| - I truly wanted to be able to give a 5 star review for the hotel, but I just can't do it. I had been to The Clarendon on several occasions as I am a huge fan of Gallo Blanco, but this was my first time staying at the hotel.
There were several of us that stayed at the hotel for my sister's bachelorette party, so we ended up booking four rooms total. I had called weeks in advance about getting a discounted room rate and one wasn't really available for a group our size. (I think they require 9+ rooms for a group rate which seemed pretty standard with all of the hotels I had checked in with). 3 of the rooms were ready upon our arrival around 1 PM. My parents came later in the day, around 4, and their room was not ready. They had to wait over an hour for the room to be available.
We booked a cabana for our stay, and for the $200 it cost, It was absolutely not worth it. The seating area was decent size, but there are no lounge chairs around it and minimal sun. All of the lounge chairs on the opposite side of the pool were already taken, so there was really nowhere to lay out. In my opinion, there should for sure be dedicated lounge chairs if you are paying to reserve the cabana. Water, soda and ice were included with the cabana, but there was only one person working the entire pool area, so requesting these things was rather difficult. The poor guy that was working the pool area did his very best, but one person simply wasn't enough for all of the people out there and drinks averaged about 30 minutes to arrive. To me, this is totally unacceptable.
The rooms themselves were okay. We had two beds in our room and these were rather small. I believe they were doubles instead of queens which resulted in my bf's feet hanging off the bed. The single rooms are kings, so just be prepared if you need two beds that they will be smaller. The room came stocked with a Keurig and Philosophy bath products as well as robes, so those were all pluses. The biggest issue was how warm it was. We were in a room with high sun exposure and the wall mounted air conditioning unit just wasn't cutting it. We were sweating all through the night and it made sleeping super uncomfortable.
All in all, Clarendon certainly wouldn't be my first choice for a stay in the downtown area, but it was decent. I just think the $200+ a night stay was wayyyyy too much for the quality of the room and service we received.
