Clarion Pointe Harrisonburg

8/10 Good
"The breakfast was amazing. I've never been to a hotel that had sausage gravy which was my husband's favorite breakfast food! The bed was comfortable and no issues with the room itself however, on the side of the toilet there was urine and feces where housekeeping did not clean. You could tell that it was not been cleaned in almost a few weeks. But other than that everything was fine. I tried to tell the hotel staff but there was a note saying there was no one available."

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean and comfortable, smelled fresh. I only stayed one night so can't comment on service. Monty's had good food and some nice selections, reasonably priced for the type of restaurant. Breakfast was a bit pricey, a nice buffet but hard for me to eat $20 worth of breakfast, and it was hard to navigate since no one met you at the entrance from the lobby. A small sign directed you to the coffee bar but it felt odd to traverse the whole restaurant and the buffet to get there and then it was sort of confusing. The gym was nice, equipment worked. There were towels and I did my best to wipe down what I used but would have preferred some disinfecting spray and paper towels to be more thorough. All the staff seemed professional and readily available."
