Clarion Inn & Suites across from Universal

Hello, we are looking to stay at the Clarion hotel in March next year. I am struggling to find out what breakfast they provide as we want to have a full breakfast before we go to the parks. I've looked on their website but they only say they have a coffee shop which sells some breakfast items. I've emailed them but no reply. Has anybody stayed there and if so do they have a breakfast buffet or just breakfast items for sale and if so, is it just pastries or a proper breakfast. A menu would be really helpful if possibly.

Thanks Jimmy

The Clarion Inn & Suites located across from Universal Orlando is primarily a value-oriented hotel, and their breakfast offering is designed to be convenient but not a full hot breakfast buffet. Based on recent guest experiences, the hotel does not provide a traditional complimentary breakfast buffet with cooked-to-order items like eggs, bacon, or pancakes. Instead, the “breakfast” is available through their on-site coffee shop or lobby café, where you can purchase items individually.

Typical breakfast offerings at the Clarion Inn & Suites include:

  • Pastries such as muffins, croissants, and danishes.
  • Bagels with cream cheese or spreads.
  • Pre-packaged breakfast items like cereal, granola bars, or yogurt cups.
  • Hot and cold beverages including coffee, tea, and juice.

Some guests have noted that occasionally the hotel provides a continental-style breakfast with coffee, pastries, and fruit included, but this is limited and may vary depending on occupancy and season. It is not equivalent to a “full breakfast” that would sustain a long day at the theme parks.

If you are looking for a proper full breakfast before heading to Universal, consider the following alternatives:

  • Walk or drive to nearby diners or breakfast restaurants in the International Drive area, which are just a few minutes away and offer full cooked breakfasts with eggs, bacon, pancakes, and more.
  • Check if the hotel allows you to bring in takeaway breakfast items or pick up food from nearby cafés early in the morning.
  • Consider booking a different hotel nearby that advertises a full hot breakfast buffet if having a substantial morning meal on-site is important.

In summary, the Clarion Inn & Suites does not offer a full complimentary breakfast buffet. The on-site options are more limited to coffee shop items and light pastries, so plan accordingly if you want a hearty breakfast before your day at Universal.
