Top Santa Claus Hotel Reviews

Clarion Pointe Jasper

Clarion Pointe Jasper

10/10 Excellent
"We were beyond impressed with our stay at the Clarion Pointe Jasper! Formerly a Days Inn, the interior has recently been remodeled and was clean, comfortable and quiet. Wendy greeted us at the front desk every time we walked by and truly cared about our stay - we were visiting Holiday World and she even reminded us of the time zone change. The free breakfast from 6-9AM was great- on both mornings of our stay they had omelets, sausage, waffles, yogurt, cereals and assorted baked goods which staff regularly replenished. Our room was very basic but clean and the beds were comfy. Our room had a large mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker (the single-cup soft pods). There was also coffee and tea available in the lobby. For on-site restaurants, there wasn't one- the Latin Cuban restaurant attached to the hotel appears to be permanently closed. However, Los Bravos, an excellent Mexican restaurant is literally only steps away (there is even a staircase from the hotel to the restaurant parking lot). The hotel is also immediately next to an 8-screen movie theater. Other amenities included guest laundry ($3 in quarters per load) charcoal grill, various picnic tables and a dedicated smoking section out back. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor pool. We stayed over Labor Day weekend and it was perfect! The water was warm and clean and there were lots of loungers to choose from and even a few floats and pool noodles. We will definitely stay here again if in the area!"

"The staff was great but the pool area was a mess. Confetti, cigarette butts and bottle caps all over the ground. Something in the pool turned my daughter's feet blue. The hot tub was not working and looked like it had something in it. The room had a misty oder from being closed up for to long as well."

10/10 Excellent
"My entire three-day experience was very pleasant. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. My room was very comfortable. I appreciated the soaps, hair products and other health and beauty aids. The breakfast was very convenient. I was intrigued by the privacy shade on the window, where I could see out but which provided total privacy. My only problem during my stay, which was in no way connected with the hotel, was that coming back from Owensboro to the south, the highway exit leading to the hotel was blocked due to road construction. However, there was a turnaround a mile or so up the road. I will definitely plan to make reservations at this hotel during my future trips to the Owensboro area."
