We stayed at the Clarion because the wedding reception was in this hotel. The room was dirty. There were many stains on the ottoman. The carpet was faded and pulling apart at the seams. The sink was cracked. The decor is dated. There were layers of dirt in every corner. The room was cramped. There was no place to set... more

We did not have a good experience with this place at all. The reservation was only made two days in advance and when we checked in we found out the pool was under construction and had been for a week. We were given no notice of this when making the reservation. The corporate suite we reserved was very small for... more

I had my wedding reception in this hotel in June 2008. Overall we had a great reception and the hotel was a big part of this. The Good: The lobby is nicely redone. It is nice that they have a sports bar on location. I cannot say enough about how helpful they were with all of the planning. They were... more

Stayed in this hotel for a Bachelor party. We asked for 2 rooms and they gave us 2 rooms connected, which made everything much better. Checked into the Hotel and had some great cookies from the front desk. The room was clean and large. The only thing that was weird was they had a fire sprinkler in the shower area.... more

Cedar Rapids, IA, Clarion February 3, 2007 We have stayed at this hotel several times a year over the last ten years and in this stay I began to notice it was time to do a much needed update. It was very cold outside and the windows fogged over so the only way to see out was constantly wipeing them... more

Overall, the stay Christmas week was very nice, friendly staff, good food at the restaurant, adequate breakfast. Just a warning: There was a lot of smoking in the pool area when we were there so it smelled like a smoky bar so if you have young kids and don't smoke around them, this could be a problem. Coming from a... more

During our stay, our room was flooded. Someone turned on the fire hose on the third floor and let it run. It flooded down to our first floor room and flooded the bathroom and surrounding carpet, damaged some of our things. We were moved to another room and that was it. No apology, no empathy, no compensation. Don' stay here. more

Management response from
clarioncedarrapids, Management

First of all, we apologized whole-heartedly to this guest. For her to claim that there was no apology is ludicrous. Secondly, there was not enough water damage from the third floor all the way down to the first floor to cause any damage to their luggage. Their luggage was not even situated near the wall where the water was seeping....
