The first step room I went into was awful and caulking everywhere. I would not have given this ring to nobody then I went into the second room and it had no heat. And there was other things like there was no plugs in either one of the wounds it was nasty, the food was not filling, I was very unsatisfied i told the at the desk , i would not have bought my animals to be here because it was so awful. I was looking forward to staying at the facility but I was very disappointed in the way. Things were, they had one person that worked there and they were helpful. But still I was told I should have never got that room and then the room last was not that great either.

I recently stayed at the Clariton Inn and had an extremely disappointing experience. The hotel was very dirty, with bugs present in the room and noticeable stains on the walls. The bed sheets also had stains, which made the stay quite unpleasant. Despite being moved three times to different rooms, I was never properly accommodated, and the overall cleanliness was consistently poor. I would not recommend this hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The only positive was the bed was comfortable. Waited over 10 minutes to check in. There was a sign that said they stepped away, yet could hear someone talking in a room behind the desk. No one at desk for most of the stay. The lady was rude when she did come to the desk. No toilet paper in my room upon check in, had to come to the office and get it myself. Batteries were dying in the tv remote, they refused to replace them, so I had to buy new batteries. Bathroom was dirty. Paid for no smoking, room smelled of smoke and there were burn marks in the chair and tub also on toilet lid.

Disliked: Amenities
There was no soap or shampoo in the bathroom, the baseplates for the standing light fixture were rusty, there was no ice bucket. The check-in front desk person, when I walked in the lobby, muttered in a negative voice, "Here comes another one." He was not really friendly, but did his job efficiently. I need to book a 5 night stay in Columbia beginning this weekend, but I will not book it in this hotel. Oh, and the drapes did not close completely, and I was on the ground floor, so my privacy was compromised.
