When we arrived to the property there was no workers to check us in. We had to wait 30 mins for the employee to show up.
The floors were dirty. The kids got in the pool and brought water on the floor so I used a towels to clean it and the white towel was black when I was done.

The vent fan in the bathroom was also black from dirt and dust.

The 1 st room cooler did not work.

The rooms were small.

NOT WORtH THE PRICE.
We could of stayed at a cheaper hotel/motel and been treated better.
DO NOT STAY HERE.

Good budget option.
Bed was comfortable, linens clean. There was a small fridge in the room. Shower was working well. AC kept the room cool, though it was pretty loud - I used earplugs at night.

TV was in the room but I didn’t use it so I do not know whether it was working.

Front desk staff was very courteous.

Breakfast had few options: coffee, apple juice, bagels, sliced bread, cream cheese, Cheerios.

Well, first when I got there to check in the attendant was “on a break“ then the next morning when I went to the desk because I didn’t have a tag for no maid service for the door he was “on a break” then when I went to check out, he was “on a break“, his name was Norman and he was pleasant enough, but he was never available three times in a two day stay was a bit ridiculous. Also the floor was very dirty. And then there was a cockroach in the bathroom, I understand that Ridgecrest is the desert and there’s going to be bugs. I understand that, but in all the times I’ve ever stayed in a hotel in Ridgecrest, which a couple of years ago was a lot when I was visiting, but I never had a bug problem. I was highly disappointed in this Clarion establishment.

Bed was comfortable and the room came with breakfast. Other than the waffle maker not cooking the waffle in the middle, there was enough to eat. Yogurt, cold cereal, coffee or bagels.

I had a great stay here. When I arrived, the manager, Noman (from Bangladesh), was so kind and welcoming. He actually showed me the room first to make sure I liked it! He said if I didn't like it, he would change it for me. I felt very cared for.

The Room:
The room is remodeled and very clean. I really liked that it has wood floors, not old carpets. The room is a bit small, but the bed was very comfortable and the sheets were very clean. The bathroom vanity is also new and a good size.

One small thing:
The shower booth is a bit small, and the curtain is short, so some water leaked on the floor. But everything else was great.

The Best Part:
Noman is a great manager. I needed some boiled water in the morning, and he personally boiled it for me. I want to give him a high score for his service!

Final thoughts:
This is the best value hotel in Ridgecrest. You cannot find this kind of clean room and great service for this price. Highly recommend!

Not my favorite. Would have been nice if the AC had been started before we arrived. We got in late after a long drive and it was really hot in our room. And the door handle, lock/handle on the door was super loose which kinda spooked us. We had him switch us to a different room, this one had dirty wall (orange/red stuff dripping down them?) and the shower floor was brown with stains. Some bugs on the bed, not a huge deal. The pool looked like a scene from a movie.. a movie where you are on crack and hiding from the cops. Comfy bed though! If you’re a dude it’s probably a great place to stay!!

Also, they didn't recognize that my kids were staying at the hotel, and when they were waiting for me to pick them up. The hotel manger kept asking them to leave. I spoke to him the next morning and he was very apologetic. I appreciate that he was protecting the property, and he made a mistake.

We only stayed a short time to sleep as we needed to drive early again. the room was what we needed to sleep, clean, comfy bed. definitely not a 5 star hotel but it was safe and clean and exactly what we needed for the price. we visited breakfast at 5 am. there were pastries and coffee and some other items. looked good to us. I would stay again for a short stay. Also all staff was very helpful over the phone and in person.

Our room was in the middle area so it was quiet no traffic sounds. we did see a gym and a pool both looked up and running and pretty decent as well.

I was fooled by the Clarion name for this motel. Based on the name, it appears that Clarion bought a bunch of Motel 6's ( my son confirmed that this property was a Motel 6), painted the rooms, and cleaned things up a bit, but it is still a Motel 6 at its heart.
Very small shower and no coffee maker. Not a lot of move around room.
There was a small refrigerator and microwave.
Check in was difficult as someone received the money for our 4 day reservation but it was not logged into the properties computer so they had not record of it. Fortunately I always bring receipts so 40 minutes later it was finally straightened out. The young man that was left manning the desk was very pleasant but he was out of his depth and the manager never returned from his \"bathroom\" break in the entire 40 minutes. This same young man was the only staff I ever saw or interacted with in the entire 4 day stay.
I usually only schedule an overnight in these types of motels and choose much nicer places for a 4 day stay. I will not select a Clarion Pointe again and may skip all Clarion properties in the future.

The room were pretty small for four persons. AC was so near other bed that it blew really cold air other bed and in the other bed people said that it’s too warm. So it was hard to find propare tempeture in the room.

Kids waited the pool but it was out of use. The breakfast were okay, nothing special there. The guy who worked there didn’t speak anything. When we were at breakfast, he came in and we tought that he is an another customer. But he went behind the desk so he might be the employee. He wasn’t there when we were leaving, so we left key card there. But the young woman, when we checked in were really nice and friendly.

The front desk clerk was lovely and efficient. And the room was very clean and comfortable. We were extremely worried that we picked a bad spot, though, as their front sign was in tatters and made the place look abandoned. Sadly, the pool was not clean enough to swim in. But, again, the room was much nicer than one would have expected based on the sign and pool. If you just need a good room at a good price, this is a great spot.

The room was spotless, and all towels and bedding fluffy, clean, and fresh. i enjoyed the fitness room very evening, with its treadmills and big flatscreen. The pool is not heated, but is clean and well maintained and makes an excellent cold plunge. Free breakfast of toast, bagels, yogurt, cereals,juice, coffee and teas. Staff was friendly and courteous and even the cleaning staff were just the nicest people. i had a great stay and will definitely stay again.

-Room 126 has orangish-yellow stains on the ceiling in the bathroom...it also has little dark brownish spots on the wall, next to the bed closest to the bathroom....it could be food, best case scenario, or blood spots, worst case scenario...whatever it is, it should be cleaned off
-the housekeeping lady banged on the door at 9:45am, as if she was the cops announcing they have a warrant! I guess to see if we were gone yet?...check out is at 11am...she startled my son, we were sleeping and I told her we would be staying right until check out time of 11am
-they don't have those signs you can hang on the door to say \"do not disturb\" or else I would've used it.

The receptionist was a young woman who was kind and apologetic, she got us a new room but it was not much better. We would not recommend staying here. Our plan was to spend a night here to rest and break up out long drive but we were better off sleeping in the car rather than these rooms.
