Clarion Hotel Blasdell

It's convenient to the NY Thruway, but away from highway noise and truck-stop atmosphere, and yet close to a large selection of restaurants and shops.

It's a somewhat older motel, but it's comfortable and clean.

I think that because it's one (short) Thruway stop from the conglomerate of chain motels, it's more off the beaten track. So it seems not to get the noisy check-ins at odd hours. It's just right for an old geezer like me who values quiet after a long drive.

It was very clean and all workers there very nice. The price was a fair price.

This hotel made me feel secure: The doors locked at night so you can only get in the front desk area.

I stayed in this hotel over Thanksgiving 2006. I reserved the room over the internet and got a great rate ($71/night). I got a non smoking, two queen bedroom. I was nervous about what I would find, since the internet had only one review, and it was not favorable, but I was very nicely surprised. The room was gigantic, sparsely but nicely furnished, and clean. The bathtub showed obvious signs of wear/tear and age, but it was more than adequate. For $71/night it was a fantastic value and if my budget remains the same I would stay there again for sure!

This hotel needs some work. It had a terrible musty smell in the room and in the lobby. It was expensive for what you get.
