My room was very nice and it was big, the place is kept clean the breakfast area in the front desk. It’s really nice. I wanna command the 4 to 12 crew, Miss Brooke, she was very nice to me and my special-needs child and she treated my child and I with a lot of respect and kindness. I liked her a lot The 8 to 4 crew. The only person I saw there she was OK that’s all I’ll say the girl in the breakfast room Nicole was so nice to me and my child. She was very caring and what we needed both on Saturday and Sunday she was wonderful. I like to commend Miss Brooks and miss Nicole for their professionalism and kindness they show to me in my child. I will recommend this location to others. Thank you.

The property is in dire need of a renovation.There was trash outside of some of the rooms. Cigarette butts were everywhere.The rooms are rundown.our sink was backed up.The maintenance person arrived after several calls to the front desk. He said it was repaired. But,now it drained a little faster. The complimentary breakfast was very good. Always replenished. But,1 of the waffle makers was out of order.No big deal. Pool was very small.and,very over crowded. Staff were very polite.and,did the best they could.under those conditions.At one time.Clarion hotels were one of the nicest hotels to visit.Not anymore !
