FL Orlando Clarion Universal Sea World

[mikepa]

I won this for $43 a night 2/22 through 2/25. It's about 5 miles from SeaWorld. On the edge of dumpy for a 3 star/diamond hotel. There are no king or queen size beds available for the hotwire price - only two full size beds in each room. There is free internet access (my room had wireless access and ethernet connection.) If all you want is a room to sleep in at night this hotel should be OK, but it's certainly nothing fancy. There is no free breakfast - the buffet which is only fair is $7.95 per person. The 100% oranage juice has never seen an orange IMHO.

Walk to International Drive (1 block away ) plenty of resturant and shops. Take the International Drive Trolly at $1.00 a person, u can't beat this so why drive! This hotel charges a "2.50 service fee" per night that you pay when you check out. Enjoyed my stay,every thing was just fine.Staff was helpful and friendly. I really liked the location just across from Wet n Wild Water park with plenty of resturants with in walking Distance.

Stayed at Clarion recently and have these to share:

- Bid and won $30 a night around Thanksgiving time (plus tax)

- Hotel has small parking lot but no trouble find a spot, need to walk a bit.

- Has shuttle service to US, Seaworld

- Do not use the computer in room, charges $9.99 a night without any warning or notice. After I pointed it out, they said they can charge a flat fee of $9.99 for the entire stay, but I declined (have own laptop), they removed the charge. Just unplug and hook the ethernet cable to your laptop.

- Has 2 hot spas with different temps

- Small microwave and fridge in room

- Excellent location to US, wet n' wild, US feels almost walking distance (across highway 4)

- Do not stay here if you want to visit Disney, too far and food choice not as great as 192 (I recommend stay at 192 if visting Disney)

- Over all stay is pleasant.
