STAY AWAY FROM THIS AWFUL HOTEL!!
RUN AWAY FROM THIS ONE!! I too never leave reviews, however, I feel that other people who are considering this hotel should be warned. I am not an overly fussy person, but do expect to have a clean room. We attended the PGI Convention last week, (8-8-08 to 8-16-08) and were very very very disappointed with this hotel. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK TO GILLETTE due to the horribly high rates for an awful awful room. They supposedly gave us a discount off of the original rate of $185.00 to $129.00..and really, if we had somewhere else to go, I would have gone!! Literally ran!! Everything was booked due to the convention being in town. First off, we had to move 3 times because the first two rooms were a mess and SMELLED urine and feces!! The second room leaked coolant into the bathroom also. They told us the green liquid was NOT coolant, however, my husband is a plumber and A/C tech and knows what coolant is. It leaked all over my make-up and other toiletries.. Even after we were moved AGAIN, the "final" room still had an awful odor, and this was supposed to be one of their "remodeled rooms". Their solution..left us with a can of air freshener. The jacuzzi was disgusting. The water was BROWN, and finally on Thursday they totally drained it. So, needless to say, we did not use either the pool or jacuzzi. They were remodeling??? and we only saw a mess, no work being done. Our room did have newer carpet, however, I tripped 4 times on the carpet in the hallway, as it was all wavy. The ice maker on the first floor was not in working order and the maid told us it has been broken form at least 6 months. We contacted the manager, all to no avail. She replied that they were remodeling, but really... clean the darn rooms and the pool and jacuzzi!! There was one housekeeper that was very helpful, and she was the only one. Really folks...run from this low class hotel that charges first class rates. We picked this hotel because they are the highest price hotel in Gillette, and silly me, I thought..hmmm..highest price must be the nicest. OBVIOUSLY I was wrong. The general concenses of the other PGI participants who stayed at this Gillette Clarion was that we all got took. We expected a nice clean room and full amenities..and got zero. I have had a much nicer rooms at $39.00 than the price of $185.00 at the Clarion In Gillette, WY. I do intend to contact Clarion headquarters. Dirty Smelly Rooms..Awful Service, High Rates=Bad Stay.
