Reception was not staffed, building is in disrepair, airconditioning did not work. Room smelled of insect repellant and outside smelled of natural gas. Much trash in parking lot and on walkways. I wondered about bedbugs BUT bed linens seemed clean.

I can't comment because we didn't stay there. Expedia was supposed to book us at a hotel in Emporia, KANSAS, NOT the Knight's Inn in Emporia, VIRGINIA. The hotel in Kansas that Expedia booked us at (and sent us a confirmation for at the Kansas location) had gone out of business, thereby necessitating us to book a hotel on our own in Emporia, Kansas. I have alerted Expedia of the error and requested a refund. Feel free to contact me if you desire more information at info@bloomsdaybooks.com

Nice room but lacked in other areas

The room at this Clarion was recently upgraded. So the room and bathroom were nice. However the outside of the building such as the second level walkway was falling apart significantly. We were not pleased at all with their included hot breakfast. The eggs were powered scrambled, there was no juice selection, no donuts, bagels or English muffins, the sausage was not good. They had 4 pieces of bread in plastic bags for toast and 3 apples. No other fruit or yogurt. They did have waffles and cereal.

This hotel is a bit pricey but the bed was comfortable. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't any batter left to make waffles but there were eggs, sausage and other items to choose from for breakfast.

The photos of the bedrooms lead you to believe this is a nicer place than it is. It's dreary. The shower water pressure was terrible and you almost have to step in the bathtub to open the bathroom door (to exit). The beds were fine.

This property clearly used to be all outside but they've renovated it to be partially inside. The inside part is nice, but the set up is very strange. We had an exterior room which is definitely not as good as the interior rooms(we had friends who had an interior room). I'm thankful that there was a fan in our room otherwise we would've heard every sound outside, including cars getting onto the interstate. The worst part about our room though was the incredibly bright light in the parking lot that was shining directly into our window. Even though they have room darkening curtains they do not cover up the edges of the window and we might as well had a light on because it was so bright. We actually went out and bought safety pins just so it was dark enough the second night to actually get some sleep.

If you advertise two queen beds make sure they are queen beds and not double beds like I got. Didn't affect me as I was staying solo but I'm sure many people would be disappointed and mad at the false advertising. Also, breakfast was non existent one day and just barely edible the next. Okay stay for what I was there for.

The young lady that checked me in was not very customer friendly. I told her my TV was not connecting and she ask if I turned it on. Took everything I had not to reply to that as yes I did turn it on. Maybe their other customers are not as smart. The lady that tended the breakfast area was great though. The bed was comfortable and sheets were great! You can tell all the rooms were once outside rooms and converted to inside rooms by a metal roof and a wall. They also put $100 hold on your card just in case you "tear up" the room.
