The check-in clerk was very helpful and was able to get us into our room a bit early--which we appreciated. But one of the elevators was broken (with a large "Out of Service" sign hung on it in the lobby), but it wasn't shut off. So each time we pressed the button to go to our room, the broken elevator would open and wait and delay the working elevator from coming to that floor. In addition, the shower in room 424 had very low water pressure. You had to move around to get wet.

I’m sure that this is probably a decent place to stay but I was lied to about parking. Before I made the reservations I called to make sure there would be adequate parking for my 26ft boat and truck. I was assured there’d be plenty of room. After I checked in and asked where the best place to park would be I was informed they could not accommodate and if I took up to many spaces the owner would have my boat and truck towed. I immediately cancelled the reservations and had to scramble to find other accommodations. I’m currently still waiting to be reimbursed.

We left a day early. The photo you show with the name Clarion is FALSE advertising. The picture you show is from the Best Western Hotel next door to the Clarion which Is where I thought I booked our room. Instead we stayed at the Clarion which has lousy housekeeping services and NO POOL OR HOT TUB. They want you to purchase tickets to their SPLASH water park. Overall it was disappointing but the hotel and front desk lady were ok.

we stayed in 3 rooms during our emergency trip to n.y. room 402 was fine. no problem at all. clean and smelled good. The 2nd room we stayed in which was this night was 503 we call it spider room. We had spiders on the walls near the window, near the fridge, in the closet and bathroom. also the bathroom itself looked like mold on the walls and ceiling. I really dont like to complain but this was bad. even woke up twice during the night and had spiders crawling on me. Then our 3rd room which was 401 was excellent. wish we could of gotten this room the whole stay but like i said it was an emergency trip to n.y. and had to book what we could. The staff was excellent. Can say they were very helpful and very polite and informative about stuff we had questions about and the kids had questions about. The breakfast was one of the best parts especially for the kids they really enjoyed it with so many different items to chose from and eat and drink they really did love it. Also the water park was great for the kids got them off grandma for the day as grandma isnt doing too well. Other then room 503 we had an excellent stay and loved it. We thank you all for the great staff and great property yall have there in oswego n.y.
