The first step room I went into was awful and caulking everywhere. I would not have given this ring to nobody then I went into the second room and it had no heat. And there was other things like there was no plugs in either one of the wounds it was nasty, the food was not filling, I was very unsatisfied i told the at the desk , i would not have bought my animals to be here because it was so awful. I was looking forward to staying at the facility but I was very disappointed in the way. Things were, they had one person that worked there and they were helpful. But still I was told I should have never got that room and then the room last was not that great either.

Room needed painting and updating. Bed was clean, towels and bathroom were fine. TV was just sitting without a stand leaning against the wall. I’m a low maintenance traveler, it met my needs for the night.

I recently stayed at the Clariton Inn and had an extremely disappointing experience. The hotel was very dirty, with bugs present in the room and noticeable stains on the walls. The bed sheets also had stains, which made the stay quite unpleasant. Despite being moved three times to different rooms, I was never properly accommodated, and the overall cleanliness was consistently poor. I would not recommend this hotel.
