We like that the hotel has a restaurant on site. Although it is pricey, we didn't have to go out in the rain to find a place to eat dinner.

Great place to stay in Shippensburg!

A charming older building in the center of Shippensburg that has some great modern amenities. Polite and professional staff and a very well run restaurant to eat at downstairs, would highly recommend this Hotel if you are in the area!

Staff is friendly, beds nice. I liked the smaller pillows with both foamier and softer filling. The room was clean, but the bathroom tub area needs an upgrade. We also thought the Ugrill restaurant right in the building was convenient and nicely priced.

Good for the money

The Clarion is an older hotel that is being renovated and apparently be a future bigger brand hotel. The bar was great. The room was older. But it was worth the money being a lower cost alternative on the road.
