“Good Budget Friendly Option”

I have read some of the reviews on here and felt they were a little unjust. You simply cannot expect a luxury resort for the price tag - it is completely unrealistic. What you do get, however, is a comfortable hotel set in pleasant grounds close to both the Disney Parks and Universal for a very reasonable price. Admittedly, the bedrooms may not be the most modern but the beds are comfortable and we appreciated the inclusion of a decent sized fridge and a microwave which proved to be invaluable for grabbing a quick breakfast before a busy day at the parks. We did, however, plan ahead and bring a travel kettle as we noted that the room provides a coffee machine in lieu of a kettle and we mainly drink tea. The communal areas of the hotel are well maintained and the fountains in the ponds look lovely. We enjoyed a down day by the hotel pool and many evenings on the boardwalk decking with a drink. The little shop in reception was quite useful for the odd drink/snack here and there but it is quite expensive and there are no prices listed on anything. We did not eat at the hotel during our stay, however, we did enjoy a few drinks in the bar and would like to give a massive shout out to the lovely barman Raymond who is a real credit to the hotel - always going the extra mile despite being rushed off his feet!! The hotel shuttle service was a little patchy and not always at the most ideal times (definitely check that the schedule works for you) so we relied on a combination of the shuttle and uber/lyft. Overall it was a comfortable stay and a solid budget friendly option- we would stay again.

“Comfortable, Welcoming and Perfect for Families ”

As a base for families or groups who are visiting Disney or Universal theme parks or the many other attractions in Central Florida, I would say this place is ideal. We stayed for 12 nights on a family holiday and enjoyed our time here. Excellent pool facilities, nice restaurant and bar area, ample parking. All the staff we encountered were so friendly and helpful. They really are a credit to the hotel!!! Rooms, though a little old fashioned decor wise, were clean and very comfortable (especially the beds). Our 2 girls really didn't want to leave!. Minor issues were the noise from our A/C unit and the main road but that really didn't impact us too much as after a day in the parks, beaches or KSC in the glorious Florida sun, sleeping at night was not an issue! 😄 We would definitely recommend the Rosen Inn and I hope that one day soon we will return for another stay

“Fair price for fair amenities”

Rooms are basic but clean. Aircon works very well. Food on offer is a Buffett and was a little over priced, however the position of the hotel is great, although the hotel bus service was not (only two Disney parks service and a single pickup time too and from).

Food on offer is a Buffett and was a little over priced, however the position of the hotel is great, although the hotel bus service was not (only two Disney parks service and a single pickup time too and from). Comfort Zone has The Best Barman in Orlando. Raymon you were a joy!! Great service and company.

“Disappointing, noisey and in need of a complete revamp”

We had an 11 night stay here over the Easter break. We travelled from Ireland and spent thousands of Euros to come here and have a “Dream Holiday” with our young family.

We had an 11 night stay here over the Easter break. We travelled from Ireland and spent thousands of Euros to come here and have a “Dream Holiday” with our young family. I will start with the positives about this hotel. The location was amazing. So near shops and restaurants and 15 minute drive to the parks. So if you didn’t have a car you have restaurants in walking distance. The rooms where cleaned daily, you always came home to a made bed and fresh towels. The guy Raymon in the bar was so lovely, I was waiting quite a long time on a pizza to take away up to the room and he came over and spoke to me and my son and was a lovely lovely guy. My children enjoyed the one pool that was opened. Unfortunately that is we’re the positives end for me. The first room we were given the night we arrived was situated basically at arms reach of the I-4 and the noise all night of cars revving and beeping was unbearable. I asked to be changed the next morning which completely ruined the first day because I had to wait until 2pm to be given a new room, after being promised one for 11am and packing up all our stuff and leaving the cases at reception, so the first day was gone waiting around for the room. The second room was even worse. We were given a room at the end of block 2000 facing the car park and right next to the bars and restaurants and the bar Kitty O’Shes bleared music until 2am for every single night of our stay!! So after a long day at the parks and early wake ups to make the most of the day it was not ideal and I have to say completely put a dampener on the holiday I paid too much money for, to enjoy as I was so tired and irritable from the lack of sleep. Look the rooms are not great. But I knew that from looking at photos. They are out dated and smelly and the beds are TINY!!!! But the room is the room and thankfully you don’t spend much time in them. But if you are looking for luxury..this is not your place There is security at the main entrance that check cars and people coming in to make sure they are staying at the hotel and that is great. But this hotel is more of a budget motel and you get all walks of life staying here. One night there was young guys in the car park revving their car around doing donuts and blaring music at 12am and the security did absolutely nothing. I don’t think I was as prepared for it not to be a hotel full of families enjoying Disney… I seen some questionable characters stay here. Also we left my husbands prescription sunglasses in the first room when we were packing up to be moved and they were taken.. I can’t say for sure by an employee or a guest so I can’t point fingers. Also If you are looking for true reviews, please don’t look at the Facebook Fan page. That is run by complete weirdos that delete all the negative comments and attack you for saying anything bad about the hotel and give people a completely wrong perspective of what the hotel is like. I too was led astray. Would I stay here again? No! Would I recommend it? No!
