Clarion Inn Near China Lake Naval Station ·

I recently stayed at Clarion Inn Hotel 5 nights in [February & march 2026 there for work trip. Overall, it was a very positive experience, primarily due to the outstanding service and prime location. While the rooms are cozy and clean -what did I like most was : The Location: You cannot beat this spot. It is right in the heart of [RIDGECREST CA], within walking distance of the Military base and museum , grocery store across the street as well as a known shopping center. The Staff & Service: Every staff member I interacted with, from the front desk to housekeeping, was exceptionally friendly and professional. Special thanks to the men working at the front desk for going above and beyond. Cleanliness & Comfort: The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was kept spotless by the clea

I’m in town every week for work and the Clarion Inn is my consistent go-to. It’s exactly what you want in a hotel: clean, reliable, and fairly priced. Nick at the front desk is fantastic and always makes my Monday check-ins a breeze. I also love the free breakfast and having an on-site bar and restaurant. While there are newer spots nearby charging over $200 a night, I just can’t justify the price when the Clarion provides everything I need for a much better value. I’ll definitely keep coming back.

We stay here several times a year and the room is great and so is the staff. Always wish there were something different for breakfast instead of scrambled eggs every day. The room was clean but one of the toilets kept running. We reported it when we checked out.

I wish I took pictures. So hopefully this review will help you. We really loved this hotel. The room was big, very very clean, the king size bed was very soft. Like pillow top soft. Plenty of pillows, we had a fridge, microwave, coffee pot with the stuff to make coffee, double door locks, great jacuzzi! nice and hot and the bubbles work. This jacuzzi only has bubbles not high speed jets, but it was nice. the pool was nice too. The towels are huge and fluffy. Nice. They have an awesome continental breakfast in a really nice restaurant style eating area. Separate from all this they have a really nice actual restaurant, that caters to your needs, like we wanted to see Supercross racing and they went above and beyond to make sure we got to watch supercross. Food was good, service was good too.

Very nice staff at front desk. When we checked in last night the clerk was very friendly and shared about the town and its features. This morning, I showed Alex a pic of the floor tile that was loose at the writing desk in room 105, but he said that the maintenance is a "1-man show" and it most likely would not get repaired due to budget cuts by general manager. Well, by the looks of the peeling paint and weeds everywhere, it's obvious that the owners are not prioritizing simple maintenance. This is unfortunate, since the place will continue to decline and lose reviews. It looks like it used to be a nice facility, but the beds are now compressed, the door seals allow light and sound in, and the walls are super thin. We had to turn on our TV, in order to drown out the neighbor's TV. Other
