeping services and NO POOL OR HOT TUB. They want you to purchase tickets to their SPLASH water park. Overall it was disappointing but the hotel and front desk lady were ok.

we stayed in 3 rooms during our emergency trip to n.y. room 402 was fine. no problem at all. clean and smelled good. The 2nd room we stayed in which was this night was 503 we call it spider room. We had spiders on the walls near the window, near the fridge, in the closet and bathroom. also the bathroom itself looked like mold on the walls and ceiling. I really dont like to complain but this was bad. even woke up twice during the night and had spiders crawling on me. Then our 3rd room which was 401 was excellent. wish we could of gotten this room the whole stay but like i said it was an emergency trip to n.y. and had to book what we could. The staff was excellent. Can say they were very helpful and very polite and informative about stuff we had questions about and the kids had questions about. The breakfast was one of the best parts especially for the kids they really enjoyed it with so many different items to chose from and eat and drink they really did love it. Also the water park was great for the kids got them off grandma for the day as grandma isnt doing too well. Other then room 503 we had an excellent stay and loved it. We thank you all for the great staff and great property yall have there in oswego n.y.

Excellent breakfast with lots of hot options. Three waffle makers, Chobani yoghurt, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash brown patties. Half decent coffee, lots of juice options. I would definitely book this again for college visits. Only downside is parking, as is at a premium during dining hours. Street parking is a safe option as well.

The pool is in the hotel next door and I didnt know that prior to booking. The picture of the pool is on their webpage so I assumed it was onsite. It's cold to walk from next door while all wet from swimming. I would have booked next door had I known. But it was great otherwise.
