Clarion Hotel Review I liked that there is always someone at the front desk. Check-in went smoothly at 1:00 AM, handled by Raúl. The room was super clean and spacious, and the bathroom was comfortable. I didn't see any vending machines to buy water or snacks, but they have a restaurant next to the front desk with an extensive Indian food menu.

Very nice well kept up hotel with brand new air conditioning systems.. they even have an actual restaurant on property and the six dollar Uber to Universal Studios. Excellent location… extremely clean the owner and property managers to an excellent job… I stay at hotels all the time well worth booking with them.. I don’t usually leave reviews, but it was a pleasure doing business with them..

The beds are rock hard! If you have a tough time with hard beds do not stay here. I felt like I was sleeping on concrete. My kids felt the same way. Great location to the parks but not really walking distance as the site may suggest.

This is my second time in this hotel, it has a great location and price if you are visiting universal Orlando theme parks. This hotel features a shuttle to island of adventures and universal studios but not for Epic universe (important!), you need to book it 24hrs in advance and I recommend to arrive in front of their gym 10min before if you want to ensure a seat, they allow passengers standing. They have an small cafe that serves fresh breakfast (eggs, vegan, wraps) and opens early morning, as well as a Indian restaurant for lunch/dinner. Also walking distance from Fridays and other small cafes. Rooms and beds are comfy, but they are dated and carpets might be an issue for allergic folks, a/c must remain power on to avoid humidity smell.
