CLARION HOTEL
We provide Clarion-branded hotels that offer guests quality service, useful amenities, and an inviting stay at an affordable price. Our hotels are designed for travelers who want a comfortable, full-service or select-service experience, with free high-speed internet and, at many locations, restaurants, room service, swimming pools, and fitness centers. Clarion Inn properties are typically smaller hotels with more limited services in smaller markets, while Clarion Hotel properties are larger hotels that may include meeting rooms and other added services in bigger markets. We also offer Clarion Resort and Clarion Suites hotels for destination travel and all-suites stays. Clarion Pointe hotels provide a modern, streamlined stay with upgraded rooms, free premium coffee and tea, breakfast, beer and wine for purchase, a fitness room, free internet, and 49-inch TVs with casting technology.
