    Breakfast waffles are no bigger than a sausage link

    It was nice. Staff friendly. Room clean. Kids liked the pool. Work out facility nice. Biggest con, was the breakfast. Kids are used to the cinnamon buns and waffle maker from Holiday Inn. They now give you a credit and you place an order. If you get meals for the whole family, including drinks (coffee for adults and milk for kids), you will go over the credit. Plus like any other restaurant, you need to tip 20%. It takes longer now to get your food, lots of waiting. If all Holiday Inn are going down this road, we will find a new chain. Few minor maintenance issues. Only one the electric car chargers were working. There is not a card scanner for the gym. You need to wait in line at the front desk and then be escorted to the gym. Several of the things were damaged in the room. Toilet paper holder was not fully secure. Fridge was wobbly and you needed two hands to pop it open.

    The hallway carpet design looks like a Star Wars "Star Fighter"

    ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. FILTHY. FILTHY. FLITHY! For what you PAY the rooms should at least be clean. This…read morewas literally the WORST experience we have ever had at a hotel! HAIR, TRASH, GRIME in the room. Stuff LEAKING FROM THE WALLS. I literally wouldn't believe it if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes! The pool area was also so gross. Greasy fingerprints on all of the games. Yes they were remodeling, but non of the things we experienced were because of that! SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Also.. We never mentioned our experience to the front desk. The lady working was always on the verge of tears. Upon check-in, even before she greeted us, she told us that she didn't know what she was doing. They were transitioning to a new system and she had no proper training. Management was not supporting staff and she felt completely overwhelmed. So I guess we just didn't want to add to her stress and be the annoying people complaining to her.

    I stayed here for a wedding and would not recommend this place…read more When I initially was in the midst of booking, I had called but the deal online was cheaper than the block. I had to be insistent on the phone to not book it which was annoying. There's some lack of information they provide: pool, parking and breakfast availability so we had to do some digging and ask when we checked in. We stayed here two nights. The decor is outdated. I'd say the room was decently cleaned, but they did leave a used washcloth on the shower. The worst part about this place is the noise. We were in 2402 and the sound traveled CLEARLY. I could hear conversations next door and a bit through the hallways. The door slams from other rooms woke me up at night.

    I really like this place. I used to be a Hampton Inn girl. Decided to switch over to Country Inn…read moreand suites. It was a good decision. Refrigerator AND microwave IN the room. Country Inn has a nice breakfast area. They also have a nice hot breakfast to get you going in the morning. The room was just the right size. I chose two queen beds. I really like the shades. One you pull down and you can kind of see through it. It blocks people from seeing in. Then you have the option of pulling the other shade down. That one is a blackout shade. I have to say when you get up in the morning, you have no idea what time it is. Nothing to say about the housekeeping. I really don't like the whole new deal with housekeeping since Covid. Most hotels do not clean your room every day like they used to. Country Inn cleans it every third day unless you request otherwise. I decided to opt out of housekeeping altogether. The shining star of Country Inn is Angel at the front desk. She is kind, friendly and genuine. Any special requests I have made she has been able to meet. She is willing to help you with any problem you might have and try to resolve it. As soon as I walked in a he remembered me and called me by name throughout my stay. That made me feel valued. I'm glad I made the switch to Country Inn. I will be a returning customer.

    What a great hotel!…read more Amidst this pandemic, the staff was courteous, they managed Covid safety measures well, and maintained a high level of cleanliness to my satisfaction throughout the stay. This hotel sits right on the riverfront and that's perfect. There are new apartments next door, a coffee shop and a restaurant at the base of those apartments, a walking trail on the opposite side of the hotel, and it is close to downtown Appleton where there are lots of bars, restaurants, and cool places to visit. However, here is a bar at the hotel and I believe there is a limited menu served certain hours. My room had a fridge, contemporary design, and a SMART TV! With FREE SHOWTIME!! I'm in love. I highly recommend this hotel because of everything aforementioned, and it's the closest one to all of the action.

When I told the desk clerk- he said 25 people had just taken a shower and maybe try at a different time. I tried at all different times but the shower was lukewarm AT BEST. Not enjoyable. It was never fixed so we took cold showers for 5 days. Also the shower water backed up and I personally had to remove the grate and scrape a wad of hair and grossness with a coffee stirrer. And the soap bottle was not refilled so we ran out, and i had to go to the desk again. Lastly they short sheet the beds. Not happy.

Extra shout-out to Lisa, who provided us with amazing recommendations for food and transportation to/from the Packers game! It's a Hilton, so you might already have an expectation based on past experience. Temper this with being in Appleton and it's still living up the reputation. A few minor cons... * We were in the South tower (I think??), and they only have one elevator, which is fairly slow and small. * The escalator up to the parking garage stopped working on our checkout day, so we had to haul our luggage up the steps. (If there was an alternative/elevator nearby, there was no signage indicating this). * The parking facility is across the street from the hotel, which made things a bit confusing. (It wasn't too expensive, though, and it was pretty simple to get in and out). * One of the bars/restaurants looked to be closed the entire time we were there, but again... no signage. All that being said, though, there are huge benefits to staying here! * Super-clean rooms! * Very comfortable living space and beds! * Nice modern design without being pretentious or posh! * Amazing staff!! * A Starbucks on the lobby level near the front desk! * Peak location in downtown Appleton near several bars, restaurants, attractions, and Lawrence University! * Several options in the hotel itself for lounges/restaurants! The next time I stay in town, I will try to book here first! It's a great location with great amenities and a focus on quality and excellence!

It took me COUNTLESS searches and tireless research to finally land on the Clarion. Come reviews are not good, but thought we could give it a chance and see. I received an email about our stay, mentioning check-in and such, but no where did it mention that the bridge right off of the college Ave exit off of Hwy 41 to get here is out and you have to go all the way out of your way (4ish miles) to get around it. For a Friday night in a busy area, they should Ed had two people working the desk. The poor soul working had four of us in line and the phone ringing off the hook. He did a great job with keeping his cool and making sure we were aware of everything that came with our rooms. We booked a king bed-room, and it was great. Yes, there are odds and ends for defects and things that COULD be repaired, but everything worked, bed and pillows were comfy, we got vouchers for a yummy buffet breakfast at the restaurant next door, and the atrium area is a really nice ascetic.
