Staff was helpful & friendly. Pool & hot tub were clean & well kept. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Hotel was very noisy. We could hear conversations happening outside our windows even with them closed, also a lot of noise from the hallway & upstairs. A very nice hotel, just wish it was better insulated for sound

I’m very spoiled by staying in fabulous motels, but was looking for a cheap overnight to shop in Appleton. The room decor could really use some help. I will say I had everything I needed, and a comfortable bed, but the decor was not great. Some paint, cheerful artwork, and a new mirror and light in the bathroom would go a long way! The bathroom was very depressing as the floor and walls looked like a concrete color and was depressing. I will say it was a comfortable bed and the shower surround was new and very nice. My full breakfast in the restaurant was great, and only cost me $2.11 over the allowed $6.50 voucher.

I chose this hotel because it had great reviews for cleanliness and it had a hottub…. However… it was really sketchy. The room was outdated, somewhat clean, but many items were broken (lamp, window shades, fridge) or just plain gross. The pool area was especially gross- leftover food around the hottub, no towels, etc. I was dissuaded by the reviews but NO WAY. Not recommended. Won’t be staying again. I will say that the front desk staff was really helpful. And the restaurant next door was *way* cleaner and nicer than expected.

Arrived and room was dirty. Fingernail clippings on carpet and bathroom floor. Sink would not drain. Sock from previous guest in room! Unable to sleep as I was creeped out by the filth. Advertised free breakfast, but it was a voucher for $6.50 at the restaurant which got you a single pancake! Noisy! Pool hours were til 11. Hard to get kids to sleep with the noise. Consider adults only after 10. Access to pool and hot tub were limited and difficult as birthday parties took over pool area. Used to think Clarion Hotels were good. After this I will not book at clarion again.

I always enjoy staying here when I come to Appleton. The rooms are always clean, it’s conveniently located for restaurants, stores and even public transportation (bus stops). The pool and hot tub area is my favorite. The rates are very reasonable. Any time I encounter a staff member they’re always pleasant.

Noisy!
Better bring noise cancelling headphones. The pool is in the atrium and the rooms surround it. Everything echoes so until the pool closes you can hear all the talking, splashing, and screaming kids in your room even with the TV on. Add to this that the Mad Apple bar/restaurant is attached to the hotel and it's the same noise level as the pool between the customers talking and laughing and the music playing, plus the aroma of the food permeates even to the second floor of the hotel. You get a voucher for breakfast at this restaurant, but have to pay an upcharge on most menu items plus tax and tip so breakfast is not free. The room itself was clean and updated. The pool and hot tub were good but could use a resurface. The desk staff were introverted. Price for the room was average. Stayed midweek so not a full hotel. Two floors and only stairs.

This is a hidden gem. A little dated but very comfortable. The room was clean and the bed was nice. The pool area is very spacious and clean also. The attached bar and grill had great food, drinks and a fantastic spacious patio with 2 big fire pits. We had a wonderful stay and would stay again if in the area.
