Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The next time you are planning an event you should seriously consider this location. I've planned events before and their professional staff dotted I's and crossed T's I didn't think to even ASK about. They will make you, the planner look like you've really got your act together and if you DO know what you're doing they're even MORE impressive. We had a very strict budget to work with and they gave me amazing options that worked within that budget. I ran into a few snafu's on my part, Dinesh and Arvin had me covered with minimal effort on their part but massive impact on mine. I was one of the event coordinators for the 2024 Libertarian of Illinois Convention and they made me look amazing with their attention to detail. Every single staff member was warm and friendly. There was someone available during every moment of our event in case we needed something last minute, and they delivered!!! The property itself is posh but inviting at the same time. A lot of natural light, which when you're at a convention or any type of workshop it's a treat to be able to go outside and get fresh air or just change your scenery for a bit. The food was delish, everyone at our event raved. It was all hot and fresh and they replenished to keep it that way. Trust them on servings, there was plenty for people to have a second helping if they wanted but not too much to where there was a lot of waste. The staff is a professional well oiled machine, they know what they're doing and they make it look easy.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s a cozy , very clean hotel with a pool. They allow dogs which is a plus for us! Close to the Oakbrook mall where they have lots of shops and restaurants. The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back to stay again!

I stayed at the Clarion Inn in Elmhurst, IL for 3 nights. On the first night someone came into my room which took me by surprise and scared me also. The manager did come to offer her apologies and gave me a goody bag; however, I was unable to sleep that night and was constantly looking at the door although I had locked it and put the latch on for extra security. I did accept the apology and the goody bag, yet I felt like what should have been offered was at least one-night free stay crediting the reservation that was made. This did not happen and in the future may not want to stay there or refer anyone else due to the severity of the incident that occurred. The room was nice, and the room cleaned and sterilized and the children did enjoy the indoor pool. I am just not happy with what happened because it put my life into jeopardy and anything could have gone really wrong, so unless Clarion Inn Elmhurst, IL gives me a free night stay, I probably would choose another hotel in the surrounding area to stay my next visit.

My husband booked the room, and we needed to change the dates for our visit a week afterwards. They had already charged our credit card for the visit two months in advance, would not change the dates for our reservation, and would not give us a refund. This is the worst business practice I have ever seen. Don't book a room at this hotel, they are not customer friendly at all. Also, I waited for over 30 minutes just to speak with a representative, who was very difficult to understand.

We were booked here by friends, and family, for a 3 day country dance event. Many of the dancers stayed here as well. The carpet was as crappy as could be. The hallway had wrinkles, and our room, it was kind of sticky, like it may have had gum or something on it. Our stool felt like it was only a foot off the floor. Our son's room, had a piece of the ceiling falling down. He asked for another room. The one they gave him, the TP holder came off the wall, when he pulled the paper. This place is a disaster waiting to happen. The shower worked by pulling the spout down to activate the shower head. Find another place to stay if you can.

I often have to stay at this Clarion when I’m in town for business and they never disappoint. Nice room, helpful staff and located right off of highways. They offer a shuttle service for nearby Walmart runs. Overall, great value. I’d recommend. Special kudos to Steven! He’s usually the front desk clerk when I come

Tried to use TV and went to the desk twice for help. They said their systems were not in sync and many of the remotes did not work with the LG tvs which were outdated. They said they could not do anything about it. They also said they were out of coffee and waiting for a delivery.

For the incredibly low price, our stay was all that we expected. The only negative parts were the completely empty lobby/closed common areas/ lack of people there and some very worn down furniture in the room. I was nervous about the cleanliness but was pleased with the sanitized toilet and wrapped remote, etc. the bed was probably my least favorite part because it felt a little dirty but not too bad and worth the low price!

We stayed here 2 nights in Oct 2021. We were on the 2nd floor but since there are no elevators to the 2nd floor so we had to drag our suitcases up a flight of stairs. The bed was mostly comfortable and most things worked in the room. However, the carpets need cleaning and the room is severely outdated. I did contact the front desk for extra towels and they came in 15 minutes with a smile. The hotel is in sort of an industrial area with nothing really walk-able nearby. Very budget oriented hotel that needs an update.
