CLARION HOTEL, ANDERSON INDIANA

A NICE EVENING ALONE WITH MY WIFE -

I FINALLY RECEIVED ENOUGH POINTS FOR THE CHOICE PRIVILEGES TO GET A FREE NIGHTS STAY. WE DECIDED TO STAY IN ANDERSON, INDIANA THE THE FAMOUS CLARION HOTEL. WE DON'T LIVE FAR, BUT WERE ABLE TO GET THE GRANDPARENTS TO WATCH THE KIDS SO WE COULD ENJOY AN EVENING TOGETHER. UPON ARRIVAL, THE MAIN SIGN OUTSIDE WAS HANGING AND THE GROUNDS WERE NOT WELL KEPT. THE CLERK AT THE FRONT DESK TOLD ME TO HOLD ON WHILE SHE FINISHED HER PERSONAL PHONE CALL. THEN SHE ASKED WHAT DID I WANT?

I INQUIRED ABOUT A SUITE POSIBLY WITH A WHIRLPOOL TUB AND SHE REPLIED THAT YOU CAN'T GET THAT WITH PRIVILEDGE POINTS. SHE SAID THAT THE ROOM WOULD COST $130 A NIGHT WITHOUT THE POINTS. EVEN THOUGH THE HOTEL WAS MOSTLY VACANT, WE WERE OPTIMISTIC. WE WERE GIVEN A ROOM ON THE SECOND FLOOR, NOT SURE WHY. THE ROOM SMELLED MUSTY AND LOOKED DIRTY. IT WAS ONLY FOR A FEW HOURS OF PEACE OR I WOULD HAVE PACKED UP AND LEFT. WE WENT BACK TO THE ROOM AT 11PM AND LEFT AT 7 AM. WE DID NOT TAKE SHOWERS OR A DIP IN THE POOL. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO EITHER GET MY POINTS BACK OR HAVE ANOTHER ROOM AT A DECENT HOTEL AS A REPLACEMENT. THE CHOICE HOTEL COMPANY DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE. I HAD SENT MY LAST E-MAIL SEVERAL DAYS AGO WITH NO REPLY. BE LEARY OF YOUR STAY WITH CHOICE HOTELS AND ESPECIALLY AT THE CLARION IN ANDERSON, INDIANA
