This was our second stay at this hotel, but it was the first time we actually noticed how nice it was. The first time we stayed was May of 2007. We just got our room key, went to the room, slept and left. We didn't walk around the grounds at all because our room was a bit far from the... more

I found this place for 65 including tax, but they charged me twice for the 1 night we stayed. I called and they said there is a glitch in the computer. It has been 10 days and I still haven't been refunded. We just needed a place close to Busch Gardens for 1 night. The room smelled bad, a pillow... more

Check in was a breeze but the good thigs end there. The room was old and dated but for the price we decided to give it a try. We left for dinner and drinks and when we returned we were greeted by roaches on the counters. We immedately went to the front desk to check out and we explained the... more

Your grounds are beautiful and well kept. Rooms are neat and clean. We had a birthday party and it was all handled very professionally. Personnel did all they could to keep us comfortable and happy. Food was good. more

I was down in Tampa visiting some friends and I thought instead of imposing on them I would stay somewhere close. This was a nice little place. The room was clean and the beds fairly comfortable. The staff was helpful in giving us directions to some of the area attractions. It was great and next time we are in town,... more

My family and I wanted to visit Bush Gardens before school started ... you know, the last hoorah of summer. The Clarion was affordable and looked nice in the pictures. The kids loved the two pools and game room. I loved the free host breakfast. The staff seemed scarce which made it take longer for towels or extra pillows. The... more

We were initailly disappointed with the older age of the hotel but were given a great discounted rate so decided to overlook age for a good value. After finding bed bugs in our room, which we noticed after scratching ourselves and seeing red welts on my friends neck immediately after an afternoon nap, we decided this is not going to... more

I'm sorry to hear about the problems you had while staying with us. We have a very strict pest control policy and to this day I have never had a report of bed bugs come to my attention, until now. Please contact me right away so I may be able to investigate this and rectify the situation imeadiateally. My email...

We have stayed here twice! My parents (65+) love the area around the pool. They have great hot food for breakfast! Give newspapers. My kids (3+) love the kiddie pool, and the big pool. The rooms are like every other hotel. The staff is super nice. The hotel has a shuttle within a three mile radius which bets paying for... more

Thank you for taking the time to inform us about your stay. We have recently added more channels to our cable line up due to growing demand for more variety. We have also recently had our hot water system repaired, and we have had no complaints of hot water problems since. I hope when you come back to town you...

I have stayed here three times over the past five years, always as part of a special event. I never expected (or received) five-star service, but I always appreciated the value I got for my money. I would stay here again, and it's unfortunate that others had such negative experiences. more
