Clarion Carson

plain & simple: WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN
Go to the Home Depot Center for boxing events. Have always stayed here when it was the Clarion. NEVER had any type of issues & if I remember correctly, the free breakfasts were not bad.
Then it changed to Motel 6. Requested handicap accessible, got 2^nd floor room with no elevators. Card key was hard to work, room smelled funny, multiple ‘mystery stains’, broken/​missing features, phone was hollow (?).
The only ‘pros’ I can give is the air conditioning and wi-​fi worked.

Waited 2hrs to get the online chick in in, wIted in lobby, finally got the fax it said that they where paying 36.00 a night, what? 219.00 is what they carved me for 4 days,
4 days of a crappy hotel. I leave in the mon to do activitys. Come back at 3 and my room is still not made, it was made once in the 4 nights I was there.
Oh in room microwave and small fridge, it your lucky they work, I calle 4 times to get a microwave thT worked, none. I was aske to come to lobby to use the one there, I asked if I could change rooms. No go. Oh, I got a smoking room when I don’t smoke, WTF.
neighbor hood sucks, I put the chair under the door knob,
If you can afford SOMTHING else go there,

Booked a room at the Carson motel 6 because of the close proximity to my new job, and the first time we got a new room (they are remodeling) but the second time we were put in the worst hotel room ever. We tried to check in at 3 pm and were told it wasn’t ready and to come back in an hour. At 4 we came back and the room still wasn’t ready. We came again at 5:30 and were told 5 – 10 more minutes. I just wanted to drop off my luggage and get a hot shower instead I had to live out of my car for almost 4 hours. When we complained the rep at the counter wasn’t interested in hearing about it. The room we were put in is so bad it shouldn’t even occupied by anyone. It was supposed to be a non-​smoking room but reeks of smoke and had cigarette burns all over the walls which obviously have not been wiped down in a LONG time. The neighboring occupants were smoking so much weed the entire building was engulfed in smoke; no joke it was coming through our bathroom vent so thick we had to shut the door and turn on the exhaust fan and it still was so strong. I was in the Carson area for employment and had to do the urine sample thing, and now I am concerned I will test positive because I had to sleep in weed smoke all night. The management refused to move us to a new room. There are splatters and drips of unknown filth everywhere, on the walls, counters, mirrors, table, TV, you name it. I’m not sure why it took so long to get us into a room considering they don’t actually clean the rooms between occupants, I would be surprised if they changed the sheets also. The shower produced a trickle of water, it’s broken and the bed is old, lumpy and useless, the TV was snowy, the carpet has rips and burn marks. I could go on but what’s the point. It’s ghetto and the employees don’t do their job, the managers don’t give a f^@% about customer service. I am uploading photos so everyone can see what I had to deal with. Don’t be fooled by the fake photos on their site. Avoid this place at all costs!

I worked here and the owners changed the brand to a motel 6. The few things i thought were good about the property are gone, such

Do not waste your time at this hotel. first of all the rooms are very dated The Tv’s don’t work mine was snowy,. The room smelled like mildew at times. The breakfast sucked! They had to move my sister to another room cuz the shower didn’t work and as they were walking down the hall to the new room they saw a blood trail on the wall. My other friends room look liked someone committed a murder in the bed because blood was all around the box spring and blood stains on the sheets can I just say nasty ewwwww! They are doing construction work inside the building so maybe it will be better! I could go on but what would be the point! On the upside the staff was very nice especially the young lady named Toni at the front desk and they did discount our stay.

Whenever you show up with rotor rooter in the driveway and the computers are down, it’s like oh crap priceline has entrapped me for 2 days…
There was no fitness center and the breakfast was daintily put together. The TV was tube and 1973 fuzzy! There was also no cover on the drain in the tub that was readily holding water. Yuk! Bed were ok but the pillows were lacking depth!
But hey! The pool looked nice…
Just Keep looking…

If it were possible to give less than one star, I would but, alas, Unilocal does not give one this option.
There are only two reasons to recommend this hotel. The first is based on price and second is because the hotel itself is located very close to a mall and decent restaurants. Please note that I do not recommend this hotel if you want a nice, clean and odor free place to stay.
We stayed on the second floor of what was supposed to be a non-​smoking section. It was far from that. As my daughter said, «this place is ok if you keep your eyes closed and don’t breathe.» Really couldn’t have said it better myself.
The Wi-​Fi, while free, operates slowly and intermittently. There was a period of about 2 hours where I could not get on the network. I guess you get what you pay for.
I probably won’t stay at this hotel again unless I have no other choice. It is sad because the hotel is in such a good location, it has a pool and a fitness center (which was out of order). It could be a decent place to stay if only it didn’t look and smell the way it did.

I felt completely deceived by the pictures, on the website. The rooms look nothing like the pictures. We got a non-​smoking room that smelled like smoke, because there are smoking rooms right across the hall, so the enitre hallway and rooms smelled like smoke. Carpets were dirty and had holes in them. Chairs were dirty, trim was coming off the wall. Water pressure in the shower was low. Fitness Center was not in use.
Paid $ 88($ 97 with tax) for this horrible room. The only nice things were the bed were comfortable, and the lobby was nice (as seen in the picture).
The area is not bad, its right across from a mall, lots of places to eat.
Good thing we were only down there one night for the CIF football championships.
My advice do not stay there until they fix it up.

This hotel was ok we like the fact that it was walking distance to alot of businesses including a buffet (right next door!!!) Drinks in the vending machine are $ 2 a drink so come prepared (there’s a fridge in the room). Staff was friendly and accomidating… and they allowed us to check out at 1pm (woohoo) It like a labryinth walking through the hotel… there’s like a bigillion rooms… we got lost the first time from the front to our room and back. The décor of the room is old… it’s rated 2 and a half stars but its more like a 2 star but the hotel lobby’s nice. There is a lot of the things in the area so it increases the return value to a may be. Plus we got it for cheap :) no complaints here.

This review is based on my own experience, and also my parents.
My parents checked in a day ahead of us, they received a room that had water damage and mold! My mom has asthma and is extremely sensitive to allergens so they asked for a new room. They were given a choice of three rooms they could have. This was really nice of the hotel and probably the best part of the whole stay.
When my boyfriend and I came to check in a day later we had to wait about 15 – 20 minutes because there were two people ahead of us. I thought that was somewhat of a ridiculous wait time. The rooms are old out dated, but taken care of somewhat. Everything seemed clean and I had no complaints, but I have definitely experienced better!

A couple things. They gave us a key that didnt work, so had to wait around 15 minutes to get a working key. The wifi is free but really sucks. They have refrigerators, aircon. If I was forced to stay here it’d be ok.

i worked here and the customers were very pushy. I wasnt trained well, and it was a very stressful thing to have to deal with check in’s. when u only know how to check in 1 WAY!
i was left at the front desk early on, and the shift before always had a stack of reservations they failed to enter into the system waiting for me… everyday.
i admit i was rude a few times cuz u can only take the stress of pushy, rude customers wanting u to walk on ur hands, with ur eyeclosed while u carry their shit, and THEN explain why there is 1 bed in the room tht was supposed to have 2, when u werent the 1 who booked their reservation
people are always tryna get more pillows, another blanket, a fold out bed, another key card, a/​c isnt working, remote isnt working, wanna change rooms, dumb ass questions, something FREE. like come on people. this isnt the hilton.
i cant eat my lunch, cant sit in the back, cant have a break. cant leave my post cuz im the only 1 there. cant find the guy supposed to deliver the blankets, remotes, check the a/​c.
i worked 6 days a week. usually covering for someone when they needed. i trained the chick who eventually replaced me. came to fill in on my off day and got fired. lucky me
F*** YOU GUYS! Fix your crappy hotel & teach ur rude a** customers that if they want GREAT SERVICE they need to learn to speak to people. fire tht methhead f*****a, who is a lazy, late, always wants u to fill in, but never able to help u out,. biotch.
P.S since then i worked somewhere better and dealt with worse customers with a smile, i realized miserable ass ppl who go around being mean to people who are tryna help them, are just assholes who dont know anybetter. They should be punished with firehoses
but in the real world i can only laugh at them & help them faster, so they can get outta my life even faster.

On 02÷16÷08 my mother, aunt, sister, and myself checked into this hotel around 10pm after a long flight from Cleveland Ohio. As vacation time in academic medicine is very limited, I had orchestrated this trip on a budget of both time and finances, intending it to be a nice chance to relax with the people closest to me. The trip was booked months in advance through
and the hotel was selected for its relatively centralized location between Anaheim and Los Angeles, plus the good reviews on travelocity’s site. What we experienced, however, was anything but ‘good.’

Originally calling around 1:00pm Pacific time to be sure our late check-​in would be okay, I noted that the phone went unanswered for more than 12 minutes, despite multiple rounds of ringing followed
by the voice-​recording. Eventually getting through, the lady was [leasant and informed us that the time would not be a problem.

On arrival to the hotel, we were instantly struck by the relatively poor appearance of the parking lot and number of trucks located in back. Walking in the door, I was greeted by a pleasant young woman who despite being harassed by a surly (and clearly intoxicated) patron answered a few minor questions and got us checked in without event. From this point onward, however, the visit took a turn for the worst.

Walking down the hallway there was a notable number of loud rooms, beer cans piled outsided of doors, and 3 strangely dressed women hanging around the hallways. My sister joked that the ladies looked like a prostitutes… little did we know that she was likely correct in this assumption.
All was relatively quiet until around 12:45am and the four of us had little trouble falling asleep. Around 12:45, however, the noise next door picked up. In the room next door were at least 2 distinctive male voices and 2+ female voices. Over the course of the next hour my family and I were treated to extremely vulgar conversation and loud sex including the phrases «f*** me» repeated in excess of 20 times. I understand that your company cannot control this, however what happened next is not excusable.

In hopes of getting some sleep, the front desk was called… no answer for 10 minutes. At this time I utilized my cellular phone to call the desk, put on some shoes and walked down to the desk. Behind the desk was a tall African American gentleman who appeared exhausted, but awake. When asked why the phone was not being answered, he replied «it ain’t ringning» at this time he then looked
down at the flashing light on the switchbox and said ‘oh.’ Okay, I thought, perhaps he didn’t realize it was on silence or had dozed off. I next proceeded to explain to him the situation going on in the room next door and his response was «what do you want me to do about it?» I suggested perhaps he simply ask them to keep it down, to which I received a «I can’t do that bro» as an answer. I then inquired about security to which he responded «nope, they paid for the room, they can do what they want.» As the activity was disruptive and likely illegal and he appeared uninterested in any form of assistance, I asked if I should call the police: «Do what ya gotta do, bro» was his answer. I asked if I could speak to a manager…“no manager till 8:30am.”

Understandably upset I returned to my room and knocked on my neighbor’s door… no response, just continued loud swearing. At this point I did indeed call the police, which felt ridiculous considering the fact that all of this could have been handled by the staff. The police said they were busy but would send someone out as soon as available. To be honest, I do not know if this was ever done.

As I had pre-​paid for a 3 day stay at this hotel through travelocity, I next called travelocity to find out what could be done. While the individual (Identifying himself only as Roger) at travelocity was indeed extremely helpful and managed to find us a new hotel, he could not officially make the transfer until he spoke to someone at your Clarion. As was the case twice previously, no one at the front desk answered the phone when Roger called them and I was forced to walk up to the
front desk again to ask the deskman to answer the phone. During this trip, I personally watched the light on the phone flicker as the desk attendant ignored it and talked to another individual trying to check out. When I politely asked him to answer the phone, the other patron aggressively suggested I ‘wait my f***ing turn’ and ‘keep the f*** out of his way.’ Not wanting any further trouble, I returned to my room and continued to work with travelocity’s Roger until things were
ironed out for us to check out first thing in the morning and switch hotels to someplace else for the next 2 days.
