  • Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Soda machine was completely out of drinks. Walls are very thin. I was awakened by guests in room above us when they checked in in the middle of the night. Manager did ask the other guest to move rooms the next day, so that was good. Room was clean, just a dated property. I would stay there again. Price was very reasonable. Very walkable. Nice staff.

Very nice for the price!

The Clarion Collection was a sweet surprise. Right in the heart of town, walking distance to great shops and restaurants. The hotel itself was clean, quiet and very nice for the price. The staff were very kind and helpful as well. We would stay there again.
