As a Choice Club member, I have stayed at many hotels and motels in my travels, and this place is the worst place I have stayed in.
Friday night I arrived at the Clarion Inn in Belle Vermon, Pennsylvania as I was attending Saturday's Pittsburgh Cigar Box Guitar Festival. I was told by the nice lady at the counter that they were putting me in a non smoking room on the second floor, getting a continental breakfast, and warned me they were working on redoing the second floor. Not that big of a deal. Until I got up there.
As I exited the elevator, the overpowering smell of dead skunk mixed with Back River Treatment Plant Eau De Parfum was overpowering. Then entering my "non smoking room", the stench of cheap cigarettes mixed with body funk and desperation literally knocked me down. Between the falling plaster from the ceiling and a foul smelling room, I turned the air conditioner on, which helped. Being too tired from a long drive, I settled in for the night.
At 7 a.n. in the morning, I got into the shower. The water started to back up, so I quickly got my shower and after dressing, notified the desk. The "continental breakfast" had a locked small refrigerator of juIces and milk. No eggs or side dishes (including coffee for the breakfast), and stale cereal. Not wasting time, I left for a diner for breakfast before the Festival.
When I returned, I almost kicked over a five gallon bucket with liquid that resembled urine by the elevator. I made my way to the room to find they did not clean my room, nor did they even replace the dirty linen, nor remove the trash.
I have documented in the following photos, the filthy and cluttered hallway, and how nothing was done.
If you need a hotel room in this part of the country, avoid at all costs the Clarion Hotel in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania. $121 a night won't even get you a breakfast you deserve.
I would give a zero rating if I could. read more
