I thought about giving Clanree one star but that would've been too harsh and not entirely representative of my experience there. This hotel is located on a semi busy road - there's not much nearby in terms of tourist walking/exploring. Gas stations are across the street and next door but it's not walking friendly. I get the sense this is a stop, rest, and leave the next morning kind of area. So in that sense, it was disappointing that there wasn't much to do nearby.
Clanree bills itself as an entertainment center and that is shown by the numerous performance posters that are displayed in the main lobby. They evidently host many, many different acts so the Clanree clearly knows how to host large groups and festivities.
What really frustrated me about this stay is the unfortunate location of my room and the complete lack of sound insulation. I had someone in the room above me and next to me on both sides. I could hear EVERYTHING. Crying baby, snoring, people talking in the middle of the night. Once I woke up to all the sounds, it was impossible for me to sleep. I know not all the rooms were like that because I asked my travel mates the next morning about their sleep experience. I was just extremely unlucky to have been placed in some sort of echo chamber where all the noises were amplified. The only reason I didn't complain is because I was leaving the next morning. Had it been a multi-night stay, no way would I have tolerated the room.
The Clanree may be a decent hotel for others, I'll never know and I'll never stay again. It was a miserable and restless overnight for me. read more
