John at the front desk was very funny and welcoming upon arrival and very informative on how to get to our room. He called shortly after to make sure we made it safe, which i thought was very nice of him as we did come in pretty late in the night. We were explained everything to thoroughly on wifi and what was and was not available. The room was up to our standards since we just needed a place to sleep as we were at the park majority of the time. It was so close to the park and near all your breakfast needs ( Dennys, Waffle House, IHOP). Parking was right in front of our room or close by where you can see. There are only 2 floors so be mindful if you luggage , heavy items. They offer a shuttle which is great . You have to go the morning of and request . We opted not to because of the time is comes back and we like to stay till the very end at closing so we parked at the theme park . OVERALL it was not a bad stay and i would stay again

The sink was clogged when washing hands etc.

We had a great stay. The staff was very nice and answered any questions we had, there were many amenities including a great restaurant, bar, convenience store and cafe. I really have nothing but positive things to stay about the place. The rooms were comfortable and we didn't notice much noise the entire week, everything was clean, and the hot water was hot! We had a late flight the last day and we were allowed to store our luggage at the front desk to be able to enjoy our last day without lifting bags everywhere. Everything was very tastefully decorated and it was a very manageable walk to universal every day. Walgreens a short walk away for some groceries and several restaurants within walking distance, we couldn't have asked for anything to be better.

If I had to say something negative, it's just to get all the spouts working in the hot tub. There were enough going that it was still very enjoyable, that's just a nit pick of o had to add a negative.

I have stayed several times at this little gem of a place, it location is fantasic, the staff are always vert helpuful and happy to help with any requests, okay it doesnt have all fancities of some of the bigger places, but for me I do not need these, you come to Orlando for the sun, the activities, and fun therefore you really do not spend any time in your room other than to sleep and wash, to that end I love this place, the pool is clean and is always quiet, if you want a day just to be lazy its perfect, parking is free which is teh added bonus in my mind, and as i said with the location being only a 15-20 minute walk to Universal you save on any parking costs there, finally dont waste your money on anywhere else this wee place will meet your requirements and leave you feeling appreciated and ready to book again.

Having now stayed here I think 6 times with varying times of year and lengths of stay the only thing i would like, with the flight times available for the UK a late checkout facility would be very helpful.

The location is excellent. It is a 20-minute walk to City Walk from the hotel. Several restaurants, fast food, and Walgreens are within walking distance but not evident from the hotel. They offer a shuttle service, but we did not use it. There is no resort fee. There were minor issues with the room: the security latch was not on the door, and the in-room phone did not work (they offered to send someone up to fix it, and I declined). A fridge in your room and a microwave are available by the fitness center. There is an outdoor pool. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Nothing. I have stayed at this hotel several times and will stay there again.

Fairly basic hotel, it was goold location to Universal, the shuttle bus was ok but the times were not the best and quite often booked, but you can get an Uber $7 and $12 during the day, night tine expect to pay crazy prices, but you can easily walk between the park and the hotel takes about 15 mins and is safe as there is an over road bridge so you are not dodging the crazy cars on the roads. Rooms are ok and did the job. Pool was the nice, and refreshing after a hot day in the parks. Breakfast was basic and cheap - ok

Rooms were small, no balcony or patio so it was very difficult trying to get clothes dry, and towels! Also walls were paper thin so you could hear people above us and next door chatting away at stupid oclock in the morning.

- Location - Pool - Beds - Parking - WiFi

- Limited access to the microwave - Low quality gym. Extremely poor. It’s better to get rid of it than to renovate. - Breakfast availability. We chose this place because of its close proximity to Universal Studios Park. We liked everything and would definitely recommend it. The only disappointing thing was that our room was right next to the stairs, so it was loud at night. It’s more about people who don’t care about others’ rest, but in the end, it affects the overall experience. There are two ladies serving breakfast, so be aware and count your change. They often make mistakes with change and do not provide receipts, so it’s best to be cautious.

IT WAS AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE AT CLARION. THE LOCATION AND PRICES WERE THE BEST.

THE ROOM CLEANING SERVICE CAN BE IMPROVED. I REQUESTED FOR SOME TEA BAGS, SUGAR AND GLASSES FROM THE LADY AT RECEPTION IN THE NIGHT. THE LADY SEEMED TO BE LITTLE RUDE AND VERY CLEARLY NOT HAPPY TO PROVIDE THESE ITEMS. THE MANAGER IS VERY NICE AND SEEMED ALWAYS HAPPY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. I PARTICULARLY LIKED TABLA RESTAURANT STAFF. VERY COOPERATIVE AND HAD HAPPY FACES. THE SERVER LADY SONAL AND THE MANAGER NATHAN CAN BE MENTIONED AS THE BEST EMPLOYEES. WE TOOK DINNER IN TABLA RESTAURANT EVERY NIGHT OF OUR STAY. THE FOOD IS WORTH APPRECIATION.

Very pleased with our stay at Clarion Inn and Suites during our Universal Vacation. First of all the staff was very friendly and informative. The Hotel itself was extremely close to all attractions and parks. The free shuttle service to and from Universal was a money saver on the parking. Then not to mention the rate per night vs other within the same distance. We will definitely make this our go to stay for Universal from now on.

Laundry room could use some attention appliances we're clean just the room itself needs some tlc. Close to hwy hear traffic all hours of night.
