The Clarion Hotel and Conference Center is a pet-friendly hotel with a great location, close to many areas of Lansing, restaurants, stores, and a farmers market. It features a big indoor pool with a play area. Some rooms are big, renovated, and decent with comfortable beds, great water pressure, and working heat and air. The attached Tangy Crab restaurant is a highlight. However, the hotel needs work. Experiences with staff vary, with some guests finding them very friendly and helpful, while others found them rude and unprofessional. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with reports of rooms not being clean. Safety is a concern due to unlocked exterior doors. The wifi can be horrible, but a nearby Starbucks offers an alternative. It is an okay place to stay if you just need a place to sleep, and check-in is easy.
I really like the location. It's seen better days, as it's setup projects executive vibes....about 20 years ago. The rating is low because the air conditioner unit in disrepair....it was cooler outside. Breakfast not bad.
