Room was clean but ice bucket was not emptied. Property was dated, hallways loud. Staff was excellent at the front desk, very kind and friendly at check in and check out. Breakfast at attached cafe was excellent as well, the $16 voucher for each guest covered almost all of the meal.

The restaurant in the hotel had a good breakfast (the hotel gives you $16 vouchers). The hotel itself has seen better days. The hallways need a good cleaning. Our room was basic and had a renovated bathroom. Like most older hotels the AC units are very loud.

Breakfast is great. There are lots of tasty options. Building canopy needs replacing so not much curb appeal. Some painting needs to be done in restsurant. Room was comfortable and quiet. Building close to ammenities.

All comments apply to the following day when I showed up at the Claymore. An error was made on my part or Experia's about the day of arrival, and I did not catch it in the email from the Claymore. The actual review has been given for the following day when I did stay there. Clean room, more than helpful staff, and a good breakfast.
