My wife and I were in Gainesville much later than expected. Around midnight we started looking for a place to stay as we wouldn't make it back to Jacksonville that night. When I saw the Clarion I thought they must be okay. WRONG! We checked in and went to our room. I noticed the carpet was stained but figured that's... more

The adventure....or rather misadventure began with a trip to Gainesville for a Gators game. Florida verses Miami! My traveling companion, i.e. personal assistant who I will refer to as John for confidentiality sake, and I arrived in Gainesville around 3:00 we believed we had reservations at the Newberry Inn, but they could not find our name, then we were told... more

This hotel is advertised as having QUEEN size beds. All beds that I saw are FULLSIZE beds. This is false advertising. I have to assume that this has been done with full knowledge by the company. In addition the room I had had no chair, no pillows, no coffee pot, no microwave, no refrigerator, no power to the TV, no... more

I stayed with Clarion Inn and also shot a scene for a movie there, and they were extremely friendly and helpful. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience there, everyone was nice and the setup was perfect for my budget. I would definitely recommend this hotel for either staying or even film production, it couldn't have gone better. more

I went to Gainesville to attend my daughters wedding, she had made arrangements for the out of town guest to stay at this facility.I made my reservation about a month before my arrival,when I arrived they could find no record of my reservation. After serveral calls from my daughter and finally a visit, they found that I had been booked... more

The hotel has a lot of promise. Our room was very clean and in good working order. Our only 2 complaints are that they forgot to tell us the pool was being refurbished and the laundry service was at their sister hotel next door. Once the pool reopens this hotel will be a great find. It is very close to... more

We recently stayed at this hotel as participants in the Girls Fastpitch Softball State Tournament. Our group was very disappointed with just about everything during our stay. When we booked our rooms, the staff failed to let us know that the pool would be closed for refurbishing...in July, in Florida!!!!!!!! They say that they have two pools but the other... more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! We booked my daughters wedding reception here. What a nightmare! Dirty laundry in room when we arrived, no extra pillows or towels provided when asked for...charged for an additional night stay when we already checked out, served wrong food at reception, table cloths stained and with ink spots and tears, dance floor broken creating... more

This hotel is so run down. I cant believe it is a Clarion, what a insult to the other Clarions. The people are very nice, but the rooms are very old, the furniture must be 25 years old, scarred, damaged. Poor TV reception, Very cluttered parking lot, lots of Trash. The room needed to be painted after the walls are... more
