Not sure how it's 3 star
Not sure how this is a 3 star hotel. Felt more like a cheap motel. The reception area and little cafe were cute, and the landscaping was nice, but the rooms were not very clean. There was a weird smell, discoloration all over the bathroom sink, and exposed wires in the bathroom. Their idea of "updating" was spray painting the lamps and poorly repainting the walls in what looked like endless layers. One of the rooms keys they gave us didn't work. Should be a 2-star motel.

Less than mediocre experience
The people working at the hotel were friendly and accommodating.
The room was OK. There were a number of areas in the walls that were patched poorly. It almost looked like there had been water damage and some plaster and paint was put over it. And the caulk looked like it had been patched a number of times.
The smell when we entered the room was like a wet dog smell. When we went to bed, only one out of eight pillows didn’t have that smell. I slept without a pillow but when we called the next day they did bring two clean pillows and took the others out of the room.
One of the towels was not clean or it was stained.
Our room had a door to an adjoining room. Heard a fair amount of the conversation and noise next door. We were tired and they thankfully calmed down by 10 or 11 and we were able to get a decent nights sleep. The hotel really should do something to keep that noise down.
It seems to be a thing now but the alarm clock was flashing when we arrived. I thought housekeeping set them before guests arrived but maybe not any more.
I would suggest Clarion send an executive to stay and experience what it is like to stay in one of their hotels. It definitely needs to be renovated.

My son and I stayed here for an extended weekend. The room was super clean! It was relatively quiet and pretty close to Universal Orlando. The staff was friendly. I would stay here again!

Always a great experience at this Clarion.
Me and my family have been staying there since 2017. The employees are all ways happy and friendly and willing to help you. The rooms are all ways clean and smell very good. The lobby is very clean and great looking. They have a nice pool area. And it is only a 25min walk to universal.

The lady who checked us in was not very friendly but everyone else we encountered was. Room was very dark and hard to see in and it didnt seem very clean. There were marks the resembled human body fluids on the head board and the tissue box was nasty. There was a plant growing in the sink also. We could also hear the room next to us coughing all night which meant they could hear us as well. Our room was next to the interstate and you could hear the traffic noises all day and night. They did have shuttles to the park and that was nice. There was also a very nice restaurant and bar.

The exterior needs a lot of work, but the rooms inside were slight less of an eye sore. The beds felt fairly clean and the ac unit was working well.

Our room was right by the road it was very noisy. My husband opened the room door to go to the car and a young man was sitting next to our room door!
The parking lot -there were empty cups and bottles all over the ground and in front of the cars.
