Clarion Suites is a hotel in a beautiful and historic location right on the Mississippi River, offering guests peaceful, relaxing views of the water and boat traffic. Many guests find the rooms to be nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff is consistently described as friendly, polite, and accommodating. The hotel has a restaurant and bar on the premises, which is considered a nice perk. However, the property is older and many guests feel it needs major updates. Common criticisms include a persistent musty or moldy smell in the building, uneven floors, damp carpet, peeling wallpaper, and malfunctioning amenities like elevators, automatic patio doors, and the hot tub. The breakfast receives mixed reviews, with some finding it good but others reporting it is a let down with limited items compared to the past, sometimes running out of food. While some find everything in working order, others note issues like an extremely hot vending room and a closed pool. Overall, it is seen as a hotel with lots of potential in a wonderful location, but its condition is inconsistent and can be disappointing for guests expecting a fully updated or reliably maintained experience.
We came in the winter time so there wasn’t a lot going on, but there’s so much history and it is a beautiful location and the staff was very nice. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
