The hotel is in a fantastic area. It's very safe and walkable to shopping, dining, and bike paths. My family of 4 was there for a soccer tournament at Dicks Sporting Goods Park and wanted to stay somewhere nicer which is how we chose this location and hotel. I originally booked the Clayton and then switched at the last minute to the Halcyon. They are very close to one another. The reviews for Halcyon seemed better and particularly the larger pool was appealing. The hotel was nice, but not as great as the reviews indicated. Overall, it was clean and the service was decent. The pool area felt tired, and the service by the pool was just okay. The pool tile looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years which was gross. The workout facility is just okay and could use some more equipment. The Clayton offers a full gym within the hotel which would have been nice to have. The front desk service was less than desirable. We asked for a room upgrade through the email they sent before arrival but were then told at check-in it wasn't available. I tried to upgrade several times and was promised it would happen and then each afternoon it was no longer available. i wanted to check-out at 1 instead of 12 and was told no because it was sold out. They just didn't seem overly competent or accommodating. That said,it's a fine hotel, just not the 9.2 it's rated.
