“A Solid Hotel, Right Next to ESPN Headquarters”
When a freak October snowstorm knocked out power in Connecticut I quickly booked here, as it's close to work. By the time I checked in the entire state had gone crazy, with people clamoring to rent hotel rooms because they had no heat or hot water. The Clarion staff was under the gun and obviously stressed out but never let it affect how they treated the customers. Additionally, even though they had to turn away people who were just showing up trying to get a room, they were making the extra effort and tracking down rooms anywhere in the state they could find them for people. This hotel is immediately adjacent to ESPN headquarters and always has rather interesting media and sports characters filtering through it. It's a solid, clean, 3 star hotel. Lastly, when my power was restored and I no longer needed the room I had already paid for I let a co-worker and her daughter take it over. The next day the staff extended her time there for two days, even though she had no reservations, simply because she was already staying there, which was very nice of them. Good hotel, good people.
