Clarion Inn & Suites Across From Universal Orlando Resort

Veronica Wong

The rooms are fine, though for some reason the pillows were only half size. Shower pressure was good. You'll hear everything going on outside as there's zero sound blocking. For some reason the black out curtains don't have a track so it's not possible to close the blinds and get privacy. Only the sheer curtains close but you can completely see through them at night. Restaurant downstairs was pretty good.

This is by no means a palace. Firmly a 2-3 star motel. But the folks running it are very friendly and the amenities are just what you need for a short stay. Right across from Universal studios and also just 10 minutes from the convention center, you can't really ask for much more. The area seemed relatively safe and as a man travelling solo, it was just what I needed for the week. The rooms were quite large for just one person, but the walls are relatively thin and hearing your neighbors sometimes is a given. Beyond that, there is a fridge, several drawers and the other basic things you'd expect in a motel. I enjoyed my stay and tip my to Youssef at the desk. Thanks again!

The hotel provided a satisfactory experience overall. This review aims to be candid and fair, not overly negative. The reception staff was consistently pleasant during our stay, contributing to our sense of safety and comfort. We enjoyed the pleasant pool view, and our room was conveniently located near parking. Our stay lasted three nights. However, on the day before our departure, we reported a clogged toilet and requested housekeeping, which was confirmed by the staff. Unfortunately, upon our return that night, neither issue had been addressed. Despite calling the front desk, the manager on duty offered to clean the room very late at night, which we declined. We did request that he inspect the room's condition, but he repeatedly declined. The next morning, when we spoke with the front desk manager, she was understanding and courteous, but indicated that it was up to the housekeeping manager. However, the conversation with the housekeeping manager was less pleasant, as he seemed confrontational and insisted that the room had been cleaned, ultimately ending the call with a brief apology. Despite our efforts to explain the persisting issues with dirty towels, trash, and lack of toilet paper, our concerns were dismissed. Unfortunately, this interaction significantly impacted our perception of the hotel due to the lack of satisfactory customer service from this individual. It's possible that this was an isolated incident.

Stayed here for a 4 day trip to Universal. Staff were fine. Maintenance was fast if you can track them down in person and ask rather than asking at the front desk. There were quite a few issues with my room. I had bed bugs when checking later on in my stay. The shower did not work past a specific temperature. The toilet stopped working by day 3. We found bugs in the bathroom on day 1 and 2. I don’t think it’s worth $100 a stay. Because of its outdoor hotel set up, there is a lot going on in the parking lot and you can hear ALL OF IT. If given the choice, I would not stay again.

While the location is close to everything the noise from Interstate 4 is inescapable. There is construction going on of huge apt community across the street. You can see the road and construction from the pool area as well as hear the noise. There is no privacy fence. It is open. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The rooms although painted over are dark and outdated. No ceiling lights. There are no microwaves in the room but one down the hall. The shower did not warm up too hot and the beds were uncomfortable. We bought a shower mat for the tub because my friend slipped and it was dangerous. They had none. We also bought out own pillows. According to Google maps, it is a 30 min walk to get into the park. The rooms were cleaned well upon entering but would not stay again do to noise level and being outdated. Again, props to the staff!! Very helpful and friendly.
