Room was old and outdated, smelled musty, carpet was gross. I was afraid to not wear shoes. The hotel allowed dogs, but had not one garbage can around the facility to put bags in and I was not going to throw it out in my room so I left it there. The location is also dark and creepy.

Please do not stay here. The hotel itself is dirty and the smell is terrible. There was no staff to help out either. Questionable people were hanging around outside blocking the entrance when we tried to get to our room. It’s very unfortunate, I will never stay here ever again. There is a reason why it is so cheap compared to other hotels in the area.

We went up to a room that was never cleaned from the previous guest. Then we were told the only other room was one with a king size bed. We had asked for two double beds. We were told if we did not like it we can go elsewhere. As we were standing there another guest canceled and gave us the room. We decided to stay only because all the hotels were booked for the College.

I was very unsatisfied with my stay at the Clarion Inn & Suites University Area this weekend. I understand that I booked the room late and the rates were higher than usual but $250 was way too much for the conditions in room 108: - the room smelled damp at arrival (approx. 11:30pm) - the floor towel in the bathroom was still wet - was it even replaced after the last guest? - the bathtub faucet dripped all night - the toilet refilled every 20-30 minutes - faulty seal? - the A/C was inadequate; even when I turned the temp down it never got any cooler and there was no difference between low, medium and high on the fan. - everything in the room felt damp in the morning including our clothes. I have stayed at Clarion establishments in the past and had much better experiences. This might just be a one-off but the issues should be addressed for future guests.
