Clarion Hotel and Conference Center

Don’t book a room at this hotel. If you do keep an eye on your credit card statements. The guy at the front desk took my card supposedly for any incidentals he called it and they charged over $ 108 to my card. When I spoke to the manager he said they did not have my card on file. I did get the charges reversed but I think the lot of them are all crooks. Travelers beware…

This hotel could certainly use a bit of a face lift, but the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean, the breakfast was better than average, and the coffee was good! The location felt a little iffy, but we didn’t have any problems. I’ll probably stay there again.

Someone needs to buy this place and renovate it from the ground up. Awful!
First, there’s Greeley itself. A lovely small university town with oodles of potential, but the locals who work in the restaurants and hotels generally just don’t have a service ethic. The number of times I sighed as a detail was overlooked (salt and pepper with your $ 30 steak?) just added up and added up until I realized: it’s everywhere you look in Greeley. Crap service from people who can’t or won’t care enough to take care of the details.
When I walked into this hotel to check in, the two ladies at the front desk were behind a wall, talking to each other. When I stepped up to the desk, one of them came out to greet me, but they continued the conversation: Out Front — «What did she say?» in back — :She just called me a BITCH!” etc. I said loudly: «We are not doing this now, with a customer standing right here.» And they stopped, and apologized. But this is more of that Greeley charm I mentioned above.
The hotel restaurant was out of everything, having been visited by a health inspector who discovered the temperature in the freezer was too high, necessitating that thousands of dollars of food inventory be simply thrown out.
They let a child sit at the bar.
The room was OK but badly in need of redecorating, as is about everything in this hotel. The hallway carpeting should go immediately to the «Shitty Hotel Carpet Hall of Fame.»
All in all: unprofessional, dingy, old, outdated, and in need of everything that a good hotel manager knows how to do.
I am headed off to Fort Collins.

It was ok. Specifically stopped here because they allowed pets and had a pool. However the pool is absolutely freezing. I feel the price is a bit steep for what you get.

I am staying here during the National Golden Retriever Specialty dog show. It is (obviously) pet-​friendly, but also a very nice, clean, and well-​run hotel. The room is very nicely appointed, bed is very comfortable (i.e. firm with quality bed linens) and so forth. Nice TV, mini-​fridge, wireless (free), and window AC. Room service had a great steak dinner for a moderate price. This place compares very favorable in any category, and when it comes to dog-​friendly, it is definitely top-​notch!

I ate at the restaurant inside the hotel and it was excellent. Kelsey was my bartender and she was so much fun to talk to and very attentive. Ide come here again if I lived here. I had a burger which was delicious as well as the fries which were cooked to perfection. The hotel staff was so pleasant and nice. Anna was our front desk host. She was so welcoming and also very fun to talk to. She really kicked off my stay here on a positive note. Hotel price was pretty good considering the options and I can’t wait to have their breakfast in the morning which is supposed to be top notch.

Terrible! There were stains on the master bedroom bed, aged furniture, debris behind a chair. Front desk staff (nights) terribly rude. As a frequent traveler, I would highly recommend this hotel be avoided.

Pretty dumpy. Found someone’s fleece shirt wrapped around the legs of the desk chair when I checked in. The room of the other party I was with smelled like insecticide. My room was near the railroad tracks. First train that went by I checked the window because I thought it was open. My car window keeps out more noise.

Well I used to live here in Greeley and was having a weekend with our best friends and kids at the clarion… It all started when we arrived and the rooms we asked for were not saved for us. We wanted adjoining suites so we could use the pool and they didn’t accommodate us and then gave us rooms scattered around the third floor. So as I go into our room, I check our bed hoping not to see any bed bugs since this is what I had read. Well no bed bugs thank god but our sheets were dirty. Nasty dirty mud. Another thing that is ridiculous. Is our room is pool side and we r on the third floor and the window opens without a lock and we had a three year old in our party… And we were petrified that he would fall out of the window just because he is a three yr old boy. So we move on we put a stick in the window and then go out to get our bags in a completely dark walkway with ice. One of our party members fell and then I saw three others fall. At this point I went and told the front desk girl and she said «oh sorry we will get on it currently». I will say that the girl at the front did try to accommodate everything that we had issues with. HOWVER then my daughter got into the pool. Ummm the pool light was literally floating in the water and she didn’t see it at all. She cracked her head open and gashed it so it bled. I looked at the light and thankfully they weren’t on because the wire was connected letting the light hang floating in the pool. Suspended so a little 9 yr old obtained massive bump and cut. Once again went to the front desk… Now I will be waiting on the manager tomorrow because this is absolutely ridiculous… This place is DANGEROUS for children. It sincerely is… Please proceed carefully.

Not somewhere I’d stay at again. This hotel hosts a lot of construction and oil and gas workers. The smell of cigarette smoke when I stepped out of the elevator and into the third floor hallway was enough to knock me over. My room, which had a «no smoking» sign on it, was nauseating with the smell. Although it looks like they tried to update the room with new wallpaper and paint in the bathroom, the room looked old and tired. The furniture was mismatched, the headboards were king size, with queen size beds. The light fixture over the sink was new, but the gaping hole was left where the old fixture was taken out. The fluctuation of water temperature in the shower was especially annoying — first tepid, then scalding, then hot. The fan in the bathroom was about as loud as the train nearby. Beds were marginal.
Food in the restaurant was adequate, and the breakfast bar had the usual selection. Coffee was warm, not hot, in a large urn, eggs were okay, I passed on the sausage.
The lobby and other public meeting places were a little perkier than my room, and it looks like Clarion has tried to upgrade, but this is clearly a takeover that hasn’t been fully remodeled yet.

The CLARION GREELEY DOWNTOWN is a smart hotel for short stays and extended stays. Colleen is the best Hotel Manager on the planet — she truly cares about me and other customers. Colleen is brilliant, caring and offers top shelf customer service. Courtney, who works at this hotel, usually makes my reservations (by phone), and she is mannerly, sweet, professional, organized and well spoken. The ENTIRE FRONT DESK STAFF are awesome — they always go the extra mile to make ME the customer feel special. The beds are very comfortable and the housekeepers really care about each guest. The Pool Man/​Maintenance Man keeps the pool so clean it’s like an aquarium — he also keeps the grounds in tip-​top shape — he is a hard worker and a very nice gentleman. The TV screens in each room are large and spectacular — theater quality TVs. You can politely ask for a quieter room if the trains bother you. You can enjoy a delicious, hot, homemade breakfast every morning and both loving women who work the breakfast area, will treat you like THE KING OF GREELEY. The Food Service Manager Stephen is phenomenal — he cares about all guests — and Stephen makes it a point to change his breakfast buffet offerings so that long term guests or repeat customers are always surprised with his creative, gorgeous buffet — in fact all the meals at this hotel are like homemade meals. I work out of Greeley and commute back and forth to Florida — and I will stay at the CLARION GREELEY DOWNTOWN every chance I get. I love this hotel, I love the employees and I love property managers.

Not a great hotel. At first I was upset that I had to stay here (pre-​paid on hotwire for a «mystery» hotel at ½ the normal rate so it was non refundable). The hotel is falling apart. However, it’s not the worst place. I was surprised that my room was pretty clean.
One thing that sucks is that the hotel is next to a train route, so be prepared to hear a SUPER LOUD train a few times a day. I’m from NYC so kinda used to noise but it can be distracting.
A positive — free internet and they have a lot of cable channels — including HBO.

I wish I could give this place ½ of a star. This place is a dive, sad because I used to work here. The staff leaves a lot to be desired; rude, rude, rude would describe them best! The bed and linens were decent but we were so worried about bed bugs we had a hard time settling in. We were on the south side of the hotel and practically sat on the train tracks, three trains came through in the middle of the night blowing their whistles for a good length of time. They have removed all of the lights from the canopy on the east side of the building do it is extremely dark here, felt like their guest’s safety was not important. This hotel ran $ 109, NOT worth even half of that!

This place deserves every bad review it got! I am only staying here because of business travel and my company is paying for it. After a long flight and drive into Greeley I check in and the even though my reservation was confirmed I am now being told upon check in that they cannot guarantee me a room past ⁶⁄₂₂. They allowed themselves to be overbooked and I am over the overbooked party. I am supposed to be here for 10 nights. GREAT and apparently the «Greeley Stampede» is this upcoming weekend.
The horror doesn’t stop there, the hotel has no hot water, assuring me on check in someone is coming well now, no one is coming until tomorrow. The lamp on my desk doesn’t work and come to find out it’s the entire outlet, they attempted to move me, but that room looked like it was still under construction and had no microwave. Now I realized I can’t use the one in my room either.
I realize this isn’t the W, but I have stayed at Clarion’s before and this is unbelievably bad. At this point I would rather stay at the airport and take the commute to and from Greeley. This place deserves no stars! I have stayed at family owned B&B’s in Europe that were better maintained than this. Horrible and it’s only day one!

We are part of a very large group and during check-​in, they had many problems and some had to stay in another hotel because they over booked.
My personal experience:
In our 3^rd hotel room in less then 24hrs.
First room had people already in it doing their Business. I wasn’t the only one to have this happen apparently. They mixed up about 3 – 4 rooms.
Second room had bed bugs! Computers have been ‘down’ but at least the staff are not being moody and some what helpful.
Tore apart the 3^rd room. Seems okay so far for night number 2.
This hotel needs to improve their game!

This is close to downtown, the airport, and to all of the many city/​county offices as well as the courts. The conference area on a Monday could have used a vacuum, but my room was clean and overlooked the nice indoor pool atrium without having that chlorinated aroma. Adequate, adequate adequate is how I’d describe this place, and the price was inexpensive (government rate $ 69). The room at first seemed dingy due to dim lighting but was not dingy – I inspect. The towels were luxurous and they had the requisites.
The room was quiet and this morning I saw that the pool atrium had a view of a lovely outdoor greenspace and blue sky, which was a big plus.
There is a steakhouse in the building and it’s within walking distance of a park. This is place could hold a small or medium conference at undoubtedly good rates. It is not in a «scary» neighborhood and there is on street parking, no meters and no tickets, right on the street. Where else but Greeley?
