Clarion Inn & Suites across from Universal

Question

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

Answer

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.
