So so stay

Best part of the stay was the time spent in the pool area. Beds were comfy, but in general the property was run down. For 200$ per night CAD, I expected more and would have appreciated daily housekeeping,

I’ll lower my expectations next time

The location was fantastic for what we were doing. However, the hotel, as a whole, is in need of updating. Dresser drawers that stuck or would all open at once, leaking shower, broken door chain, hot tub not functioning, and the breakfast was not something we came back to after the first morning. Not horrible, but food items were out or on the last one. Skim milk is not a good option most guests. It was still a good place for us to stay and enjoy the surrounding areas.

An Interesting Stay

I checked in on a Wednesday, and was so happy to get my room a little early. Upon entering the room, I noticed the room smelled funny, but did not think anything of it. As I went to bed, individuals in other rooms around me started to scream, and run outside. I also felt things crawling on me, which seemed a bit weird. In the middle of the night, I turned the light on and thought I saw bugs on the floor, but was not sure. The next day, I found cockroaches in the bathroom, on my pillow, and on the desk. Once I notified the front desk, they immediately gave me another room on the other side of the property, which was great. The room smelled clean, the unit had an updated bathroom, and the bed was very comfortable. The rest of my stay was pleasant. The staff was very helpful in moving me quickly, and the breakfast was nice to have every morning. When I went to check out, very early Saturday morning, the clerk at the front desk was asleep, and I think I scared him by mistake when I came into the lobby. The hotel was very close to my business meetings so the location was very convenient for me.

Several breakfast machines not working. the breakfast attendant was not very welcoming. Okay for an overnight stay but would not recommend staying longer

It may well not be the hotel’s fault considering the hurricanes that have hit the area but the hotel is taking on a beach property sort of appearance, room doors that have poor fit showing daylight around the edges. Housekeeping, however, is slipshod and grudging done, such as a bath towel having been removed from the bathroom floor and placed back on the towel rack for further use.

Series of unfortunate events...

First off, I got to the check-in encounter and the new person was so enthralled on her phone, that she did not even notice that I had been standing there for how long. I had to say something in order for her to put her phone down and help me. The second issue was that our suite was overbooked, so we had to get another room, with 2 double beds, instead of the king, with the pull out sofa. My husband's elbow dug into my ribs the whole night and my 6'6" son was hanging out of his bed. None of us got any sleep and we had a big conference, which we were falling asleep at, the next day.

Property needs a lot of maintenance. Backed up tub. No housekeeping with a weeks stay. Front staff joked even if we requested it probably wouldn’t happen. We asked for towels halfway through our visit and did not receive them. Would stay elsewhere next time.

Parking lot had garbage scattered about. Room had a 3/4 quarter full toilet paper roll and a roll that was maybe 1/4 full. TV Remote would not work but maintenance came and swapped it out. Construction was ongoing in the front and access to the front lobby was limited.

Read the fine print

The property looked nothing like the pictures, the rooms were supposed to be king bed not too double. Great to see that they’re doing some updating to the exterior where the interior is lacking a level of professionalism or proper maintenance.

I can see that they try to keep this superficially clean but it is just so worn out that it must be an uphill battle. The restaurant is a joke. walked in looked around and walked out. same with the breakfast room. positively dismal. every surface of every part I saw was worn. what bothered me most was the cloud of fruit flies coming out of the batheroom drains and a healthy population of roaches. Another interesting fun feature was a hole on the drywall next to the towel rack that you could peep into the engineering space behind the wall. made me wonder if the staff were peeping the rooms. but then again, I never saw any housekeeping or engineering staff the entire time.I spent very little time in the room and frankly didnt have time to go anywhere else. So I lived with it. I wont cheap out next time and will stay down town or near the Tampa airport. but never here. In other parts of the counrty I've found Clarion to be very good......NOT THIS ONE
