Well, I have just checked in to one of the larger rooms at the Clarion Hotel Sign. My initial impression is that it is a medium level hotel with decent facilities but my room is, well, a bit weird. First off, there is no closet or wardrobe in the room. There is a 4 foot high cabinet that has a smallish section with a place to hang clothes -- if you stoop down to reach it.

I asked for a luggage rack (none in the room) and they said they didn't have any. They said that most people just put their luggage on the floor!

The Swedish modern desk chair I am sitting on is amazingly uncomfortable.

One corner of my room is entirely dark, probably because it has the same lighting allotment as the smaller rooms. As there are no power outlets anywhere near the dark section of the room, there probably is no easy way to fix this problem.

There are soap dispensers in the tiny bathroom (which could have easily been constructed much larger in this particular room), one by the sink, one by the shower, which is with the tub. The soap dispenser could not be reached when using the shower/tub as a tub, but they did provide one tiny bar of soap as well.

Room lighting overall is gloomy and insufficient. If you care about such things (I do), get an extra key on check-in to put in the slot by the door so that the utilities don't go off whenever you leave the room. Will see tomorrow if housekeeping removes it (in cheaper hotels this often happens).

Initially, I'd rate the Sign as able to compete with the local Sheraton in quality provided that the startup issues are dealt with (including, in addition to the room issues above, periodic long lines at the front desk). But it will never be an upscale or luxury hotel.
