"This hotel is now owned by the Ramda Inn, so the Clarion is a little dated. The pictures and descriptions of this hotel are somewhat deceiving. From what looks like a beautiful hotel, while not terrible, it is nothing to write home about. I had reserved 2 rooms with queen beds. When I checked in, they had given us 2 rooms with 2 doubles and did not have rooms with queen beds for us. We then walked through a dark corridor that was somewhat dingy and not well lit to get to our room on the outside for most of the hotel are the outside rooms. Once in our room, we go to turn the light on between thebed and it does not go on. We waited 30 minutes for someone to bring us a light bulb that we then were given at the door and changed ourselves. Now, while it does not take a genius to change a light bulb, and while it was something that we were quite capable of, the customer service of the hotel staff left something to be desired. The living quarters were adequate for our needs, but a queen bed would have been much preferred.Now there was one great benefit that my family enjoyed while staying at this hotel. It served a hot breakfast buffet. This was not your ordinary continental breakfast with pastries and dry ceral. We had eggs, suasage, biscuits, grits, and waffles. It really was great. So while not a terrible hotel, I had hoped it would have been a slighly better experience than the one that we had."
