What guests think

Across recent stays at The Clocktower Hotel, an Ascend Collection Hotel, guests consistently highlight clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a free breakfast with lots of choices, while noting ongoing renovations that affect some areas and experiences.

Many reviews praise value and quiet surroundings near highways and the airport. Common downsides include inconsistent housekeeping or room servicing, occasional front desk missteps at check-in, and facilities frustrations such as cold pool water, elevator or ice machine outages.

Staff superbly friendly. Place very clean. But our room did not have the bedding for the pull out couch and so my sister had to go down and get it since place was understaffed. Pool was extremely cold and pool room needs a clock!!!

Stayed one night on a Sunday, because we didn’t want to drive home in the dark after a three-day walking pilgrimage from the Lake is the Blessed Sacrament to the shrine of the North American Martyrs. Room was quiet, bed was comfortable. Pool was good for swimming laps (entire pool is also 4-1/2 ft deep). Fridge in room was not very cold but the desk staff kindly put our food items and ice pack into a service fridge/freezer for us. Breakfast was excellent. We will definitely stay here again after next year’s pilgrimage!

If you ever wanted to have the immersive experience of staying in an active construction site, stay here. The building filthy and torn up from being under renovation. The constant banging reminded me of the story my father told me about going through POW training in the Navy, where they stuffed him in a box and banged on it as a type of torture. I am astonished that Comfort Inn would even allow guests to stay here.

The hotel, overall, was clean, updated and in a good location. Inside and outside were very quiet. Our room was adequate, but a little small. Bathroom was very small. Breakfast had a lot of choices, but honestly (quality wise) was an overall disappointment. The staff was of the HIGHEST quality for friendliness and service. The pool was clean, and we actually had it all to ourselves when we went down. For what we paid, it was a GREAT choice that provided a great stay.

They are undergoing construction, but the breakfast and lobby areas are fine. I like the pool, but do not understand why a pool without a lifeguard is only open during certain hours. The sign says it’s open from 7 am to 11 pm. The staff says it’s 8am to 10 pm. Key cards don’t open the door, so people can only go in if staff lets them in. I like to swim laps early , so that was annoying to me.

The hotel is under renovation, but our room on the 3rd floor was brand spanking new! Very comfortable. The breakfast was actually good and the attendant was a wonderful lady. When going to check in, at 2:45pm we were told that our room was not ready and that we had to come back at 3:00. 15 minutes later, the front desk person said our room wasn't ready, but she could give us another room. Seems a little nutty that she made us wait for 15 minutes.

For some reason after staying here for years, the heat in our room just couldn’t be regulated. We couldn’t sleep well either night. Strangely, we would set it to be comfortable as we laid in the bed, but if we stood up it was too cold. I don’t understand. Same with regulating the water temperature in the shower. Otherwise all was fine just as usual.

It’s more of experience I witnessed at front desk. The front desk person gave a room key to a guy and took his word for it that I was his room. That gave off an uncomfortable feeling in regards to safety. I get it you have a lot of things to do and responsibilities. I feel just pulling up his name quickly and checking would be mandatory. He was checking me in asked for my card and license 3 times because he was trying to do 3 things at once.

I booked the room in April. The front desk said they attempted to get ahold of me to let me know there were no rooms available the day of check in. Said they were sending me to another hotel in free of charge. We got there and they said the Clocktower said they would cover half. Huge miscommunication and inconvenience.

We were not given the room type that we reserved. Late in the evening, water started dripping from the ceiling onto the couch-so we had to get dressed, repack, and move rooms. I tried calling the front desk but no answer. When I walked down there she was on a personal call and responded “ok” when I told her I tried to call. No apology or anything for all of our trouble.

We should have been informed that the property was having renovations done when we booked. We arrived before 3pm and the young lady on duty would not take care of check in until 3. I understand our rooms may not have been ready, but I don't see why she couldn't take care of the check in process. I have never stayed in a hotel where they wouldn't check you in before the room was ready. There wasn't even anyone at registration when we arrived, we waited 10 minutes for some one to greet us. I did not like the fact that there was no housekeeping after you check in unless you asked and we were not informed of that at check-in. I have never experienced that before. There were only 2 luggage carts and someone checked in and put them in their room so we didn't have any. I do want to say that the young lady that was at registration at check out was great. She went looking for carts for us and when she couldn't find them offered to carry our luggage down for us. I did not get her name unfortunately. Linda, the lady who was on duty for breakfast on Saturday morning was great. Introduced herself and told us if we needed anything to let her know.

Salsa and cheese nearby for your eggs! I believe there was even turkey bacon as well. Im sure I missed a few but the breakfast area was 10/10 for a 3.5 star hotel like this.

Great hot breakfast and breakfast staff are great. However, the coffee is TERRIBLE. The warm drink stand in the lobby only has lukewarm terrible coffee. The tub water never stopped running, the drain ran slow and the shower curtains are a fabric kind that lets the water blow right through onto the floor. Toilets are really too low. Beds and pillows are awesome but what's up with these "fake duvets" with a comforter with two sheets on top and bottom that comes apart as you sleep?
