We stayed here for one night before a very early flight. I originally booked because they had a park and fly option and the hotel we normally use was booked. But the shuttle doesn't begin until 5 am and our flight left at 5:45 so it wasn't worth cutting it that close. We just ended up driving which wasn't a... More

This hotel has a nice lobby and friendly front desk staff. That was it. The hallways and elevator were very smoke-filled at all times. (We were there for a long while.) The room we had was dark, dresser drawers did not close, dirty remote, exposed pipe in the bathroom, spotted fixtures. There were only 2 outlets not being used for... More

I stayed here for two days on business in early March. The shuttle pick up from the airport was fast and convenient and the driver was extremely pleasant. The staff at this hotel were all so nice and made me feel very welcome. The staff in 33rd Street bar/restaurant were a pleasure to deal with. The food is typical bar... More

The best part of the stay was the staff - especially the wait and bar staff in 33rd St Bar and Grill. They were attentive and very pleasant. The rooms however are really in need of work. I agree with another reviewer on the overall smell of the place - the entire place (rooms side not the bar/restuarant side) had... More

We had our wedding reception at the Clarion and it was great! The hotel staff is very friendly and is ready to serve you the best they can. Our shuttle driver wasn't great... We had a shuttle take me and my bridesmaids to the church and he had no idea where he was going (luckily I knew where we were... More

I'm usually not very picky, but a hotel has to have the basics especially when you are on an important business trip. I was situated on the 5th floor, and there is no internet signal there at all. It was very poor. Second, it's near the train tracks, so you hear the train in the afternoon and late at night.... More

Hotel staff are friendly enough, decor is dated, rooms are OK but in need of modernising. Bathroom was like something from the 1970's! Proximity to railway line meant the hotel was noisy all the time, trains blowing their horn all hours of day and night. We paid a corporate rate, which was cheap not surprising for the hotel standard. Previously... More

We stay here back in August again. This hotel is very nice and the rooms are excellent. The bar was nice, as well as the indoor pool and hot tub. The front desk was outstanding in their service. The food was great, although it was a bit over priced for the all you can eat breakfast at 14.95 I believe.... More
