The staff were extremely helpful and kind. The hotel is old and has been updated. In cases of updating you can see the corners that were cut in the bathroom. When we let the water run in the shower, something black was coming from the side of the shower. The wallpaper was coming apart through out the room. The hotel needs a full renovation.

The keys would desensitize if they came into contact with your credit card so we couldn’t keep them in our wallets. The toilet was broken and the entire 6th floor smelt like cigarettes. The place was super dark and dank. Would not recommend - we left a half hour after arriving and booked other accommodations (maintenance had not showed up by that point).

Never again !!!

The staff was amazing front desk and restaurant staff were great . The hotel itself however needs an overhaul. I would not want to stay there again . It took 30 -45 minutes for the water to get hot . Yes we had to let it run that long . Mind you we needed to be at the airport by 6 am for an inter flight!! I am not going to go into all the other problems / issues . Management knows !!! But your staff was great .

I don’t usually leave reviews, but our stay at the Clarion Hotel in Pennsylvania was unacceptable. We arrived around 3 PM but were told our room wasn’t ready, so we left and returned later. When we finally checked in, we were immediately disgusted. The carpet was filthy, stained, and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. In the bathroom, we found a used bar of soap with a nail clipper on top — absolutely unacceptable and unsafe, especially with our baby traveling with us. The lack of cleanliness extended to every part of the hotel: the hallways, elevators, and even the snack area were dusty and dirty. Hair was visible everywhere. Although the front desk staff was polite, they admitted the situation was out of their control. We originally requested a room with a couch but were told they were overbooked. After we contacted Expedia about the conditions, the hotel tried to move us to another room, but we refused because we didn’t trust that any other room would be cleaner. We were so disgusted that we packed up and drove all the way home the same night. I would give this hotel zero stars if I could. No family should have to pay $200 to stay somewhere so poorly maintained. Ownership and management seriously need to take responsibility and clean up this property. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. Spend your money elsewhere — you deserve better.

I felt like I was working for the hotel. Front desk not friendly. NO Hospitality at all. All the staff looked like they were miserable. I went down in the morning to ask for an extra towel for my Son. This was 8:30am. In a not friendly voice. She said she didn’t have any and I would have to wait till after 9 AM when the housekeepers got there. Absolutely unbelievable. The other.
