Clarion Inn Seekonk – Providence

We have stayed here several times and have never been disappointed. Sonia at the front desk (as well as the other employees) are just wonderful. Theanager, Sylvia is so sweet and helpful with local suggestions.
The hotel itself is clean, comfortable and has a very nice heated pool. The only downside is the pub which is the only eating option within the hotel besides the included hotel breakfast which is awesome. The pub is a place we nw avoid after 5 chances. Small menu, poor service and the drinks are never made properly. They have some of the worst bartenders ever.
Luckily there are plenty of local, nearby options outside of the hotel.
The Clarion may not be the Omni but in our opinion is is better. Less frills which we don’t need and free parking. We won’t stay anywhere else in the RI/​MA area.

I stayed at a clarion in Portland, and thought the Seekonk one would be a similar experience. I was very excited and especially looked forward to their pool as yesterday was my husband’s birthday and it would be a nice day to just relax. The check in girl was nice, but didn’t know how to apply our AAA discount, which as we were checking in at 1 am just wanted to get to our room asap. When we went into room we saw trash from last guests. We had gone out for lunch came back with friends expecting room to be cleaned because when we left we saw two cleaning ladies in our section of hotel, but came back with, friends to the room the same as we left it. Bed wasn’t made, toiletries, and towels not replaced, tub wouldn’t drain, and vending machine didn’t work. Pool was getting maintenance on Tuesday but there was no sign, or indication it would continue into Wednesday. After walking to pool & finding it locked. I had to call the front desk from pool to find out it was still being maintenanced since there was no sign. We were able to go to their sister hotel Hampton inn, and use their pool, but the Hampton Inn pool sucked. The main reason I chose Clarion, and went with the deluxe room for my husband’s birthday was the supposed amenities, but what is the point of staying at a hotel if none of the amenities you pay for are provided. I’m even more upset we paid extra for a deluxe room, and nothing was deluxe, or even basic. Why am I paying for any hotel if I’m going to clean it up myself, have to use shampoo to shower since soap was never replaced, and struggle with the tub not draining so you’re pretty much in your own filth as you shower. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone. This was honestly the worst hotel stay I’ve ever been in. I was embarrassed to bring my guest back to our room. I hate this place

THE WALLS AND DOORS are paper thin! I promise you will hear every flush/​shower/​conversation/​door slamming shut. It was like a puzzle trying to figure out how to use the cot in a room with a king bed — we ended up having to move furniture around. The shower was a disaster with a hand held shower head and its consistency to not stay propped up. The keurig didn’t work, the toilet ran, I woke up to doors slamming, kids running upstairs in the hallway. It honestly was an unpleasant stay.

Seriously disappointed in our stay. From the small room with the cheap décor for over $ 200.00 a night, (king bed), to the faint smell of stale cigarette smoke and drop ceiling hallways, I was disappointed. The bathroom is small and not at all functional due to the way the shower is built and the shower head was not mounted so it slides down as you attempt to shower. It is also darkly lit. Additionally, I initially tried to book through the hotel website which experienced a glitch and would not allow me to book the right room, so I booked through
and just figured I would give them my AAA card in person for the proper rate, but they refused to honor the AAA discount b/​c I had to book through a third party. Frustrating! I also had to put in two maintenance requests in 24 hours; one fixed, one not. Their laundry machines as $ 3.50 to use and they have no change machine and had no change available. The customer service is seriously lacking as well. For this much money we could have stayed in a lovely place in downtown Providence with a heated pool (pool here is cold). Save your money and do not stay here. I will never stay here again. Motel 6 is even better and they are usually last on my list.

Hated it. For 215.00 you are not getting anything better than a Holiday Inn. Cheap décor. Nickel and diming a customer is my personal frustration. (Toothbrush, personal hygiene items, laundry etc.) We couldn’t even do laundry because they didn’t have change they gave away their rolls on a holiday weekend Friday night. (Seriously?) The shower door didn’t shut completely so water went all over, the toilet ran constantly which we had to call and have fixed. Cheap pine furnishings and everything else was clearly on a budget remodeling. I will never return. Save your money go to the Best Western the only difference is the bill. I suppose if you get a room for less than 100 $ it’s alright. After I made a complaint to the front desk of all my issues they gave me 10% off so props for that. Overall though I won’t be back.

This hotel is very, very nice! We stayed on a Saturday night for only one night. We booked the room months in advance for a Wedding we were attending in the area. We had a Queen size bed room and the room was extremely clean and a great size. The room even had a Kuerig in it. My boyfriend was stoked!
Check in was super easy and you could park your car right near your stairs to your room. There is an indoor pool but no jacuzzi. Doesn’t matter it’s still very nice. There is also a restaurant that is very good. Just be aware this is not elevator in this hotel. so if you are in a wheelchair or have any sort of disability make sure you let them know you do want a first floor room!
You will definitely love this hotel. awesome! We loved it!

This hotel is ok for the price. We spent a little over $ 100 per night and stayed here twice.
The rooms are very inconsistent. The first time we stayed, the room was decent, so we decided to come back. The second time, we switched rooms because the room we were put in had a shower, and we had requested a room with a tub. The room they switched us to had a tub, but the carpet was actually sticky. I didn’t even want to walk on it, but I also didn’t want to switch rooms again.
Another major downside was the noise: you could hear everything that happened in the hallways, and the hotel is located right next to an onramp, so you can hear every single tractor trailer that gets onto the highway.
This hotel gets three stars because the staff there are friendly and the free breakfasts are pretty good. Also, there is a decent restaurant attached to the hotel if you don’t want to make the drive into Providence for something to eat.
This hotel is not so great for the price, but if you get a good deal on a room, it’s not a terrible place to stay.

I called the hotel four times to try and cancel an online reservation. I made the reservation through the hotel’s website and upon being directed to the next page, the dates were changed to a date that was two weeks later then my needed reservation. Because I figured a hotel would not try and scam their customers so badly, I tried to call the hotel asking for them to cancel my reservation, they didn’t comply and directed me to the reservation headquarters for all choice hotels. However, upon speaking with headquarters, they said they couldn’t cancel my reservation and that I was stuck paying the $ 100 or that I should contact the hotel directly because they were the only ones who could cancel the reservation — so which one is it? Money doesn’t grow on trees for me and now I am going to my credit card company to dispute the charge. This has been a huge hassle for something that should take two minutes.
*The hotel recently replied to my messages and has agreed to refund the amount of the reservation. Thank you, Clarion.*

My husband and I stayed many nights at the Clarion during the past two months while we were on a death vigil for a family member. The staff were wonderfully sympathetic and empathetic to us and our needs.
We had a favorite room that we reserved whenever we could get it and our «extra 3 pillows» were usually in the room when we checked in. The room (s) are comfortable and clean, beds are very comfortable, and, when in the room, you can’t hear sounds from other rooms or in the hallway.
The breakfast choices are more than ample, the breakfast room is clean and well managed by the 3 women who work there. I agree with a previous reviewer that the coffee is very weak. I used the Keurig coffee maker in my room to make coffee and would bring that coffee to breakfast.
Silvia is the general manager and she and her staff are very efficient, tending to every request in a timely fashion.
We look forward to returning to the Clarion under happier circumstances.

Very nice… visiting daughter in east providence but wanted a reasonable hotel with a pool and bar… this fit the bill and we are pleasantly surprised. At $ 100 a night I expected so so accommodations… but while the room is small, it is nicely appointed and as a bonus there is an easy chair to sit in so you’re not forced to lay on the bed! Pub located on site is very nice… everyone has been friendly and helpful… breakfast lady was especially nice and helpful. This will be, I think, our default hotel from now on!

My family and i rented a total of seven rooms. The hotel rooms and lobby were recently updated and very beautiful and comfortable. The free breakfast that is included is pretty extensive — hot foods such as eggs, sausage, waffles and oatmeal as well as fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, bagels, etc.
The staff were amazing. My family gathered for a funeral (unfortunately). The family members were arriving from all over the East Coast at a variety of times of the day and evening. The staff were so accomodating with all of the needs of different family members. They even allowed us to use their breakast room for a gathering after the funeral.
We were there two separate snowstorms — one the day we arrived and one the day we left. The restaurant attached is quite good and their menu extensive enough that it was okay to eat two meals in one day (lunch and dinner). The prices were affordable and the food was very fresh.
A special shout out to Sylvia, one of the Managers. She went well beyond the call of duty and was ready with a smile at every turn. She called eight different cab companies to try to get me a ride to the train station in a snowstorm. She even stopped by Walmart on her way home to see if she could find a pair of gloves for me. My family and I felt like guests in her home we were so well taken care of.
I’d stay there again in a heartbeat — with the intention of it not being for a funeral! It is so close to the Breakers, staying there would be quite convenient.

A decent size hotel, that was quite busy. Rooms were updated, clean and fairly comfortable, but the bed was on the springy side. From the hallway loud TVs can be heard, but luckily once in your room it is quiet. A Keurig machine is located in the bathroom with a few pods to choose from. Free WiFi is a plus.
Complimentary breakfast is served until 10am. Contains various fruit, yogurts, cereals, breads and muffins. They also have some scrambled eggs, french toast sticks and sausage patties as well as waffle machines and batter. The coffee served is incredibly weak.
Location wise it is only about a 10 minute drive from downtown Providence and there are some fast food places nearby. There is also plenty of parking available.
Shop around for rates, because they seem to vary quite a bit.
