I had a mixed experience at the Clarion Hotel. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the location was perfect for accessing restaurants and the airport. However, I faced significant issues with cleanliness in my room and the lack of regular housekeeping. Overall, the staff was friendly and helpful, but there were some maintenance problems that affected my stay.

Honestly, the breakfast here was terrible. The eggs were soggy and the fruit seemed off. The only redeemable item was the bacon. I was even comped for the meal because it was that bad, so definitely avoid the restaurant.
