The property was adequate for a short stay. The rooms were dated but clean. We stayed in a handicapped-accessible room, and unfortunately, the bathroom door was too wide for the frame and wouldn’t close properly. There was a noticeable smoky smell throughout the facilities, and the breakfast area was quite small. I also wasn’t aware that the first-floor rooms had exterior access, which may be important for some guests to know. On a positive note, the front desk associate was extremely kind and welcoming, even at a late hour when we checked in, which made for a great first impression. The coffee area in the lobby was also a nice touch, with a good selection of creamers and syrups available at all hours. Additionally, the floors and walls were well-insulated, so noise from neighboring rooms wasn’t an issue. Overall, it’s a decent option for a one-night stay, but I wouldn’t recommend it for longer visits.

Parking was easy and getting to my room was easy enough. The elevator and hallway smelled pretty funny. But, my room was clean enough and the bed was very comfortable. It was quiet and I got a good night's rest. I'd stay again!

On the outside, the hotel looks nice, but the first room that we looked out on the first floor that we were put in was absolutely terrible. It stunk and was extremely out of date. We asked to move to a different room and got placed on the second floor, which was decent at first until we got home from our event and found ants all over the Nightstands and TV stands and desk. We had to switch rooms again for a second time and we met with no compassion when we told them that there were ants everywhere. We also asked for extra towels and we were told we had to turn in our dirty towels to get new towels because they didn’t have enough. Overall, it was a terrible experience and I will never stay at one of these hotels again.

Alarmingly unexceptable mold and filth

I am writing to formally document my extremely disappointing experience during my recent stay at the Clarion Hotel in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on [date]. Upon entering my assigned room, I immediately noticed several concerning issues: All pillows were missing from the bed No towels were provided in the bathroom The toilet seat was left up, suggesting inadequate cleaning Due to time constraints (I needed to quickly change for a graduation ceremony), I was forced to enter an unoccupied room down the hall to obtain necessary items. This should never be necessary at a reputable hotel. The true extent of the room's deplorable condition became apparent when I returned late that evening. The bathroom was in an unacceptable state: Visible mold and mildew on the shower ceiling Dirt and unidentified fluid stains on multiple surfaces including: Bathroom walls Hairdryer Bathtub Various other bathroom surfaces I documented these conditions with photos and video the following morning and reported the issues to the front desk, requesting appropriate compensation and manager contact. I was informed the manager would be unavailable until 1-3 PM, well after the 11 AM checkout time and my scheduled attendance at another graduation ceremony at noon. Upon checkout, I was offered only a $45 refund, which is grossly inadequate given the severity of the issues encountered. A full or at minimum 50% refund would be reasonable for the substandard accommodations. Traveler for 6 decades.

The room we were given, door did not close correctly. The front desk gave another couple that checked in right before us, the same room so they were able to just walk in using the same room key. We all went to the front desk to straighten things out but they didn’t apologize about it. They said they were going to call maintenance about the door and that they knew about it already. We got a different room witch the bath tube did not work. Very, very, very bad experience!!!! Never again.

Filthy. We had three rooms for a college event. All of the rooms were smelly: fish/ dog / cigarette smell all rolled into one. I went out and bought air freshener. The bathroom had splashes of brown on the walls. Feces? Food?? Rusty sink and bathtub. The light switches had visible dirt on them. Toilet ran all night. Broken stand up lamp. There was no blanket on one bed in my room. The tables in the buffet area were dirty. There was staff lounging around on their phones in the lobby. The elevator had a dirty floor with food crumbs as well. Sketchy people smoking pot at the front door. Sketchy cars in the parking lot. Seems to be a flop house for otherwise homeless people who are living there. I just pray I did not bring bed begs home. I complained to the front desk and they offered me air freshener and gave me a blanket for my bed. You do not want to stay here!
