The Clarion on Park Avenue South is a small, older hotel that you can get for cheap (paid $189/night). When I stayed there, they were replacing the furniture in all the rooms, which meant that the already very small lobby was filled to the ceiling with nightstands and headboards, making it impossible to sit in the lobby and enjoy their... more

We stayed here for one night in July 2008. The room was small and bathroom even smaller but every thing was clean and well kept. The bed was extremely comfortable and bed linens soft. We had a street view of park ave and the traffic noise was not bad. We turned the AC on & I had earplugs just in... more

I had the opportunity to visit during the July 4th weekend this year, and my travel partner and I stayed at the Clarion Park Av S for the two nights we were in town. Plusses: - Helpful and friendly staff. - Bathroom was immaculate. - COMFY bed. Very nice pillows. Summertime included a duvet cover if you like to have... more

Just got back from a weekend getaway with my significant other. Sure the room was small (but if you are in NYC you should probably not spend too much time inside anyways) and our window looked onto a brick wall, but the room was clean and the bed linens were amazingly soft! The flat screen TV was a nice touch.... more

I just stayed here for 3 nights on business and would prefer not to stay again if it can be avoided. There is nothing horribly wrong except the size of the room. I had a single room with a twin bed. As another review mentioned, there is very little room for any luggage and the room is so small that... more

Upon arrival, this hotel could not make a non-smoking room available, despite that having been specified in the reservation. The room I was forced to endure not only reeked of cigarette smoke that I spent two days with the window open, but was so small that I literally had to turn sideways to go into the bathroom. I wouldn't stay... more

As I was on the phone with the travel agent, I read the reviews on this site and some of them made me nervous but I took a chance. I am glad that I did. As others have written, this hotel is small; the hallways are narrow and the elevator is tiny. But this means that you should NOT bring... more

New York City has to be the most difficult place I've encountered to find a good quality reasonably priced hotel aside from London. Everything on Manhattan seems to be expensive, so you will have to shell out a bit. In the end we booked the Clarion because a friend was staying there, because lets face it - it doesn't have... more

Just got back from 2 nights at the Clarion. Very convenient to the subway. First time we've stayed away from Times Square and it was a nice break from the crowds.Room was large by New York standards and the bathroom very nice. Continental breakfast was ok.Would have been better had the attendant kept the breakfast stocked better instead of continuously... more
