TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

Travelled here with my family for 2 weeks and felt let down with many parts of the Rosen Inn, Lake Buena Vista experience. Positives: Location is perfect. Only 20 minutes Max away from any of the parks and numerous restaurants within 10-15 minute walk. Swimming pool is large enough with ole Ty of beds. The addition of the splash pool was a positive for young children. Wi-Fi was free to connect and good enough to stream. Maids replaced bedding and towels each day. Negatives: Rooms: are not only dated but are not the cleanest, in particular the carpets. Ants were found in clothes and bed on one occasion. The hairdryer did not work in our room. On the first night we were placed pool side and the traffic noise from the highway was awful; kept us up all night. However, the hotel did accommodate and moved us to the much quieter, car park side for the rest of the trip. Food and drinks : EXPENSIVE. Both the bar and the shop prices are scandalous. The shop had a wide range of foods and drinks but we found it much cheaper walking to the 7/11 (20 mins away) instead. For example, a can of beer in the hotel was €7 compared to €2 for the same drink at the 7/11. Breakfast was nice with lots of options at a price of €15 each. Staff: Apart from the odd couple, staff were miserable, in particular the barman in the Comfort Zone. However, staff on the desk were extremely friendly and helpful. Transport: the selling point of a shuttle is not what it seems; we didn’t use it once. The bus only goes to certain parks at unaccommodating times. Instead, we opted for Uber’s to and from the park each day. Between the 8 of us this cost around €800 for the two weeks. TIPS: - Use the shops and restaurants around about - much cheaper. - Don’t count on bus transport - Ask for car park side of hotel (much quieter) - Use Uber eats for delivery to the hotel. - Vist V-PIZZA at the local retail shopping centre (5 minute walk). Some decent bars too. - Bring your own hairdryer. In conclusion, if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to a Disney holiday, then you get what you pay for at this hotel. For the added cost of around £1500, next time we will be staying at a Disney Resort. No cost of transport and food included. Probably works out around the same cost if you factor in what we have paid for Ubers to and from parks.

Our 5th visit to this lovely hotel. This time we chose the option to include breakfast and I have to say, it was amazing. Lots of choice, amazingly friendly staff, would happily do it again. The rooms are cleaned every day and the staff are always polite and friendly. Lots of eateries close by and not far from Disney and Disney Spring

We stayed here 2022 and for some reason the review never posted - overall was a really good experience and looking to go back next year. It is on the cheaper side compared to a lot of the florida and Disney hotels. The rooms were clean and tidy, bit outdated but you get what you pay for. The area is good as there is a few food places and bars just a walk up the road which we used often in the evening and these were enjoyable and easy to access. Was 2 pools which were both nice for a chill day away from the parks. There was also a water splash area for young children if you are bringing them with you which was always busy - they had a small shop in the hotel which we went too daily and was well stocked - also had a games room filled with different video games but we did not go in this - they did offer breakfast at a cost which always seemed busy but we did not do this so cannot review if this was good or not The transport service to the parks was good and helpful, was about a 10 min bus from Disney springs. The shuttle also went to universal parks and Hollywood studios Epcot etc but did not go to animal kingdom or magic kindom so had to get Ubers which were about 10 - 20 dollar depending when you are going ( we went in 2022) so these prices might have changed now! - the shuttles for the parks were quite early in the morning and usually busy if you made the bus. Wasn’t really much option with timings as these were not too flexible but they got us from A too B and we’re very handy- easy drop off and pick up. experience was good overall

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at if you're going with children please save your money rooms are dirty and on a evening all you can smell is marijuana, especially if having the air-conditioning on with is needed due to the heat there is also a lot of noise and hard to relax

Just returned from a 7 night stay at this lovely hotel, probably our 8th year of staying here. After a request, we were allocated our same room from last year and welcomed back by front desk which was lovely. Lovely clean room on the top floor of the 4000 block, nice view of epcot fireworks. Room was spacious, cleaned everday, ice cold aircon, great shower. We had the breakfast buffet each day, good vale at $35 for 2, huge selection of hot n cold, cereals, toast and of course Mickey waffles. Great reunion with our friend Gill. All the staff were happy, polite and efficient. The grounds are beautiful, the 2 pools are lovely, the smaller one good for the morning, the bigger for afternoon sun. Ideally situated, 10min drive to Disney Springs, 20mins to I-Drive, and easy 45mi s to Cocoa Beach. Only issue I-4 is always busy where the 528 joins. Only slight issue, I asked about late checked as we had an evening flight, lady on front desk initially said not possible, have to vacate by 12. Went back and asked a different member who got us 3pm checkout. So make sure you ask twice if you need it, and it is $56, which as I mentioned last review seems steep. But other than that, fantastic stay in a lovely, clean friendly hotel, thoroughly recommend.
