Ok stay

Floors in hallway were filthy and people were allowed to be barefoot in dining room. The place is fairly rundown. BUT…. The room was clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Some of the other guests were super sketchy. Almost seemed like they had some long term residents who lived there. Not sure. Anyway…. Good stay for what we needed. The pool seemed cloudy but the staff was cleaning it and we loved that the plants all around the pool area were real.

Make sure you don't forget any of your items.

It wasn’t a bad stay for my kids and I. They also allow pets for a reasonable fee. I thought it was kind of strange they booked us in the “extended stay” section of hotel- but, the kids and I still had a good time. The only problem I had was a few hours after we checked out I realized I forgot to grab my swim suit that I hung on the back of the bathroom door. I called as soon as I realized. I was told by the front desk it would be put in the lost and found by house keeping. I called the next several days asking if they found it, even brought in a picture. Somehow my swim suit vanished - or “housekeeping” just threw it away and now I’m out of a swim suit. Wasn’t offered any type of compensation for that.

You get what you pay for.

The front desk were nice. But the owners need to invest some money in the property. The room was clean, the tv worked. The showers was hot. The breakfast was a sack breakfast handed over at the front desk. The place is run down. Glad I read the comments before going or I would have been very disappointed. 1.5 stars

It looks like this hotel was really really nice about 30 years ago. You can see how many layers of paint they're put over everything, and just how beat up everything has gotten over the years. We really wished the hot tub was working. But the pool looked pretty nice. Also, if the bar would've been open, that would've been super nice. Overall the stay was fine. This place just needs a major revamp done by a reputable contractor, and this would be a super nice place to stay. But then it wouldn't be as cheap as it was haha

Great Staff, Poor Room

It was not a clean room. Flies in the room from the open threshold form the door that I blocked with a towel. There were no towels available the next day. I killed a roach. Trash under the bed. The bed was broken. Nice staff, but just a poor room.

In Progress Remodel with Potential

Front desk attendant at check in and check out was extremely helpful, attentive and friendly. Other review said amenities were not there, but every amenity listed is there, other than the restaurant and bar that are being remodeled and scheduled to re-open in May '24. There is a great Mexican restaurant a few bldgs down and several other restaurants. Breakfast was provided as a bag full of a perfect assortment to satisfy anyone. I25 was suddenly closed, and we were not planning on staying, so it was a last minute booking. We were provided a bag of toiletries to include toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, shaving cream etc. Once remodeled, the hotel will look amazing. The rooms need to be touched up, but the fresh clean towels and bedding was nice and enjoyed in room coffee.

The rooms are dirty and it has a moldy smell, specially the carpet, the room is not maintained at all, the parking garage flooded because it rained and my car had to be cleaned professionally, I paid $100 for this, the front desk staff I first met told me when I went to check in that the computer is down so I need to go find another hotel, of course with an attitude, although I paid online and can't get refunded. However, the other staff I met later were very friendly.

Beware!!

This property is very aged. It doesn’t help when several people in the parking lot where working on there cars. Other’s hanging out in front of their unit smoking ( don’t know what) with pets. All rooms have this pixie glass front wall next to entry door. Don’t feel safe at all. Center/pool area has this massive patio cover over the pool area. Which is the only cool thing about property. As soon as you get to counter. There’s color printed signs taped to counter averting that complementary breakfast is no longer served. The owner needs to update all apps to this change. For myself, this was the one factor that swayed me to give this Hotel a chance. Also, indicating when the hotel was remodeled. Because halls stunk, carpets are dirty and bathroom’s moldy. Bathroom tiles look replaced incorrectly and stains/patches on ceilings. Clarion is a big chain and should inspect properties that carry there name. Maybe assist owners with remodel’s.
