There are two things to consider before reading the following review. One: I have the hearing sensitivity to rival Superman. Two: you are never very far from a spider. The rooms are a bit old, but clean, well kept, and tidy. The staff are friendly, helpful, and accomodating (though, the one time when I asked for one bar of soap... More

Good Breakfast, clean rooms on a strip of road with some of the biggest dumps you've ever seen. The lobby is very nice though. Thin walls. For REAL local 'south of the border' flavor eat at Periquin North of the property.....GREAT & AUTHENTIC Mexican Food....

Have stayed here on business a couple of times. The room is always clean and comfortable. Staff fairly friendly and accomidating. Not much within walking distance so if you don't have a car, you are pretty well stuck. There are plenty of places to eat near by.

I booked this hotel through Expedia for a brief business trip, and I enjoyed my stay. I got a first floor room facing the road (neither set-up is my favorite), but the room was spacious, clean, comfy, and even had an extra sink outside of the bathroom. Decor was outdated, and the TV was clearly very old -- but everything... More

Wifi worked. A bit remote from some things. If this location works for you, this is a decent hotel. Clean. Nothing fancy. Breakfast was fine. Handy laundry machine, but yes, having change available would be helpful. Covered parking spaces on the back building (two buildings). Generous with late check out.

This may very well be the nastiest hotel I've ever stayed at. In my youth I frequented Motel 6, Super 8, and Red Roof. This hotel is worse. Why? I'm going to start with the urine smell in my room. Beyond that the absurdity of there being NOT ONE SINGLE power outlet accessible in the room (other than one in... More

I had a training a couple of blocks away and booked Clarion for convenience. Unfortunately, I didn't get much sleep while I was there. The door to my room scraped the floor and squeaked loudly, the bed was rather over hard, and the air conditioner didn't have a continuous ON feature with just a fan, so it woke me every... More
