Clarion Hotel and Convention Center

"The good thing about the hotel was that the room itself was really clean and spacious. The staff was also very nice and friendly. And the Italian restaurant attached was pretty decent(don’t get the Alfredo-that was bland). The rest of the hotel was 50/50. The halls were not the cleanest and most the time smelled of marijuana, especially the entry way by door 4. The pool looked really dirty, but upon a closer look it is that the bottom of the pool liner is either tearing or the paint is scraping off in multiple places making it look like big dirt or leaf piles like found in a outside pool. The heater/air conditioning unit in the room has a fan so loud that you can’t hear the TV without turning the volume way up. We had to set ours to 45-50 volume level. The heater would be on and then turn off for maybe if we were lucky 5 mins before starting again. We tried all different modes and finally just shut it off so we could finish our movie on HBO. The television has no movie rentals or streaming available which isn’t the biggest deal if you aren’t in the room for long but Saturday night we were in after our dinner for about 4 hours before bed. Thankfully HBO had something decent to watch at one point. The closet in the room had a door broken so we didn’t really use it. The hotel is a good place to stay for someone who just needs a place to lie their heads for the night. No frills or extras. It was clean in the room and that was great. But I would not have been happy to stay there if our children had been in town with us. Just a bit shifty."

"Nice overall. Great parking, easy check in, attached restaurant, and one of the best hotel pools I’ve seen. It has a great hot tub which actually works! The room was very nice too."

"Stayed in room 201. Shower head was bad and room was aged. The room looks to be updated a bit from the past but only in the color of the room. The shower vent was pretty dusty also. The shower controls seemed goofy and seemed like it might break. Shower curtain had a weird stain on it. Staff is great seemingly. Was this a hundred dollar a night hotel. Not quite sure."

"Great hotel with friendly service at the front desk. They had a nice hot tub which was very relaxing. The bottom of the pool needs a paint job, but it wasn't concerning. Very nice assortment for breakfast also. We did have a stink bug crawling around in our room, but we just squashed it. The beds were nice, and there was a good selection of sports and other channels on the television. Affordable and nice spot! Would stay here again in Baraboo! I'd like to come again during the summer and visit the local zoo, circus museum, and the Dells nearby."

"This was the most disgusting and uninviting hotel I have ever stayed in. The carpets were dirty with visible trash and debris. The deadbolt latch on our door was loose and hardly screwed in. It looks as if the door has been kicked in before. The bathroom is tiny and our shower filled up with water very quickly. The sinks do not drain. The rooms and hallway had an odor. The pool was disgusting. The air unit filter in the room was so filthy and it smelled musty. The staff, aside from one or two people, was unpleasant and unfriendly. One of the doors from the outside was consistently left unlocked. The vending machines were also gross and dusty. I would never stay here again."
