I stayed at the Clarion for a week for some training in July. I found that the staff there was courteous and helpful, the rooms clean and the food satisfactory.

The fitness facility was adequate - machines were working properly and they have a separate weight room just for free weights and weight machines.

The pool is small but I didn't go into it -- filled with kids and parents.

I loved how we had wireless I-net in our rooms free of charge -and adequate number of TV channels as well. The rooms were pretty cold so even in summertime, you may find yourself turning on the heat!

Overall, I thought it was a lovely campus and good hotel. They do a good job there.

I stayed at the Clarion Sat. 8/5/06 and found the hotel to be as expected from the internet photos, however the pool was a disappointment. The pool turned out to be a lot smaller that I was expecting after seeing the online photos. Also, online info said "no need to bring a towel, we have towel service for our guests." When we got there (it WAS late afternoon - appx. 4pm) there were no towels available and we hadn't brought any from home because of the "towel service". This was our only disappointment, everything else was great!

Stayed for 2 weeks attending a conference. The setting is pleasant. There is a wooded trail around the hotel and a nice fitness center. The center organizes power walks around Shepherdstown in the morning.

The room was clean. However, the beds were not changed for the entire 2 weeks, despite placing the placard requesting a change on the bed.

At times, there were strong cooking smells in the hall on the 2nd floor.

Service in the Rumsey Tavern could be very slow. The steaks and sandwiches were okay but none of the pasta dishes could be recommended.

I would stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at the Clarion in beautiful, lovely Shepherdstown and think that October is a wonderful time to go and visit this great location!!! The leaves were changing, the weather was beautiful and the hotel staff was great! I recommend going to the Rumsey Tavern on Wednesday evenings for Karaoke and having dinner in Sebastian's over the weekend. The Front Desk staff was exceptional and I can easily see why this hotel was named Inn of the Year and recently received the Platinum Hospitality Award. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know and you should too!!! Great job Clarion!!!11
