What guests think

At Clarion Pointe Decatur Downtown, guests often praise clean, refreshed rooms and friendly staff, while noting drawbacks such as tight, tricky parking with some renovation clutter on-site, plus inconsistent breakfast availability and limited options.

Beds are widely described as comfortable, though a few guests note odors, noisy or weak HVAC, water-pressure issues, or minor in-room defects like loose fixtures or malfunctioning fridges. Some guests also report policy disputes (deposits, pet rules, smoking), room-type mismatches, early housekeeping, and difficulty finding staff at checkout. Overall, expect a budget-friendly stay with solid basics but occasional inconsistencies.

The check in process was easy and the person at the desk was very friendly. When I was looking for parking it was hard. So make sure to get into your room early for parking. The room was very basic, which was fine but had a musk smell. Also the fridge didn’t open. There was hair on one of my beds. I came due to work so just needed a quick place to lay my head and shower.

The entire property is under renovation, there were no lights next to the bed, few outlets, it did seem very clean but the door also didn't fully close that there was light coming through.

The parking wasn’t user friendly. It was very narrow. The bathroom needed some TLC. The bedspread had burn holes in it. The room was clean but needed a chair.

Despite this location being listed as Pet Friendly on the Expedia site , this is not the case! At check-in, the clerk informed me that pets were not allowed. When I pointed out that the website said they were pet friendly, he told me that was not their policy. In addition, in my view, this property is not ready for room rental, there was box after box after box of room items stored in the lobby, I presume for installation later. I was a bit concerned also that there was not a single automobile in the parking lot, so I am going to say that it was just as well, If you are traveling with pets, do not consider this property.

The only issue is their side parking, its extremely tight and very hard to manuever a vehicle. Otherwise a great property and very lovely staff

Everything was great. The only problem was the floors were not clean and the Commode was very loose from the floor. Other than that we really enjoyed the stay and would definitely stay again in the future.

Pleasantly surprised, doesn't look like it would be as nice inside judging from the outside. The room was very clean, aesthetic, shower was clean, worked nicely, towels soft añd plentiful. No microwave. Only complaint was we couldn't find anyone to check out, had to search the rooms. Would definitely stay there again.

Well, for the most part the room was less to be desired than i would have thought. The room was a smoking room, so i didn't expect it to be fantastic but would have expected it clean. The room cost me $80 a night, it smelled like Marijuana when i first walked in, then when i put my bag down roaches scattered from the desk and up the wall. They were in the bathroom and around the microwave and refrigerator. The trash can had trash in it already and one of the rags was used and had lipstick on it, and the bed spread was coated in cigarette burns. I'm surprised there was enough cover to stay warm so I put the thermostat up high. I doubt i would ever stay there again unless i absolutely had to.

There was a hole in the bathroom door and some damage under the sink. However, the front desk attendant said they were in the process of remodeling all of the rooms. The room was clean and the front desk clerk was friendly. Overall, a nice budget-friendly place for an overnight stop.

To start hotel was paid for and clearly stated no extra fees due at property. When I refused to let me charge my card again then they wanted $100 cash deposit for a hotel that definitely wasn’t worth that. Check out at 11. At 8 house keeping kept banging on the door to do housekeeping. So I do not recommend this place. We and family members stay in Decatur very often. None of us will ever stay here again.

Decent property for the price. Nothing crazy about. Nothing great, but nothing bad. Best thing about it is the AC got the room SUPER cold and the property is literally right beside both a Hardee’s and a Waffle House. Past that, there’s nothing to write home about. Easy check-in and out. Affordable

The hotel is nicer than I expected. Breakfast was lacking options. Only had yogurt, instant oatmeal, bananas & waffle mix. The highlight is the coffee setup was pretty good with a variety of creamers and mix-ins available.
