This is a nice quiet hotel with great food, nice outdoor areas, and a great staff in a nice location. The international outlet mall is only a 5 minute walk and even though they provide free theme park transportation the theme parks are only a 30 minute walk through a scenic area. We have stayed at this hotel a number of times and will continue to stay here anytime we are in the Orlando area.

Staying at this hotel, the staff was friendly and welcoming upon my arrival. The staff provided helpful tips and resources towards finding my room. Shortly Afterwards, I checked out my room, and the room was very big, spacious and very clean. My stay at this hotel was great but this was my first choice hotel that doesn't provided free complimentary breakfast, although they do have a fine dinning restaurant and breakfast cafe. I was a little sad, but the hotel, clean and very reasonable priced. 9/10

Location and Access

This hotel is about location - close to universals and it offers the basics for sure. Obviously an older hotel but they are doing their best to keeping looking fresh and clean. The door to the room could use some help but otherwise it is what you expect from a motel - outdoor hall and an AC unit plugged in below the window. If your looking for easy access to Universal Studios or International Boulevard this place is right between the two.

The shuttle to Universal was quick and easy. The staff was kind and helpful. The room was a bit like a motel though (the pictures looked so glamorous haha). And I could hear my neighbors televisions. But I wasn’t staying at the hotel for the hotel aspect. I just needed a cheap place to sleep and shower after a day of fun. And Clarion checked those boxes!

Ok enough. You get what you pay for here. Rooms were clean enough for a motel, but dirtier than I had hoped—toothpaste stains around the sink, a dead bug in the bathroom, some smudges on the walls. Sheets and towels were clean. Had to switch rooms because the heat wasn’t working in ours (45d in Orlando). Rooms faced the highway. Very loud all night.
