The pool at this hotel has been out of service since the summer of 2008; I can not believe that a company as reputable as Choice Hotels would allow a location with the Clarion name to be in this condition. Hallways to the rooms are full of water leakage from rooms A/C and bad drainage. The room had all kinds... more

For a moderately priced hotel, this one was better than many others I have stayed in. From the curb, the hotel wouldn't seem all that appealing, but the beds were comfortable, the rooms are clean, there is a well kept pool, and a free (on weekends) breakfast buffet. The buffet was quite extensive. Most of the equipment in the exercise... more

I'm reviewing this for the price that practically everyone else would have had to pay (~$200/night) instead of my govt rate I somehow was able to pull off. Check-in was a breeze, thankfully. At first glance, the room looked fine (after staying at Best Western in Auburn, most anything is incredible, tho). Nothing was broken, except the tv had some... more

We stopped there on our way to GA. We checked in at 12:50am and had to check out at 4:15 am. I was covered in hives and I know it was bug bites. Noise from air conditioner and loud people outside . Musty carpet an just plain nasty. Ice machine broken and pool out of order. more

First lets start with check in. I had a question and or request and the young lady who checked me in could not help me and stated i need to ask the manager. Well, it turns out that the Manager was on a personal call and the fact that i was standing there waiting on her meant nothing to her.... more

There was no toilet paper, no towels, and no soap, and to top it off the rooms weren't even clean. Oh, and there was no A/C (the temperature in Gainesville was in the mid 90s, with over 90% humidity). We went to talk to the front desk agent, and there was already a large group complaining about the same problem.... more

The carpet was filthy, the bathtub stained, and a dank musty smell pervaded the room. The loud & rattling air conditioner cycled on and off all night making sleep impossible. The tissue holder in the bathroom fell out of the wall at the first touch. There was no shampoo, only hand soap. The toilet would not flush if someone was... more

In February, all the Gainesville hotels were already full for the University of Florida graduation the first weekend in May. On a whim, I checked back in April and found the Clarion had a room for $209 per night. I knew we were paying a premium for a major weekend and the convenience. However, if I were Management, I'd be... more

I was staying with my son's traveling soccer team on March 20th and 21st with check out on the 22nd. While I was loading my vehicle the housekeeper entered my room and stoled cash out of my purse. My son walked in the room when she was in there and even told me her name. When I went to the... more
