The pool was closed. Expedia's site said it was closed during winter, but we visited in mid-June. The pool was covered by a tarp. Clearly the pool had not been open for a long, long time. That's unacceptable when traveling with two young children and specifically chose a hotel with a pool for entertainment purposes.

Clock in room not set to proper time and had to figure out how to set the time. Tried to get as much sleep as possible before checkout and received a knock at the door at 7AM. Then received a call on the room phone from the front desk saying they didn't have my room reserved for anyone. I needed sleep and didn't get much.

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!!!
