You may have guessed from other reviews that this hotel is not brand new. But it is clean and the rooms have a microwave and a fridge. My room opened to the roofed courtyard which featured a warm pool and some other entertainment. But what was exceptional was the staff. From check in with Jim to antique shop recommendations from...

Despite having read negative comments, the choice to sleep at this Holiday Inn was a very good one. The hallways are aged but not smelly. Place very clean. No smell of smoke anywhere. Very quiet renovated room and comfortably firm and generous beds. Kleenex tissues were very low quality, more like bagel wrap. Bargain price: 5000 Priority Club points.

I stayed here with my kids on our way to CT in March in room 207. We got in late and tired and as soon as we walked in to the room we all smelled smoke. Just an old, dingy, smoky smell. Well, I figured the hotel was just old and all the rooms probably smelled similar so I didn't... More

This property has seen better days. A colleague and I spent three nights while in Clarion on business. The bathroom was small and cramped. The primary decorating theme was caulk. The room had a cabinet meant to house a micowave and a fridge, but only the microwave was installed. On top of that, the cabinet partially blocked the view of... More

One of the best hotels I have stayed at! Pool, courtyard, everything! The rooms were clean, and the showers were very easy to figure out how to work (one of my pet peeves.) Plus there is a taco bell across the street! Thor is pleased with holiday's inn!

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights on Groundhog day weekend in 2013. This was the closest place we could find to Punsutawney, which is still more than 30-40 minutes away. But the hotel is very conveniently placed by the highway exit, so it's easy on, easy off. The hotel setup was not what we had... More

While on our way to the Philadelphia area from northwest Ohio, Clarion ended up being the halfway mark. The hotel is easy to find just off I80 and perfectly located among all the retail needs you might have. The rooms seem to be newly renovated. They were fresh and clean. The kids forgot their toothbrushes. The front desk had two... More
