I made two mistakes when I booked this facility for a 5 night stay: 1. I assumed that a property listed by Expedia met a certain minimum level of competence. 2. I assumed that a property with the name "Clarion" associated with it met a minimum level of excellence. I was wrong on both counts. This is one of worst places my wife and I have ever stayed. And, if I taught a class on "Hospitality", I'd have the class observe the woman who worked the front desk so they could see "how not to do it". The property was undergoing badly need renovation while we were there, which meant our room was very, very noisy with the sounds or construction. The inconvenience associated with this construction-renovation was not noted by either Expedia or Clarion. Because of all this, you would think Clarion would have made a discount coupon available at checkout. Not to be. When dealing with Expedia and Clarion, I've learned "buyer beware".

location was great for weekend getaway. Bed was not good old, very old and uncomfortable. and could hear every sound from outside.no strikeplate on door frame. door did not auto relock. I have stayed at places for half the money that were twice as nice. Would not stay again.

The property/room was fine. Clean linen, comfy bed, everything OK for a hotel like this. My complaint may be with Expedia. The rate was listed as $74 but with taxes and fees bumped it up by $36. Other similar hotels in the area had a higher per night published fee but their taxes were only $16. I feel that is a little underhanded.

Located next to the monarch reserve and within walking distance of the Pacific Grove lighthouse. Location is fantastic. Hotel is middle of the road in spite of the Clarion association. Room is clean but seriously needs a design update and attention to a variety of details, including replacing noisy refrigerator, inefficient air conditioning/heating system, old rcarpet, and missing door frame.

Power outage, no back up generator so check in was not done till much later. However, the staff did take us to our room and let us in and if we left we had no key to enter back due to being electronic but was informed to go to office and someone would let us back in. Loved the duo lock system traditional deadbolt and the top bar = more secure. Staff friendly and they had a nice breakfast set up with making your own waffles station. Will use again.
