The room was fine, and the staff was excellent, but it wasn’t clear to me from the photos that this is a motel – like your door opens to the outside. It met our needs and seemed clean but could use some updating.

Three different and RUDE Housekeepers came to our door without knocking and pushed the door. We told them we are packing up and getting out soon but they didn’t have any communication even with their manager and they were coming one after another!!! It was only 15 minutes passed the check out time and one of the workers who was a man, was waiting outside and giving an angry look to my girlfriend and scared her. Very RUDE and POOR housekeeping service and of course I will report that Harassment to the right place!

The service was excellent. Cleanliness okay--The bathroom was not 100 percent clean. The floor in the bathroom was dirty in the corners. The bedroom was clean and the beds were clean and comfortable.

The room was recently refurbished. It was small, but clean and functional. The pictures are quite deceiving, as it is a much smaller room and facilities than it appears on Hotels.com. Staff was generally helpful. Breakfast is not diabetic-friendly, mostly carbs.

I visit lot of places and motels were average to best. This one - To be honest, Terrible experience. Bed bugs, flies and insects. Had an option to change the room, same thing, had to vacate early. Shown the pics to General Manager Andy, initially tried to convince saying it’s quite common but when I shown the ants and flies videos (and in-person) he assured he will clean and promised me to refund the stay which I didn’t stay. He said already put a note to Expedia about refund. Been waiting to get the refund. Expedia says none from Clarion Pointe motel acknowledging. I kept calling, receptionist Justine said to call back in a day or two but been waiting for 3 weeks. Lame/unresponsive/irresponsible is this how you run the business?? Will update you all on refund status.

Star is an amazing employee and a joy to interact with. Room was clean, bed and pillows comfortable, and walk-in shower nice. Older building…needs renovation. Floor sags a bit near bathroom. I always stay at Clarion Point as price is good and people pleasant. Rooms can be hit and miss.
