Clarion Lake Buena Vista

[starwood]

I'm trying to book the Clarion for 1 night before our DVC stay in March. I got an Orlando Magicard rate of $59.99. I can't seem to get the reservation to go through. In looking at the website there is a discount rate called Blue man Group for 20% off (bringing the rate to $55.99). I can't find any information on what this rate entails. Does anyone know?

I called and asked the reservation agent about the blueman code and he didn't know anything about it but he said there was another rate for $55.95 that didn't require a code so I booked that one.

Bookit.com had this hotel today from $45 a night. I stayed there in November and was impressed with the hotel for the price! Quite frankly you can't beat it & I'm pretty picky!

I also just booked with Clarion through bookit site over Easter. Got 4/nights arriving 4/23 for a total of $184.72. Got a $5 rebate per night and applied $10 off coupon code which they doubled. Got room essentially for $40/night with added perks of 2 free drinks and BOGO breakfast and dinner.

If you're interested you have to book this by 11:59pm eastern tonight.

Just back and I was not impressed with the Clarion at all. They told me on the phone they are newly renovated. The room wasn't bad but the night lock was broken off in our room. We pre-checked in around 12:30. We were told check in was at 4 but the room may be ready earlier. We went back around 2:45 (I know it was early) just to see if the room was ready. They called housekeeping and were waiting for a call back. I stood at the front desk for 25 minutes - still no reply from housekeeping. We said we would sit outside and they said they would tell us when they heard back. 15 minutes later DH went inside and was told the room was ready. No one bothered to come tell us. We were also told that because we got a discounted rate ($55/night) that DH couldn't get Choice points and we didn't get free breakfast.

Definitely will not stay there again.

Were the beds comfy? Was it double beds or queens? Did you use the pool area at all?
