I was a little apprehensive at first but was pleasantly surprised. Room wa exceptionally clean although a little dated. Staff were excellent. Very reasonably priced restaurant and much better food than most hotel restaurants. My complaints to the chef.
Fantastic stay

We are pilot cars in the wind energy field. We arrived last Sunday thinking we were going to load Monday and leave. Well, due to usual "blade" issues, we left this morning. The whole staff was awsome. We didn't know from day to day if we were leaving. They worked with us and understood. Rooms were clean and beds comfy. I am in motel about 300 nights a year and can honestly say I have not seen such a awsome housekeeping staff. Thank you all. We'll be back.
Commendable low-priced motel.

This is a budget hotel that, from a distance, comes with all the typical warning signs. First of all, it’s a Clarion Inn. It’s right by the interstate. There’s not much else in the area besides liquor stores, gas stations and energy terminals.
But that said, this is not some flea-bag motel. Quite the opposite. The rooms are dated but clean. The staff is professional. The internet works well enough. There’s even a bar, Brewsky’s, which smells like 20-year-old ash, but still has a certain charm — especially when Shiners are being cracked open and Alan Jackson is on the jukebox.
I stayed at the Clarion right after Hurricane Harvey, and I must say, I was downright touched by how the motel worked to remain functional. Even though many streets were cut off — including part of an access road leading to the hotel — staff showed up for work, sometimes sleeping at the property. There was little fresh food coming in and out of Houston, and yet still the Clarion managed to put out some kind of continental breakfast. (Biscuits, etc.) The hotel was filled with emergency workers tracking grime all across the property, yet the motel remained clean. Even Brewskys was open. I was very impressed.
I'd only ended up here because hotel rooms in post-Harvey Houston were extraordinarily hard to come by. This was one of the only places in the city with a vacancy. I Paid $75 per night.
But if the folks at this Clarion Inn can perform as they did under such duress, I have confidence that this motel is worth staying at in better times as well.
Clarion Inn- try to avoid

dated and unappealing motel with poor amenities. strategically positioned in the middle of nowhere, walking around may result in stepping down the earth or getting robbed. on positive end, staff is friendly and rooms are clean.
Better than I expected

I'm not sure what some people on here are complaining about, but there is nothing wrong with this hotel. I stayed there last night (10- 20- 16), and wasn't quite sure what to expect after reading a few negative reviews on another site. I wasn't disappointed at all. The rooms seem to have been updated recently, and they are kept clean. The bed was comfortable, the Wi-Fi had issues at times, but other than that it was okay. The fact there is a lounge inside the hotel is a big bonus... and considering the drinks aren't expensive, that was even better. This place is actually pretty decent compared to some of the dumps that are in the area, so I'll definitely be back.
