I was expecting the rooms to be nicer then they were especially considering the price. Musty/stuffy smelling. Stayed on the 2nd floor. Would have been much nicer if the window opened. Pool area very nice though. The young girls at the front desk had no clue when it came to directions to local attractions.

I was very disappointed with this so called three star hotel. I would rate it at a two/two and a half star at best. The hotel is deceiving from the outside and from the lobby (both of which are nice). However the rooms are in desperate need for remodeling. The room had a musty smell. The box spring was stained on the sides. The bathroom was the worst feature of the room. The bathtub was missing molding/caulk and was riddled with mildew. The sink was also cracked and dirty. Also there was no ventilation in the bathroom. Even after a warm/short shower the bathroom remained fogged up for 20+ minutes (making the vanity area useless). The room also missed a lot of little common sense touches (like a trash can in the bathroom). However the housekeeping staff did not forget to leave behind an envelope for tips! Definitely stay some place else (like the Bavarian Inn or the new Holiday Inn Express in Charles Town).

I stay at the Clarion on a regular basis, at least 10 to 20 times per year, and it's always a good stay. The Rumsey Tavern and Sebastians are reliable (mostly) for a good meal and drink at a decent price, and the rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable (nice beds, great heating and AC, etc.). The staff is always friendly and as a native of the Eastern Panhandle who now lives in Alexandria, VA, I find the Clarion a nice step forward for hotel offerings in the eastern WV. I've stayed here for years and will continue to do so.

nice location, pretty public areas, but the best reason to stay here is the staff at Rumseys Tavern. They are absolutely awesome! Food was good, nice draft selection. We will return (we are motorcycle travelers, this is prime motorcycle territory) just to visiit with the hardworking staff at Rumseys!
