My other half and I have been driving for like 9 hours and definitely ready to get some rest. Originally we were using Google maps to find a best western (the last one we stayed in the day before was great) and we ended up here instead. Which turned out just fine. There were no signs, it was dark and I had to ask the girl where I was lol She was super nice and funny. I loved the Halloween decorations, her costume and they had hocus pocus playing on the TV in the lobby. Got my keys and she gave me a room on the bottom floor. I definitely appreciated it. She said something about one inside door and one outside. I didn't understand til I got to the room. Never seen a set up like that but it's neat. The key card had a few issues to get the door to open but it just took a few tries. Not bad. The room itself is nice. The bed is soft, good TV, a microwave and a fridge! Where I came from (bullhead city az) you would have to pay extra at a hotel for a mini fridge and having a microwave is unheard of! We were tired and hungry and found out the bar serves food. Went to the bar and it was filled with fun and friendly employees and customers. We got two burgers to go and headed back to the room. Found out what the smell was in the inside corridor. It looked like something flooded and was never fixed or cleaned... which is gross but couldn't smell it in the rooms. Over all, I'm not a picky person and to me this place was just what we needed for a good night's sleep. read more

We were soooo disappointed! Indoor pool was ICE COLD - hot tub was "closed for service" - the sauna/spa was out of service - foosball table was broken - and the room had a very musty smell (we had to go to the local dollar general for air fresheners before we could stay) I booked a special overnight trip with my boys with intentions of hanging around the hotel the entire time. We ended up leaving for dinner just for something to do. We did enjoy the run-down putt putt for many many rounds as it was the only amenity available. We overhead at breakfast that they opened the hot tub back up! So we double checked the binder in our room for pool hours (8am-10pm), but when we got to the pool the sign there states (10am-8pm). With check out at 11, we never had the chance to try it out. It will be our last trip there. read more

This motel room was well equipped with fridge, microwave & stocked with coffee, tea. This could have easily been a good review of the place. Unfortunately it didn't turn out that way. I noticed that the parking lot was almost empty when I checked in and thought it was strange. The room was very dark by the desk. The desk lamp didn't even have light bulbs in it. The wifi login page was broken. It gave a 404 error which indicates it is directing to a file that either didn't exist or no internet connection. Numerous calls were made to try to correct these problems but after two days nothing had changed. It's one thing to have technical problems but how difficult would it have been for them to bring a lightbulb? I understand now why the parking lot was empty. read more

No to Happy with this place. I like the facility layout with the miniature golf arcade area and pool room is really nice and the check-in area is really nice and the coffee is good. Yeah my room is not as clean the bathtub didn't look like it was clean from the previous visitor and I'm finding dry boogers on the bedspread. Unfortunately I have to stay the remaining amount of time cause I booked through a website and not able to get my refund trying to make the best of my situation. Went to Walmart to get cleaning supplies to clean the tub myself. read more

This place is a dump!! There is NO elevator so, have fun carrying things up and down the stairs and through doors that you have to open and close. The carpet smells like dirty feet and is disgusting. The refrigerator had mold growing in it. The bathroom is dated and the toilet literally screams when you flush it. The linens are gross. The internet is slow as hell and doesn't work half the time. The whole place smells. I would never stay here! read more

The hotel needs a major upgrade and it is not the cleanest. They do have a bar but we were told it cost $40 a person for all you can drink and one cocktail would have been $40???? read more

The hotel had good amenities and the room was clean. I'm giving it 1 star because when my 4 year old son was getting into his bed he started screaming. He pointed at his arm and then the floor. A mouse trap had went off on his arm! I took it to the front desk and was told they don't normally leave them in the rooms. read more

I agree with Mike's review. The room I stayed in had carpet that showed its age. The room was clean, and we DID NOT have any signs of bedbugs. I arrived in town really late at night and they still had availability and different rooms to choose from (Wednesday night, July 15, 2015). I had a room on the outside, so one door faced the parking lot and the other door connected to a hall that lead to the inner courtyard. Other rooms had one door that faced the courtyard and one that connected to the hall. The courtyard has mini golf, pool, a fountain with walkway bridges and some other amenities. Unfortunately I did not have time to spend. I would suggest looking into what is available if you are visiting town with kids, or if you have time to spare. Breakfast is buffet-style in the dining area. The food was decent but I remember thinking the eggs didn't taste that great. In the parking lot, don't park under the trees. The birds really used my car as a toilet. Bottom line: I would stay at Clarion in Elk City again. read more

Love, love, Love! This place is beautiful! The front desk staff are so sweet and efficient. There is an atrium in the middle of the hotel with games, putt putt and a pool! There is a door on one side of the room that leads right out onto the atrium. The California king bed is so comfy. If we come through Elk City we will be staying here again for sure. The only things I would complain about is the bathroom is a bit outdated and the Wi-Fi is kinda slow. Other than that this place is really nice. read more

I really wish I could give this dump a NEGATIVE Score...but alas and alack...poor YELP is too kind!! Because of the Absolutely HORRIFYING Experience I endured at this property my CHOICE is to NEVER, EVER, Stay in a "Choice Hotel" property again!!!  Staying here was like a combination of a TWILIGHT ZONE episode and the movie "The SHINING"!!!!!  DISGUSTING Excuse for a "Hotel"...more like a "Flop House."   Oh my...Where should I begin???  First of all, I arrived very early in the morning, much later than my planned arrival, due to complications in traveling from AZ; however I did call ahead and explained I would arrive much later than planned.   I was greeted by a Front Desk Agent that was apparently totally befuddled and confused about where he even was at!  I don't think he was aware that he was even at his "job."      He gave me two keys and some very poor directions to the room.  I dragged two bags and a backpack and my small dog through what looked like an abandoned Airplane Hangar leftover from World War II...it was dark and creepy and had an unusual odor, actually a stench.   When I got to the room the Keys didn't work!!  I had to maneuver myself all the way back to the reception area [about a mile away] walking up and down stairwells where the carpet was literally BLACK from FILTH and years of guests and employees walking up and down them...again, there was that STENCH!!!  I am sure the carpets had not been cleaned in over 20 years!! DISGUSTING!!!      Back at the front desk, I had to ring the bell a couple of times and wait for the "Agent" to appear from the back room.  He seemed so totally disoriented, almost stunned that a "human" was there in front of him.  I actually felt sorry for him and his state of mind.  He re-keyed me and gave me two new keys and I was off on another trip up and down stairs back to the room!!! Well, guess what???  The keys didn't work the second time either!!  I was exhausted and becoming irritated at this time after driving all the way from Williams, AZ [where I stayed in a lovely La Quinta property]...I told him I would like another room so he gave me keys to a room on the first floor but on the same side of the "property."  He said that there were two entrances to the room and I should try both to see which one worked....SERIOUSLY?????  Go all the way there to see which door worked??? Mind Blowing!!!  I asked him about WiFi and if I needed a password and he just gave me a blank stare.  He said..."Oh no...you just connect to your own WiFi...no password necessary."  Oh really...well how would I do that since the modem to my "own WiFi" was in the trunk of my car as I was relocating from CA to Rhode Island??...mind boggling!!    I went to the room and tried the outside door first...NOTHING but a red light again...for the THIRD time!! I walked all the way around the building [with three bags and a 12lb dog] and went to try the interior door.  Oh, GUESS WHAT...It didn't work either, a red light again...so this is the fourth time I tried to get into a room at this DUMP!!!  I went back to the reception AGAIN for the Third Time and he got a device to open the lock as he said they had been having "problems" with the key cards.  We went to the room together where he used the device to try and open the door....and guess what...it didn't work either, but there was a different scenario when the GUEST who was staying in the room started SHOUTING...."HEY...What the Hell is going ON...what are you guys doing out there"???  It was 4:00 AM at that time.  I should have just left then, escaped to anywhere...even sleeping in my car at a rest stop would have been better.      Sooooo....back to the desk to get another room...did they not have a Property Management System at this hotel??  I mean, the agent actually did NOT KNOW which rooms were vacant and which were occupied??  There were only a small amount of autos in the lot so the occupancy must have been quite low.  I was just flabbergasted at this time, it was like I was in a Horror Film!!!      He finally took me to a room with a King Bed where he was able to open the door and I finally went into my room.  It was almost 5:00AM at this time.  The lighting in the room was so poor I could barely see the condition of the room.  All I could see was that the bed was made up, but more fun was to COME!!!  The room had a foul, musty, disgusting odor and seemed unclean, I turned on the HVAC to try and get some different air into the space. space.  I couldn't even find an electrical outlet near the bed to charge my phone.  I tried to connect to the "WiFi"...but NO LUCK...that wasn't going to happen.  The bathroom was not properly stocked, two towels and one washcloth...are you kidding me????  The tub was disgustingly filthy as a non-skid surface that had once been there had been ripped off and left big black vile looking marks which had trapped the filth left by previous guests.  I wouldn't step into that tub if my life had depended on it. read more

I have to say I made the reservation before I looked at Yelp. Looked at Choice Hotel reviews, they lie. The absolute reason it is even getting 2 stars is that it has a bar! The lobby is deceiving, looks nice when you pull in. I can tell they are trying to remodel. Went to check in and my company card was declined, I just used it not 15 min before and know there wasn't anything wrong with it but none the less she said it was declined. I put it on my personal card and went to my room. Walking through the doors it was obvious they hadn't remodeled the hallways or doors, I thought that's ok, I'll give them an E for effort, but It looked like a dump. I get to my room and it hadn't been cleaned from the guest before, so back to the front desk I go. I will say the young lady at the front desk was a sweet girl and really wanted to help. Got my new key and room and headed back. The room was decent but it's just an old hotel. I turned on the AC (it was 81 degrees in there) gave it some time and it never cooled down. Really thought about canceling my stay and getting a new hotel but decided I would hope the bar made up for the hassle. Got a third room and she offers a discount for my troubles. As sweet as she was and as nice as the maintenance guy was I can really not recommend this hotel, believe the reviews! read more

This is the best ever hotel in all of Elk City! I stay here on a regular basis for work (Oilfield) and my crew always stays here. Once we went to another hotel (sleep inn) and it totally sucked! We only go to Clarion Inn now. The staff is extremely friendly and polite! Front desk team is super helpful and nice. Managers are always there to help if you need anything. The sales manager ( Ray I think) even helped me when I was trying to find out what the local attractions were and even offered to print out directions if I wanted them! Front Desk manager was also very helpful when I needed to extend my stay! Don't remember her name but she was awesome! You should def stay here! Room was clean and looked really nice! A/C worked great and breakfast was good as always! See y'all again soon! read more

This place don't have any bugs, the rooms are clean but well worn down in a desperate need of a remodel. They have a full bar ( the guy that works there is a asshole too) the girls are alright. And they have a pretty decent restaurant. Damn good steak. Ohh by the way, the internet service actually WORKS unlike Holiday Inn Express (DONT EVER GO THERE read my other review on them) read more

Great little place, awesome AC, very relaxed and even has an indoor putt-putt golf course. Very very very good jalapeño burgers!

I was disappointed in the bed. Wasn't comfortable. Pillows were to soft. Room definitely could use an update. Paint peeling around windows and around base boards in bathroom. The water didn't get very hot as well. The scrabbled eggs were cold. We won't be staying here again. read more

Stayed one night, $75/night. Room appeared decent, but the bathroom shower was gross. Because of the unsanitary conditions of the bathroom, it leads me to believe the whole room was filthy. The attention to detail in cleaning the rooms needs to be addressed. But it was pretty quiet. The little mini golf game room thing looked like fun, but we didn't utilize it. They also put on a decent breakfast. read more

Hotel smells like cigarettes... bathtub was disgusting and they don't knock check out isn't till 11 and at 9:30 housecleaning just bust in? It's ridiculous read more

Extremely disappointed in this place. The whole point of staying in a motel after a 10 hrs drive- and 10 the following day- is to have a good night sleep. I checked in at around 11pm with Ray at the front desk. He was nice and accommodating. The only issue was that the back door key wasn't working. I asked to please fix it ASAP since I needed to have access to my car. Anyhow, after a two hours + sleep, I heard neighboring rooms people going in and out. Extremely loud. Talking, screaming, dogs barking. Someone even tried to get in my room at around 4 am. This was the noisiest motel parking lot I ever experienced. The noises went on from 3am until 7am. I literally had 2.5 hrs of sleep that night. Since I was up and unable to fall asleep due to the noise, I decided to go have breakfast. None of the things they advertise were offered. Once again, very disappointed After talking to Ray regarding the whole experience, he offered to send someone to my room at 7 am to fix the back door. More noise!!! Finally, I asked to speak to the manager on duty. I waited for a while and she seemed tied up with something else. I left at around 9.30am with a promise that their manager, Melissa will call me later on that day with an apology and perhaps a discounted rate for the room since it did not fulfill its purpose. Anyhow, I waited an entire day, then two .. I called at least 5 times asking for Melissa. She was always busy or unable to come to the phone. I called twice again the following week and she was nowhere to be found. I did work in hospitality for 15 years. I do get that things don't go according to plan sometimes. But having the manager ditching a huge customer complaint like she did is utterly disrespectful and very rude. No words to express how upset I am at the way these people handle business!! read more

This place is horrible, it's by far the nastiest hotel I've ever stayed at, dirty, unsanitary, smelly just to name a few things, on top of that no elevator, I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place at all read more

We stayed here the other night. We were looking for a place to totally relax in the middle of a very emotional trip. The staff was very friendly and professional. The bar was a good place to relax even though we are not heavy drinkers. The food we got was very good. The room was big and had lots of counter space in the bathroom. The breakfast the next morning was very good and again the staff was friendly and helpful. Some of the rooms are under renovation and probably more need to be but our stay was not disturbed by this at all. read more
