It was the worst motel that I have ever stayed in, and probably one of the most expensive. If it hadnt been so late when we arrived, I would have gone someplace else. The breakers in our rooms kept blowing, and made me fear for our safety. I went so far as to show my kids the escape routes in case of fire. Needless to say, I did not sleep well at all on their tiny, overpriced beds. I wil never stay there again, and would never recommend it to anyone in my organization. To top it off, the "continental breakfast" was awful.

The Clye Hotel was rated by Hotels as a 2 and a half star hotel. It should just get a half star. We stayed in a room with a queen size bed, and if faced the street. The bar/club across the street was so noisy that we asked to move to another room at midnight. The rooms on the quiet side of the hotel only have double beds. We then asked if our room charge would be reduced to reflect the smaller room and the management didn't make a refund. The historic steam heating system does not work very well it is either too hot or cold. There is no bell service and parking is an additional $20 and not convenient.

This hotel's website wastes a lot of space talking about their refurbished lobby and the architectural style of the building's exterior. They totally avoid the info that would keep people away - the fact that the rooms don't have basic necessities like phones or clocks! The bathroom may have a clawfoot tub but the sink is in the room beside the bed! Ridiculously overpriced at $140 for a so-called suite. If they're so concerned with being historical, why provide a TV when there's no phone or clock radio?

For what it offers, this hotel is not a good value. Glowingly described as "restored" and "historic", the reality was a small, hot, dark room with no ventilation, no electrical outlets, poor TV reception, that smelled of stale smoke. Parking was a huge hassle. Management is petty and unconcerned with customer satisfaction and the overall ambiance was creepy. Unless you are primarily interested in the loud and active social scene in this block, you should avoid this hotel.
