Clarion Hotel

Was a good stay..until..

Pros: I enjoyed the overall cleanliness of the hotel, location, and hot breakfast.

Cons: There was an incident with their computer system I'm assuming. The first day within the first hour of being in our room laying down, someone literally opened our door with a hotel key. They apparently doubled booked our room, so someone came in and that was awkward nonetheless. Then on the second day I noticed my card was charged for a full night stay when I had already paid for the hotel in full! I know they put holds on your card for incidentals but not for a full night stay. I wasn't even worried about the money, you just shouldn't have to deal with that kind of stuff while your on vacation. Its called vacation for a reason! So that was a mess and I had to sort that out. I must say the front desk lady was very helpful and polite in helping me with the situation. But its a little odd how the front desk manager didn't even contact me or apologize for the situation. ..especially when they have to authorize those fixes. I wasn't offered anything for the inconvenience and it was a little stressful, which it shouldn't have been. Very doubtful I will book there again after that.

Not what I expected...

Pros: The breakfast staff was friendly.

Cons: The room was on the shabby side. Strange bathroom. Odd pillows. Damp and sketchy carpet. And an inexplicable charge for $1.08 added by the hotel. I cannot believe that this hotel had this Kayak rating. I will not put much stock in them in the future, nor stay at a Clarion property.

Pros: Breakfast choices.

Cons: Took way too long to check in.
