Clarion Hotel at La Guardia Airport

I am ashamed to say I spent the night here on June 11, 2007.

I am a qualified Road Warrior. I stay in hotels almost weekly!

This was absolutely the worst hotel/motel I have ever been in and it cost $200 + per night. In other cities, it would be condemned! Never let your wife or love ones stay here! The place is seriously run down.

"Negatives"

. Elevator did not work.

. No pillow cases were available for an extra pillow

. My room was the size of a walk in closet. Full size beds only.

. Room décor was dark & dingy

. The Restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday

(if you could call it a restaurant).

. You could see right thru the sheets

. Furniture was old and worn-out

. Hallways were dingy, dirty, and scary with little or poor lighting

. Vending machines were next to empty, TV was constantly being interfered with by what appeared to be the electronics within the hotel, perhaps the A/C or something- it flipped & fluttered constantly.

. You know the little signs that say, "If you forgot something, tooth paste etc. - well just don't even ask!

"Positives"

. Hotel shuttle to & from Airport

. Close to LaGuardia Airport

. Dollar Rent-a-car next door

. Airport parking for your car

. Plenty of Hot water

. Remodeled bathroom

. Fairly new A/C in Room

. Iron & board

1st time to New York, loved the hotel.

The hotel had a nice location near the airport. There was a bus station that could take us to the subway right in front of the hotel. They offered friendly service and ok comfort.

This hotel made me feel comfortable: The beds were comfortable. The friendly staff was willing to help with any questions.

This hotel used to be a parking deck! Really, I didn't believe it myself, until I turned the corner on the third floor and had to walk downhill to my room. The room was sub-par, and noisy, though the tiny bathroom was clean. The staff was friendly. My advice is to park elsewhere for the night.

The breakfast was not good. The hotel was way overpriced.
