The room was clean. Staff was courteous. The location was pretty good for what we wanted to do in Orlando. I could hear a lot of noise from my room of other guest coming and going and that made it hard to sleep. Also the first shower I took the water was not very warm. I had a long flight and wanted to take a nice hot shower and it was not, however when I got up early on another day the shower was hot.

This motel is very misleading. Do not waste your time. We walked in, and knew we were not going to stay here. We booked this location the morning of because we decided on a last minute trip to universal and figured since there was a free shuttle advertised, we would take advantage of it and stay here. Well lo and behold, you have to book the shuttle 24 hours in advance, but that is not displayed anywhere in the property details, otherwise we would have just stayed elsewhere knowing that our trip wasn’t even planned 24 hours in advance. The price you pay to stay here is comparable to many other hotels that are MUCH nicer and well kept. We attempted to resolve at the property, but they said we had to go through hotels.com because that’s who we booked through. We called hotels.com and after speaking with several different customer service associates, they said it was up to the hotel whether or not they allow us to cancel and the request takes up to 72 hours to process. They refused to let me speak with upper management to try to expedite the process since we were discussing a hotel for the same night, not three days later. It wasn’t until the next day that the hotel declined our cancelation/refund request and we didn't even stay here. Save yourself the time, hassle, and money and stay somewhere worth it, as this place is not

The rooms were up to date and comfortable. Very clean and functional. The water pressure was good. The mattresses were comfortable but the pillows need to be fuller, they were extremely flat. The pool and Jacuzzi were great. It was too cold for the pool (not heated) temp was in the 40s but the hot tub was great!! Both clean and clear!! Would 100% recommend easy to get to and close to everything. Walking distance to outlets was a huge plus. The TV was not the most up to date but would recommend a firestick or roku since we couldn't sync our devices.

The room was nice and clean. We stayed on the end closest to the highway, so there was some road noise, but it didn’t bother us or keep us from sleeping. Light sleepers may want to request a room on the opposite side. The shuttle to the park was very convenient, and we used it both to and from the park. I enjoy coffee at all times, so I really appreciated the coffee pot and supplies provided in the room. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was clean. Check in was easy. Location was great. Just know if you use the shuttle to go/return from Universal, Clarion isn’t the only hotel being serviced. After a long day at the park, even though we were the closest hotel, we were the 2nd stop. And there was another left.

Very accommodating! Couple of small issues like the heater didn’t work and the toilets took forever to fill! Shower very slippery! However, called the front desk about heat and maintenance was there within minutes! Couldn’t fix it but the response was fast! Great location for outlet shopping! Nice sitting area! I arrived at 11:30 on two separate occasions as I changed hotels at one point and they allowed me to check in early! That superseded the few flaws!
