Great pick for a simple getaway! This is our second time in the area, we previously stayed at the Hampton Inn but our experience at Clarion Inn was better, and cheaper all around. The big selling point for me was the price and fact that it was recently renovated. We stayed for two nights, Tuesday July 5 to 7th and had zero issues overall. We checked in late and there was no wait, the hotel felt empty. Our room was 254 which is a corner unit on the second floor and easily accessible from the outside. At first I thought this was a bad sign that we had to reach our room from outside stairs but this was actually a shortcut and made coming in and out a lot easier. We were able to park just steps away from the door. The lobby was clean and presentable, staff was friendly. The room was nice and modern. Bathroom had a large shower instead of a tub and huge counter for the sink which I enjoyed. Bed doesn't seem to have a new mattress, it felt soft and sunken in at times, but the furniture, tv, carpeting and everyhting else in our room was modern. I asked for some extra shampoo at one point and the girl at the front counter was so nice, she offered me extra items if I wanted - they have everything in stock free of charge if ever you need deodorant, toothpaste, toobrushes, shower caps, etc, feel free to ask! Since we stayed on weekdays the entire property felt empty, I think we came across just two other guests during our stay. No noise at night, no noise in hallways - it was amazing. When we were there, the complimentary breakfast was pretty basic, there's coffee, juices, milk, yogourt, some fruits, cereal, muffins/granola bars and a pancake and waffle maker. The pancake maker was really cool, since it is an automated machine. Just place a plate under and with the push of a button, 2 pancackes will be made fresh and rolled out for you. I wish there were hot food items like eggs, sausage or bacon, but I guess with covid and with how empty the hotel was during our stay, it might not make sense to offer these items. (I recently read that the hotel does offer these hot breakfast items, but maybe just on weekends??) My suggestion would be to have at least some hard boiled eggs, these could be kept in the same fridge as the yogourt and can stay good for a few days so it would reduce waste (as opposed to scrambled eggs/omelettes). Note that there is a 99 restaurant located on this property so if ever you want to order something quick for lunch or supper, it's super convenient. I would come back, great value and great experience as a whole.
