Average hotel apparently catering to gas field workers. All outside doors and the hotel lets the gas well guys sit outside the doors and drink. Not comfortable to families and women entering the buildng.

I wanted to take the time to respond to the review you posted about our hotel security. I first want to apologize for the lack of security efforts on our part. One of our top priorities is the safety and security of our guests. It is strickly against our safety standards to allow any guest to gather near the entrance... More

This hotel has a lot going for it, but I couldn't give it five stars. The staff was very friendly, more friendly than I normally encounter, from the front desk staff to the staffer responsible for the breakfast set up. Check-in was easy and quick and check-out was even easier and quicker. The room was spacious and clean with a... More

Comfortable rooms, but tiny bathroom, which needs updating as do the hallways. Awkward layout with first and second floors plus a midlevel at the far end. Restaurant, which also was breakfast area, and bar were much more than expected at such a property.

I don't know how Clarion got their hands on this place. Or maybe the question should be, Why did they get their hands on this place. The staff was great. They were very helpful and friendly. I give them 5 stars. But I can only give the hotel 2 at best. The staff did their best with what they have.... More

This hotel is so overpriced it is amazing! If I were paying for a musty, smoke filled, 70s flashback this hotel would be well worth $125 but this hotel is terribly overpriced. Not only is it over priced the Clarion is gouging its customers due to the gas and power companies HAVING to stay here. Avoid this hotel if you... More

We picked this hotel because it was on our route, was pet friendly, was easy-on easy-off the interstate, and had a restaurant. It did not disappoint. I had never stayed in a Clarion before, and we really liked it. The lobby, room, and bathroom were very clean. We had room service which was timely, and the food was hot. Staff... More

This place is fine for an over night on a long distance car trip. The rooms are a bit dated but clean and comfortable. Be sure to avoid the rooms at the end of the hallways by the stair wells - noisy. The hotel is located up a large hill from the interstate - decent view and far enough away... More

Used to stay here when it was under a different name. It was dated, worn and needed renovation. Now under Clarion Inn, they have renovated it and the rooms are more than average now. Definitely cleaner, crispier and comfortable night sleep. Like other reviewers said, the staffs are great too! Did not eat at the restaurant but I have also... More
