Some parts of the Clarion Hotel Universal look like they could do with some renovation the room doors and some of the decor looks slightly tired, and there was occasionally a slightly peculiar smell in some of the corridors  - but our room was clean, bright and comfortable, and overall it was great value for the price that we paid.

If you fancy a drink or something to eat in the hotel, you can visit Sharky Jack s Bar and Grill, on the ground floor. The food on offer in the evening is somewhat expensive compared to the i-Drive car rental turkey diners and restaurants, but it s excellent quality and the portion sizes are large. The best thing about Sharky Jack s, however, is the range of cocktails on offer. Each night we were there, there was a cocktail special available for $5 and they were delicious!
car rental turkey We tried breakfast there one morning, which was a buffet, and unfortunately it was slightly disappointing, but according to the staff, the hotel is changing to an a la carte breakfast menu in the near future, which may be better.
A few words of warning every day when we returned to our room, we were greeted by a heap of pizza delivery leaflets which had been put through the room door. Other guests told us that they had ordered from these and were all very ill the following day, and we have also since heard stories of people having their credit cards cloned by some of these companies. Don t, under any circumstances, order from them! The hotel offers room service and there are plenty of places nearby where you can eat, so there are much safer options available.
The Clarion s main selling point is its staff. Everyone from the receptionists to the security guards were helpful car rental turkey and chatty, and by the time we left we felt like they were old friends. Particular thanks go to the following people, who made our stay at the Clarion relaxed and memorable: Mindy, Mike, Kara and Erika at the bar; Chris the chef; and Tracey at reception.
