Clarion Inn & Suites Across From Universal Orlando Resort

Super clean rooms and bathrooms! I have stayed at most of the hotels across from Universal and this one has been the cleanest by far! Room doors open to the outside which gives it a motel feel - but very quiet all three nights we stayed and safe (located right behind a luxury apartment complex and medical center). As a single traveling woman with daughter I never felt uneasy. Good bar and cafe in front lobby open most hours of the day. 20 min easy walk to Universal. Price is the cheapest in the area and a good bargain for those that stay for the park.

I recently stayed at this hotel/motel during a volleyball tournament block and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. First, the location is extremely inconvenient. There is absolutely nothing within walking distance — no stores, no restaurants, no fast food options. With no food available at the hotel either (except the Indian restaurant) this made meals very difficult and added unnecessary stress to our stay. The room conditions were also very uncomfortable. The air felt strangely humid and sticky the entire time. Our clothes actually felt damp, and everything in the room had a wet, clammy feeling. It was difficult to relax or sleep comfortably in those conditions. Room service was non existent. Upper management nowhere to be found. The most frustrating part of our stay was t

We stayed at this property for four nights as part of a volleyball tournament booking, and it was an extremely disappointing experience. First, this is advertised as a hotel, but it is actually a motel, and we were charged nearly double the normal rate. During our entire stay, we never received clean towels or any room service. The room itself was dirty, and the door did not close properly, which felt unsafe. A major issue was the constant cooking smells — strong odors of roasted onions, garlic, and curry filled the hallways and entered our room, leaving all of our clothes smelling terrible. The pool area had no towels available, the pool was not heated, and there were no on-site dining options such as a restaurant or bar serving standard American food. The staff was unfriendly and unhel

Great service, but the building shows its age The staff here are wonderful—very professional and welcoming from check-in to check-out. I was also impressed by how clean the room was; the housekeeping team clearly does a great job. However, the property itself is definitely on the older side. You can see the wear and tear in the hallways and the room fixtures. If you don't mind a vintage feel, it's a solid stay, but it could definitely use a renovation.

Location, location, location!! It was perfect for our universal trip. Plus going to other places was easy as well. The front counter let us do early check in when we arrived, they were extremely friendly and helpful explaining all about the resturants and the Cafe located inside the lobby. Our room was very clean and fully stocked. The price was perfecr for our wallet. This is our new favorite hotel when staying in Orlando..
