After reading the reviews on this site, I was pretty skeptical about staying in this hotel. I must say that we had a very pleasant stay. The beds were comfortable, room was clean (bath tub could've been in better shape)and the service was great (check in and check out were a breeze). Housekeeping made up our room and replenished our... more

Arrived here after 2 nights in Miami. Spent 10 days at the Clarion. Check in was fine, paid $3.50 daily fee for internet, parking etc. Got a smoking room which we asked for....you could tell! The corridor had ash trays in and smelt of smoke....why bother with these if the rooms are smoking? Got a corner room with views towards... more

You get what you pay for. The staff was exceptional and helpfull and the hotel nice but the room was not the best. There was soap scum scales in the bathtub and mold around the bathroom. When I was booking in someone came down to mention that their whole tap thing had fallen off the wall. It is ok for... more

My girlfriend and I were able to secure a room via Priceline for a week's stay in mid-July. Overall our experience was fine for a hotel that we were basically just sleeping in (we only had our room made up twice during our stay) and parking our car in. A few things to point out: - Yes, we were Priceline... more

We were transferred to this hotel by our tour operator after being burgled in another hotel. From the minute we walked in the door we were treated so well by all staff. We were able to check in early, the rooms were immaculate and no request was too much trouble for the fantastic staff. In particular Shannon at front desk... more

We have just returned from two weeks at the Clarion. Unlike some guests we had no trouble parking and there were always loads of parking bays all around the hotel, it was never actually full, I can only presume they wanted to be parked near the front door. The hotel itself was nice a bit dated but work is obviously... more

I was anticipating a good reception upon reading the reviews regarding this hotel and from the moment we stepped through the hotel doors, I was not disappointed! Very nice open, cool and relaxed lobby, extremely helpful staff and very tidy and large room. We arrived in the evening late on so did not know the exact location of the hotel... more

We so have returned from our holiday from which we stayed in this hotel for 14 nights. I was a bit weary at first but everything turned out great. To be quick i will name good things and bad things. Good Things: Very Close to International Drive, litterally 3 min walk to walgreens opposite Wet and Wild. Quiet location away... more
