Just got back from a great weekend at the Clarion. My girlfriends and I spend three days quilting in one of the conference rooms. The entire staff from the front desk to restaurant and tavern employees were gracious, helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone considering it.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, the food was great. We are planning on doing this again soon.

I was a bit worried about staying here as I read these reviews after booking the room. We were not here very long, but the on-line reservations saved me about $13 off list price, and the check-in process was smooth. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. I liked the fact that they had extra pillows on the bed (not skimpy ones either). The only "smell" I detected was a industrial-cleanser type odor, which seemed to be coming from the comforter, which we removed from the bed. The t.v could have been a bit more modern, and I don't think words could explain the hairdryer - which looked more like a vacuum cleaner than anything else. But, this property is very close to German Street (the main drag), and the breakfast was good, though room service was a bit slow - would recommend going to restaurant if in a hurry. I would stay here again.

I'll admit it - I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to hotel. I'm an event planner and my clients usually house me upscale properties. That said, I was very nervous about staying at the Clarion in Sheperdstown. I was pleasantly surprised. The the hotel had no frills, but was clean, had basic amenities and was convenient to Harpers Ferry.

Stayed here for a recent Antietam visit and enjoyed the experience. Not a lot of choices for the area, and the hotel is convenient if you are visiting the battlefield.

We had no complaints and enjoyed the stay. Booked two rooms for two nights at a very good price, and the rooms were fine: spacious, clean, no smells and everything in satisfactory working condition. The WiFi worked perfectly throughout the entire stay in our rooms and in the restaurant/bar area.

A highlight was the staff, service and food at Rumsey's Tavern. Everyone was friendly, helpful and prompt. The food was well prepared. There was live music both Friday & Saturday night, and supposedly other days of the week as well.

The breakfast buffet was adequate and reasonably priced, nothing special.

Someone mentioned in a previous review the dedicated parking spaces near the entrance for hotel staff. This didn't affect us one bit as we parked on the side closer to our room, but this practice does seem a little odd. I didn't get a chance to ask hotel mgmt about it, but am curious why they do this?

I would recommend the hotel to others and would stay here again if visiting the area.
