Prescott Valley's BEST Clarion Pointe: Unbeatable Deals & Amazing Stays!
Okay, buckle up, because we’re diving HEADFIRST into a review of Prescott Valley's Clarion Pointe! I'm talking deep dive, goggles on, full snorkel. Forget those sterile travel agent descriptions; this is the REAL deal, warts and all (hopefully not too many…on the walls, at least).
Headline: Clarion Pointe in Prescott Valley: They're Trying, and Sometimes, It's Actually Pretty Great! (But Let's Be Real for a Sec…)
Right, so let's start with the basics, because, you know, gotta get through the boring stuff before the good bits.
Accessibility: Okay, HUGE points here. Wheelchair accessible? Yes! That's a massive win for inclusivity right off the bat. And they're not just paying lip service to it, either. Look, I haven't personally tested every single nook and cranny with a wheelchair (I’m not that thorough!), but from what I saw, it felt genuinely designed with accessibility in mind. Elevator? Check! Facilities for disabled guests? Absolutely! This matters. It really, truly does.
Internet Access: Oooooh, the modern traveler's lifeblood! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Thank the internet gods! Because let's be real, nobody wants to pay extra for that anymore (unless you're in a fancy Parisian hotel, probably). Internet [LAN] is listed, which is a bit old-school, but hey, if you're that tech-y, go for it. Internet services in general are available. I actually needed to download a massive file and the Wi-Fi handled it pretty well without too much rage-inducing buffering. Wi-Fi in public areas also.
Cleanliness and Safety: Pandemic Edition! This is where things get… interesting. Anti-viral cleaning products? Hopefully, I'm not gonna check that by licking surfaces, though the urge is strong. Breakfast takeaway service? Sweet, got this one checked off. Cashless payment service? Standard, thank goodness. No fumbling with old bills! Daily disinfection in common areas? Good, good. Rooms sanitized between stays? Okay. Individually-wrapped food options? Probably a good thing. Staff trained in safety protocol? I assume so. Nobody coughed on me (yet). Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Good, I think. I ordered the breakfast. Hand sanitizer? Everywhere. I think I got some in my eye. I also loved that the Room sanitization opt-out available.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure (or the Need for a Nap)
Alright, let's talk food! This is where a hotel can really shine or…well, not. Breakfast [buffet]? Yes! And here’s where things get good. I’m a sucker for a continental breakfast. I went straight for the waffles and the tiny, slightly sad-looking pastries. They had all of the classics, but let’s be honest, it’s hotel breakfast, so don't expect Michelin stars. Did I feel…bloated and slightly disappointed by the end? Yes. Did I go back for MORE waffles anyway? Absolutely.
Restaurants? Yes! Coffee/tea in restaurant? Yes! Coffee shop? They do have a coffee machine in the room, but you might need industrial strength coffee if you are like me, a coffee monster. I also found the snack bar and the poolside bar, which is a win in the summertime. Happy hour? Possibly! I could not verify… my bad!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference (or Don't)
This is where the hotel either makes your life easier or… well, doesn’t. Air conditioning in public area? I am assuming yes, it's Prescott Valley. Concierge? Possibly, but I honestly don't ask for that much. Contactless check-in/out? YES! Praise the travel gods! Convenience store? A small one. Snacks and essentials. Lifesaver! Daily housekeeping? Yep. Doorman? Nope, but then again, this isn’t the Ritz (thankfully, because my bank account weeps). Elevator? Yes, and thank goodness. Ironing service? Yes, thank you. Laundry service? Also YES. Luggage storage? Yes. Safety deposit boxes? I believe so.
For the Kids: I am not a parent, but I saw kids running around, so, Family/child friendly? Yes. Babysitting service? I can't confirm. I am sure that there were Kids meal as well.
Rooms: Where the Magic (or Mild Discomfort) Happens
Okay, so here's the real truth, people: the rooms are…fine. Non-smoking rooms? Check! Air conditioning? Duh, we already knew that. Air conditioning? Yes! Blackout curtains? Bless. I need to sleep! Coffee/tea maker? Yes! The one in my room was a bit wonky, and the coffee came out pale and sad, but hey, it was there. Desk? Present and accounted for. Free bottled water? SCORE! Mini bar? Present and accounted for, with a couple of snacks. Refrigerator? Yes! Internet access – wireless? Yep! Shower? Fine. Toiletries? Standard hotel fare. Wake-up service? Yes, and it's probably more reliable than your own internal clock after a long day. Wi-Fi [free]? YES! Window that opens? YES!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Because Vacations Aren't Just About Breakfast Buffets (Mostly)
Okay, so let's talk about the "fun" stuff. Fitness center? I glanced in, it looked…adequate. I didn't actually use it, because, well, vacation. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Yes! And it looked inviting! There may have been a pool with the pool view.
Getting Around?
Airport transfer? Not free. Car park [free of charge]? YES! A huge, glorious win. Taxi service? Probably. Valet parking? Nope.
Overall Vibe: It’s Trying…And Sometimes Succeeding!
Look, the Clarion Pointe isn't the fanciest hotel in the world. It's not the Four Seasons. BUT. It’s clean, it’s convenient, and the staff seems genuinely interested in making your stay pleasant. They're trying. And that, in itself, is something. Some areas are great, some areas need some polishing.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because planning this trip to Clarion Pointe Prescott Valley… well, it's been a journey in itself. And if this itinerary looks anything like the actual trip, bless my cotton socks. Here goes… (Deep breath)
Clarion Pointe Prescott Valley: My Chaotic Conquest (and Possibly Collapse)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Hotel Room Hunt (aka, "Where's My Damn Coffee?")
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX). Okay, so…traffic. Always traffic. I swear, the highway gods are personally out to get me. I'm already running late. I’m picturing a frazzled me in a sweaty, stained shirt, looking like I just wrestled a rhino, not like the chill traveler I think I am.
- 2:45 PM: Finally, rental car picked up. Turns out, I'm in a bright orange… thing. Pray for me. Pray for the other drivers. (Seriously, I’m praying. This is wayyyy more orange than I anticipated).
- 4:30 PM: Arrive at Clarion Pointe Prescott Valley. Check-in. Pray for… coffee. I need caffeine. Desperately. The eyes are a little twitchy already.
- Rambling Note: The hotel room? Okay. It's… functional. Cleanish. But I’m already noticing the small things. Like, the USB ports that seem to be mocking me, the flickering overhead light that's giving me a headache. Oh, and the questionable artwork. It’s like someone raided a thrift store for paintings of… who knows what. I think one might be a weeping cabbage.
- 5:00 PM: Unpack (sort of). Okay, "unpack" is a generous term. More like, throw everything in the general vicinity of the closet and pray nothing explodes.
- 5:30 PM: THE COFFEE QUEST. This is serious. The hotel-provided coffee is… well, it's there. I need a real, honest-to-goodness, artisanal, kick-you-in-the-face-and-make-you-love-it cup of joe. Time to scout for a local coffee shop. (This could be my downfall. I need this coffee).
- Anecdote: Found a coffee shop! The vibe is so… "Prescott Valley." Think lots of flannel (I’m already feeling underdressed), and people who look like they've been hiking since the dawn of time. I'm ordering a double shot to keep up with the Prescott Valley crowd. Wish me luck.
Day 2: Whiskey Row and the Unforeseen Trail (or, "I'm Pretty Sure I'm Lost")
- 9:00 AM: Coffee acquired! Survival mode activated.
- 9:30 AM: Drive to Whiskey Row in Prescott (about 20 minutes). Okay, this is actually pretty cool. The historic buildings, the vibe… yeah, I can appreciate this. But the parking situation? Oy vey.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Explore Whiskey Row. Do the touristy things. Snap photos. Marvel at the architecture. Try not to trip over anything (my coordination skills seem to be inversely proportional to my caffeine intake). Hit up the saloons, imagine the gun fights, maybe get a root beer float… because hey, why not?
- Quirky Observation: Did you know that every saloon has a different type of doorknob? I bet there's a whole historical study on doorknob design, and I'm just now realizing it.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. Something local, something with character. Maybe a burger? Maybe spicy fries? I'm not really sure yet.
- 1:30 PM: Attempt a "moderate" hike. "Moderate" is the key word here, right? I have the map… I think I have the shoes… (They were cleanish when I left the hotel).
- Emotional Reaction: I have a feeling that this "moderate" hike will become a trek of epic proportions.
- 2:00 PM: Hiking… so far, so good. The scenery is lovely. Air is fresh. Feeling optimistic.
- 2:30 PM onwards: The Unforeseen Trail. Okay, so maybe I took a wrong turn. Maybe the "moderate" level was a lie. Maybe I should've packed more water. Pretty sure I'm lost. And my legs… my legs are screaming. This is where the real adventure begins? My brain is starting to melt. I need to find my way back. I’m hungry, parched, and contemplating if I'll see civilization again. I should have packed more water! I should have paid more attention to the trail markers!
- Opinionated Language: This is ridiculous! This so-called "moderate" hike is a downright insult to my delicate sense of adventure. Honestly, I feel like I’ve angered the hiking gods. They're probably snickering at my attempts to "conquer" the trail.
- Messier Structure (because, you know, lost): Okay, so where was I? Ugh. Still on the trail. Pretty sure I passed the same rock formation three times. Legs are wobbling. See a questionable looking plant. Do not eat. Do not eat! The view is… still incredible, but my appreciation is waning a little. Need to find my way back to… oh dear, where am I going again?
Day 3: The Unexpected Gem (and Maybe a Little Rest)
- 8:00 AM: After that hike…sleep. So much glorious sleep.
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Something hearty. Replenish the energy stores. I need it.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Exploring the local area. See what Prescott Valley has to offer. Maybe more coffee?
- Anecdote: Found a quirky little antique shop. It was pure chaos, absolute gold. Found a vintage postcard of something that's probably not appropriate! Also a rusty spoon. Maybe it'll be my momento of the trip.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. Something quick. Sandwich? Pizza? Whatever requires the least amount of effort.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: The Gem: Fain Lake! Didn't really plan this, but it's turned out to be amazing! Such a lovely little oasis. Sat on a dock. Admired the view. It's perfect. Quiet, peaceful. Did some reflecting. That hike messed with my head a little bit, I'm still not over it.
- Doubling Down on Experience: I am going to really soak in this lake. The sun on my face. The gentle breeze. It's what my soul needed. And maybe my legs too.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: More antique shopping? Maybe. Or just relax. Drink more coffee. This trip is… weird, but okay.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner somewhere. Something good. Reward myself.
- 7:00 PM onwards: Early night? Or a drink at a local bar? We'll see. Depends on how my legs feel.
Day 4: Departure and the Aftermath (aka, "Did That Actually Happen?")
- 9:00 AM: Pack. Cleanish the room. Maybe the staff won't judge me too harshly.
- 10:00 AM: Final coffee run. One last chance to savor the caffeine.
- 11:00 AM: Check out. Say goodbye to my little orange car. Please don't blow up.
- 12:00 PM: Head to Phoenix Sky Harbor.
- 1:00 PM onwards: Flight. Think about the trip. Wonder if I'll ever hike again (probably). Wonder if I’ll get back to normal.
Post-Trip Ramblings:
- This trip was… messy. Wonderful. Exhausting. And totally, uniquely me.
- I conquered the (small) things. And, well, lost (almost) on a hike.
- The coffee was magnificent.
- Would I do it again? Maybe. After a long nap and maybe some more therapy.
- Prescott Valley: Not quite sure what to make of you, but I'm glad I came.
- Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a lie down. And more coffee.
(And that, my friends, is the truth. Or at least, a slightly exaggerated, overly caffeinated version of it.)
Escape to Paradise: Luxury at Le Crystal Dinard Plage
Okay, so, Clarion Pointe... Is it *actually* a "deal"? Like, are we talking Motel 6 vibes or something secretly awesome?
Alright, let's level. I'm a sucker for a good deal. My bank account weeps constantly. And yeah, Clarion Pointe *totally* delivers on the "deal" promise. BUT – and this is a big BUT – it's not some cramped, faded, "smells vaguely of stale cigarettes and regrets" kind of deal. Nope. Think… thoughtfully designed, modern-ish rooms. Clean, surprisingly comfortable beds (I’m a bed snob, I swear!). Plus, the breakfast? Not just sad, cold cereal and instant oatmeal. They've usually got *something* decent. I once snagged a waffle so perfectly crispy, it almost made me cry. Almost. (Don't judge. I hadn't eaten in hours. Road trips, am I right?)
Okay, fine, there was the one time I pulled a muscle in my back trying to open one of the bathroom doors. I was convinced it was designed as a test of strength. But that’s just me. Don't worry, the door worked perfectly fine the next day! *shudders.* You know, like the classic "you and the doorframe" situation. Never fails to humble you.
What's the vibe? Is it a party hotel? Somewhere to hide from the world? Tell me the TRUTH!
Honestly? It's a chill vibe. Not a raging party. Thank GOD. I'm too old for that noise. Mostly families, road-trippers like me, and maybe a few business travelers who look as exhausted as I feel at 7 AM. You can definitely hide from the world here, which is a *major* plus when you're desperately trying to avoid that one annoying family member. The pool is… well, it’s a pool. Cleanish. Sometimes a little crowded, but hey, that's life, right? And the lobby? Always some sort of vaguely pleasant elevator music. You're not gonna be thrilled, but you’re not going to be traumatized. It's a safe space, a neutral zone in the chaos of the world.
I vividly remember one time: I was desperately trying to check in early because I was *beyond* hangry, and the reception was… well, a total mess, but in a weirdly charming way. The woman was juggling a phone call, a screaming toddler, and a malfunctioning computer. I considered just leaving, then saw her exhaustion, and I think, "Yep, I get it." She managed to check me in, and in that moment, I decided I liked the place.
The rooms. Let's talk rooms. Are they cramped little shoeboxes? Because I have stuff. A LOT of stuff.
Okay, *fair* question. It’s not a mansion, but the rooms are surprisingly spacious. Like, actual room to move around! They’ve got that whole minimalist-chic thing going on. Clean lines, modern furniture. The kind of place where you feel a little bit of a grown-up, even though you haven't showered in two days. I'd say they’re perfectly adequate. Functional. And the beds! Seriously, I mentioned I'm a bed snob? Memory foam. I could sleep on those beds forever. Or at least until the complimentary breakfast gets too enticing.
The bathroom? Decent. Good water pressure, which is ESSENTIAL for a proper shower. I once stayed at a hotel where the water barely dribbled out, and I swear I aged five years in that one shower. So, yeah, Clarion Pointe passes the bathroom test with flying colors.
What's the breakfast situation? 'Cause a sad continental breakfast can ruin a whole day.
Okay, breakfast is KEY. I’m not easily pleased in the morning. Clarion Pointe is... consistently good. They usually have a good selection of carbs, fruit (sometimes slightly bruised, but hey, it’s fruit!), yogurt, and the all-important coffee. And, like I said, the waffle maker is sometimes a real game-changer. It can seriously elevate your mood from "zombie" to "semi-functional human". It's not a gourmet brunch situation, but you won’t starve. And, in my experience, the staff are really trying. I appreciate the effort.
My ONE major breakfast memory? I was in a *rush*, and they were out of coffee. PANIC. But one of the staff members, bless her heart, noticed my desperation and made me a fresh pot in record time. Saved my morning, she did. Forever in her debt.
Is it close to anything fun? Prescott Valley seems… well, like a valley.
Prescott Valley *is* a valley. But that's the beauty of it! It's a good base for exploring. Clarion Pointe is centrally located. You got your basic fast food needs covered, and there are some decent restaurants nearby. Close to the highway, which is a win for road trips (or avoiding the scenic routes that always add an extra two hours to your trip, ugh). Plus, nearby Prescott has more interesting things to do than you can shake a stick at, or so I'm told. Never actually shaken a stick at anything in my life. Okay, I'm rambling… sorry. Yes, it's conveniently located for day trips to all things Arizona.
I went to the bowling alley nearby. They gave me a shoe that was entirely too small. (Note to self: bring your own shoes.)
Worst thing about this place? Give it to me straight!
Okay, truth time. Sometimes, the walls are a little thin. You *might* hear your neighbors. Which is why I travel with earplugs. And sometimes, the elevator is slow. S L O W. Like, "contemplating whether it's faster to walk up three flights of stairs" slow. But honestly, that's it. Minor annoyances. Nothing that would make me swear off them forever. Other than my door incident. Still, I get it, you know? It's a hotel. It has some imperfections. But the good bits? The clean rooms, the decent breakfast, the reasonable prices? Those REALLY tip the balance in their favor.
The worst thing, though? Realizing, after you check out, that you didn't take any of those delicious waffles. The REGRET. Man, the regret is real.
Overall, would you recommend the Clarion Pointe in Prescott Valley?
Yes. Unequivocally. If you want a clean, comfortable, affordable stay, this is a solid choice. I've stayed there multiple times. The good outweighs the bad. I’d stay again, and the next time I'm there, I'm taking two waffles.
