Overall i enjoyed my stay, but stuff like locking the guests only direct door into the lobby after a certain time, limiting them to a buzzer (most of the time nobody listens for) so you have to walk around the entire building to walk through the front most of the time. Quite silly, actually.

This a courtyard style property with several buildings, which I realized on this trip that I don’t feel as safe and comfortable in as a taller, closed in hotel. My building was right next to the highway and you could hear every single car and person walking by. It was just “ok”. If you are a budget travelers and you need a place to put your head down after a long day at the park, go for it. But if you have wiggle room in your budget, there are lots of nicer places. It IS super close and convenient to Universal and has a shuttle.

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.
