Excellent breakfast with lots of hot options. Three waffle makers, Chobani yoghurt, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash brown patties. Half decent coffee, lots of juice options. I would definitely book this again for college visits. Only downside is parking, as is at a premium during dining hours. Street parking is a safe option as well.

The pool is in the hotel next door and I didnt know that prior to booking. The picture of the pool is on their webpage so I assumed it was onsite. It's cold to walk from next door while all wet from swimming. I would have booked next door had I known. But it was great otherwise.

We left a day early. The photo you show with the name Clarion is FALSE advertising. The picture you show is from the Best Western Hotel next door to the Clarion which Is where I thought I booked our room. Instead we stayed at the Clarion which has lousy housekeeping services and NO POOL OR HOT TUB. They want you to purchase tickets to their SPLASH water park. Overall it was disappointing but the hotel and front desk lady were ok.

I’m sure that this is probably a decent place to stay but I was lied to about parking. Before I made the reservations I called to make sure there would be adequate parking for my 26ft boat and truck. I was assured there’d be plenty of room. After I checked in and asked where the best place to park would be I was informed they could not accommodate and if I took up to many spaces the owner would have my boat and truck towed. I immediately cancelled the reservations and had to scramble to find other accommodations. I’m currently still waiting to be reimbursed.
