I had stayed in this hotel years ago when it was a Comfort Inn, so I thought I would stay there again. The rate of $69 was fair. The outside leaves a bit to be desired as did other elements of the hotel because of its age. However, the room I stayed in was very nice. Somewhat of a suite. The room and the hotel had a bearable odor, but overal I have to give this stay a B-. That's about the best I can say for it.

My husband and I stayed in this hotel last night. The room was very nice and clean, bed was comfey, Loved the bed spread,( I would love to have one just like it)! AC worked great! I thought I may freeze! Bathroom was very clean and stocked well.(could have had better soap) Around the pool was very pretty with lots of shrubs and such. The only thing I didn't like was how dark the hall way was. The halls could really use more lights.

I have stayed in this hotel every year for the Lafayette rodeo for 5 years! Its old and run down, how ever the staff were always very nice. (when it was Comfort Inn) We just returned from Clarion and I am so glad that I dont have to spend another night in that place. Renovations signs are posted everywhere and nothing is redone. All doors were busted locks didnt work. Floors were filthy, ( my husband found a black welted banana and rotten orange on the window seal. Mold on walls and on some of the Pictures. Toilet hung up and ran constance. Bathrooms were filthy, tub looked like it had not been cleaned in years.
Always got voicemail when we called the front desk. Finally when they did answer they were rude! Four persons in a room for 4 days and all we received was 3 wash clothes. We had to bath with huge hand towels. ROACHES!!!! Thats all im gonna say about that!!
If it were not a business trip and paid for by my company, we would have left there within the first 10 mins. When it was the Comfort Inn we didnt have that many problems, atleast the staff was nice and catered to our needs. The new management and Clarion hotel is horriable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Clarion, Lafayette has recently changed there flag from the Comfort Inn. The hotel advertises that it has been recently renovated but my room must have been left out. The quality of the hotel was dismal. After check in, I had to change rooms twice. In the first room, the refrigerator was broken. I was given another room and, as soon as I walked in, saw roaches on the wall. I finally settled on my third room.
The room had been recently painted and had a new bathroom vanity. Everything else was worn. The shower was a stained. The toilet was some sort of "spaced aged" 1980's contraption that worked poorly. It was very hard to find an outlet to plug in my laptop and cell phone into. A power outlet, behind the bed, looked dangerous and was uncovered. The room became very humid at night because i could never get the in-room dehumidifier to work properly. Besides, when I check into a hotel, I don't want to spend time figuring out how to keep the room less humid. One final point. My room looked NOTHING like the room pictured on the website. I had cheap bed linens, and second hand furniture.
Breakfast was a bust. The "free, hot continental breakfast" was located inside the hotel's restaurant. At first, I was excited to see a variety of hot items such as bacon and eggs. I was than approached by a member of the staff informing me that the hot breakfast buffet was $5.99 "plus tip". I told the staff that i was staying at the hotel and showed them my room key therefor was entitled to a free breakfast. The staff then pointed me to a folding table in the corner with cereal, thawed muffins and the like. I guess the "free, hot continental breakfast" advertised meant that you were allowed to microwave instant oatmeal.
Overall, I wont be staying here again. I have stayed at much better properties around the Lafayette area at a much cheaper price.
