AnettGermanyFür einen Stadttrip okay.
Zentrale Lage und das Frühstücksbufett war sensationell .
Zimmer sind gefühlt seit 30 Jahren nicht renoviert, zumindest die Badezimmer. Außerdem habe ich immer mehr das Gefühl, dass man als Bucher über Bookingcom die…
MaritNOAbsolutt et hotell jeg kan anbefale til mine venner
Beliggenheten og frokosten Deilige såper og kremer
Litt smal seng. Trangt i dusjen, lampe på badet som ikke lyste.

ØyvindNOGreit overnattingssted med sentral beliggenhet.
Sentral beliggenhet. God frokost
Tungvint inngang med bagasje fra parkeringsplassene i kjelleren. Burde vært en heis til resepsjonen.
BerthyNLHet hotel is vlakbij de haven, heel handig. Ook op loopafstand van de Kunstsilo, aanrader.

- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.

Questions about Clarion Hotel Ernst
What time is check-in and check-out at Clarion Hotel Ernst?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Clarion Hotel Ernst allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is breakfast included at Clarion Hotel Ernst?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Clarion Hotel Ernst have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Clarion Hotel Ernst?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Clarion Hotel Ernst have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Clarion Hotel Ernst?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Clarion Hotel Ernst?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
