This stay was surprisingly good considering the renovation going on. Staff seems. To be doing a good job of keeping things clean despite construction. Our only complaint was the unwillingness to serve more yogurt upon request after other guests had exhausted the yogurt in the refrigerator. Fortunately the eggs were surprisingly good and not like other fake hotel buffet eggs. Staff also accommodated our request for extra towels.

Excellent staff and breakfast. Nice hotel layout. The bed was super comfortable. The bathtub had a bit of mildew and the lap shades were needed replacing. I would stay here again as it is right beside the airport and they have a complimentary shuttle there.

Unfortunately in room 207 there was very visible mold in the bathroom. The television did not work work. There was a hole in the adjoining room door we covered with a towel. There was hair on the sheets when I pulled the covers back. I wiped down the phone, remote and bedside table and the cloth was filthy. I took pictures because when we told the manager she stated "since it took you so long to report it we will not reimburse the payment" We got in really late Friday evening but told her 1st thing in the morning as we checked out. We did bear in mind the hurricane, hiwever that room should not be sold to anyone until its repaired.

Hotel in subpar condition that served a purpose

My daughter’s team chose this hotel for the team and their families to stay. Although the room served its purpose of somewhere to sleep the room and hotel was in poor condition. The carpet was stained, room was not super clean, fridge wasn’t clean. Several of the families had to request multiple rooms due to them being very dirty (blood on walls, bugs, food on floor). Breakfast was decent. I would highly Suggest getting rid of the carpets in the rooms, they are just too nasty. This hotel could be good but there needs to be a lot of renovations done.

I stayed at Clarion for park and fly. I had an early flight. I decided to spend the night at a hotel and why not one that allows you to leave your car for a fee. The room was clean and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. I caught the van to the airport at 5:45 am. The driver was great. He helped me with my bag and we had a wonderful conversation all the way to the airport. The return was the same. I never had to touch my suitcase. The driver put it right into my trunk and it was heavy. And we talked the whole Drive. I would definitely stay there again. The only thing that kept me from giving it straight five stars was construction around the property. I wouldn't have walked anywhere. But I was alone. I didn't make a comment about shopping. But there is a lot of shopping in the area. I just was there to spend the night and fly. I will use them again.
