the rooms are very clean and neat. the building seems to have a very old body but the workers here really make it up. they’re always working on maintenance and cleaning up and around the hotel. the front desk staff are very nice and understanding. the patience they had with second party booking was very outstanding and that’s why they’re getting such a great review. thanks for having us Clarion!

The most recent visit I had here was much better than the previous. Breakfast begins earlier than I expected which works great for my schedule and there's a variety of great food to choose from. The laundry room was open in working order this time and our room was perfect.

Everytime I have stayed at The Clarion in Renton I have recieved Amazing service. Vanessa the front desk manager was so kind and helpful. You can tell she cares and makes you feel welcome and at home. The rooms are clean but the outlets could use some work. Access to clean towels would be a nice touch. All in all, one of the nicest places to stay for the price. Thank you Vanessa for all your compasion and kindness.

I originally booked this room out of necessity and ended up staying for quite a while. It’s not fancy, but it’s comfortable and has a cozy feel. The staff is very attentive, and the breakfast is amazing! Definitely a solid choice for a longer stay.

The spacious accommodations, exceptional value, and complimentary hot breakfast are highly commendable. The serene environment and convenient proximity to Highway 167 are distinct advantages. Furthermore, the staff, particularly Verna, demonstrated exemplary professionalism, courtesy, and efficiency during the check-in process, contributing to a truly impressive experience. Despite initial perceptions of its location, the hotel offers convenient access to essential amenities, including grocery stores like Fred Meyer, shopping centers such as Southcenter Mall, and the city of Seattle, all within a 5-15 minute radius. We anticipate a future return.

It was pretty nice for the price (got a deal from a third party site). I liked that there were a few hot items for breakfast. Microwave and fridge are nice to have if staying a few days. I'd stay again.

I had such a wonderful experience at the Clarion Hotel thanks to Verna! From the moment I arrived, she greeted me with warmth and professionalism that immediately made me feel welcome. Verna went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable—whether it was answering questions with patience, offering helpful suggestions, or simply checking in to see if I needed anything. Her genuine kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. It’s rare to meet someone who combines efficiency with such a caring attitude, and Verna embodies both perfectly. She made my visit feel less like a hotel stay and more like being cared for by a friend. I highly recommend the Clarion Hotel, and I especially want to commend Verna for her outstanding service. She is a true asset to the team and the reason I’ll gladly return in the future and tell my other friends in alaska to come check out verna at the clarion.
