worst room ever! Period. You would think that a Clarion would be atuned to say a Holiday Inn in what you would expect from it. This was a pit. Tried out 4 different rooms, and all smelled of smoke, were worn down and out, dirty, and had bugs. The "fundome" consisted of some torn up carpet that used to be... More

The hotel is really old and needs update. The carpets had a bad smell. The fitness gym was dirty and equipment needs work. The free breakfast was not to brag about too. I stayed there because I was attending a graduation at Maryland University. I would not there again.

While traveling south, we contacted Hotwire to find a 3-4 star hotel outside of Washington, DC. They referred us to the Clarion Inn in College Park, MD. Hotel was not in the best area, to begin with. Our first impression , while walking to our room was that the hallways and stairways were in serious need of cleaning. The room... More

We stayed at this hotel during a vacation to Washington DC. The front desk staff was courteous at check-in and check-out. The hotel is definitely a throw back to the 60's and 70's with very few updates since. The bathroom in our double-bed room was unbelievably small and the shower head was mounted so that anyone over 5'6" would have... More

We checked in late at night and was greeted with a friendly smile and attitude by the front desk clerk. Room was very nice. Granite countertops and shower backsplash. Room was very clean and beds were quite comfortable. Room also was quite spacious.

For an older hotel (judging on outside appearance) my boyfriend and I were very satisfied. Room was spacious, beds were comfortable, very clean. Room had been updated with granite countertops at sink as well as shower surround. Would definitely reccommend and stay there again. Staff was extremely friendly even at the late night check in.

We stayed here as part of a cheer-leading competition with my daughter. We had a great time with my daughter and her group. Staff was nice. Our room was clean and so was the property in general. The indoor pool and the "fundome" was a nice getaway when we were not away at the competition. All the families gathered around... More

We Went here based on a decent rate for two nights in a jacuzzi room. The package included chocolates and champagne. The "fundome" was just the inside of the hotel with a blue sky painted ceiling covering a three hole putting green, an indoor pool, and two very old video arcade games. Oh i can't forget the shuffleboard court... The... More

I have been a Choice member since the beginning of time and I am shocked that this hotel is a participant in that program or is allowed to be. There are no shortage of ugly descriptions that are appropriate and factual that.belong to this dump. Filthy bug infested rooms - sleezy, scary characters hanging around the property. A staff and...
