Fantastic clarion inn is a good hotel, service shuttle to parks was te bes. Recommeded

The motel is close to disney, a variety of restaurants and a large outlet mall. Rooms are nice and clean. Staff is very polite and helpful. Their store near the lobby is open until 1 a.m. which helped. The pool closes at 10 which is difficult to make if you've been at disney all day, which is when you really would enjoy it! The pool open later would be a huge improvement. The buffet restaurant near the lobby is ok for the price, but drinks should be out so you can get your own. We ate there twice and were almost done with the meal before they finally brought drinks. Most of the food was OK for the price, but the pancakes were cardboard. Eat out if you can, many restaurants very close. The noise from I-4 is loud but could not be heard in the room and we were on the I-4 side.

The room was nice enough but kind of dingy, with little things wrong like burns in the bedspreads of non-smoking room, and blankets that looked like they could use a good wash. NO maid service AT ALL for our entire 4 day stay. Poor selection in the so called deli, and "price gouging" doesn't even begin to describe the inflated prices. Majority of staff didn't speak English as a first language, if at all, and front desk staff mostly consisted of people who acted annoyed that people wanted to check into their rooms. Shuttle times were random, and shared by so many hotels that trips were long and uncomfortably crowded. Nice pool with plenty of towels and quite a few chairs available, and plenty of ice on every other floor, within half a blocks walk from our room. Not terrible and might stay there again if the price was right, but nothing to write home about either.

Parks

Free WIFI worked great, good breakfast, close to town, nice hot tub and pool. The staff was very pleasent.

It was very centraly located. Very close to

We went to universal studios which the hotel provided free shuttles, but if they had more pick up times from the theme parks it would have been better. Although it wasn't too close to the attractions, it still had alot of restaurants and shopping nearby

These hotels in Orlando seem to change names a lot.Paid weeks in advance, I had informed late arrival, and ended up even later following delays and missed connections. Mears shuttle was great. Arrived at the Clarion Inn Lake Buena Vista, looks nice and great location 30min walk to Disney Village and why I booked here.At 8pm only to be told no room due to some problems, but they did have room for me at there other location. I was not alone here either, two families with children at the time I was there. The problem with this is that it is 8 miles from current location so having no vehicle and needing to be at the Disney Village 7am every day is not going to work. They feign concern but really from the attitude could not give a hoot but did organise a taxi to the new location. The problem with this is that firstly the taxi did not arrive for 2+ hours and then delivered us to the wrong hotel!! Finally arrived at the other location sometime around 11pm and found that the complimentary dinner offered by clarion was not available.One $30 taxi fare the next day got me to my destination only just as the hotel clocks had not been changed to daylight saving so I almost overslept, the operator call was on time.After speaking of my plight to the duty manager at the Hilton in Disney World they gave me a room for the remainder of my stay.[...]

Very nice facility close to Disney (but we were only staying overnight to catch early flight). Big problem at check in. Room was supposed to be prepaid but they insisted it was only a reservation and charged my c card at check-in. I verified when I got home that c card had been charged what was supposed to be the full cost when I booked, now I have to clear up the inconsistency.
