Discover What Past Guests Have To Say About Our Orlando Resort

Enough talking about ourselves. While we consider ourselves one of the best family resorts in Orlando, it only matters if our guests agree. If you’re planning a visit to Rosen Inn on Orlando’s International Drive, we invite you to see us through the eyes of your fellow travelers by reading the hotel reviews below.

Another great Rosen hotel. It’s closest to Universal and has three shuttles in the morning and three return shuttles in the afternoon and evening. The room was immaculate, with a comfortable king-sized bed, small loveseat, desk, and chair. Big TV. USB ports in the lamp. Tiny bathroom with bathtub and sink in foyer. More than enough towels. Balcony doors are sealed, and our 9th-floor view had a sunrise and lights from rides at night. There is a pool, but we came to go to Universal. There is a 24-hour store near the lobby with hundreds of snacks and microwave meals, as well as resort ware and souvenirs. There is also a sushi/hibachi restaurant, a small arcade, and a fitness room. All the staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast is a paid buffet.

Stayed here for two weeks, and the hotel was good for what I needed it for. Needed a place to lay my head after a long day around the parks and to freshen up before going for a meal in the evening. You have a restaurant there, which was OK. Shop for your needs. Staff was friendly and really willing to help whenever I needed it. Parking was easy as we got a car for the holiday. Bar was great and had a good vibe.

Myself and my daughter have just returned from a week’s stay at Rosen Inn Closest to Universal. We had a very pleasant stay. The beds are comfortable, there is a daily housekeeping service, and the place is clean. The hallways on floor 5 (possibly other floors too) need a lick of paint, but that’s the only negative I have. The shop in reception is very handy for late night snacks/drinks. The pool is OK; nothing spectacular but clean and a good size. It’s bigger than it appears in photos. The location is spot on! If you miss the shuttle to Universal, then it’s just a short, cheap taxi ride. It’s also close to SeaWorld (again, short journey in a taxi/Uber). There is an ATM on-site too. It’s also quiet at night; we slept well and woke up refreshed and ready to hit the parks.

We’ve been coming to Florida for the last 10 years and have always stayed at Universal properties. We booked this 7-day trip 2 months prior to our visit and decided to take a chance on the Rosen Inn at Universal. What can I say, this hotel was a perfect fit for our trip. Check-in was really easy. Yes the decor is dated, but it was very clean and our rooms were serviced every day. The room has everything you need, coffee maker, iron, microwave, fridge, TV, hairdryer and 2 very comfy beds, so comfy in fact it’s one of the comfiest beds we’ve ever slept in. The bathroom was really nice, good pressure from the shower. I’d highly recommend you stay here if you’re on a budget, it has all the amenities you need and being on International Drive you have easy access to shops, restaurants and more.

I am so impressed with this modestly priced hotel. Some of my family stayed at a Universal resort and this is about a 10-15 min walk from it. This was great because they needed help with the kids and if you even drive through the Universal parking lot, you have to pay a small fortune for parking fee. This hotel is actually walking distance to pretty much anything you’d need. The decor is a bit dated but I feel that the good service and the clean, functional rooms at this hotel have more impact than the latest decor. There are plenty of electrical outlets, shower water was nice and hot and water pressure was great. They have a mini fridge and microwave. They have a coffee maker but it uses those tiny little coffee pods, so if you're a coffee nut like me, plan accordingly. The front gate attendant is so pleasant and efficient. I felt welcomed and safe. Check-in was a breeze. I will for sure stay here again if I'm looking for a fair priced hotel with everything I need. I would say that this hotel offers the best overall value in the area.

The staff was friendly. My family and I stayed here while going to Universal Studios. The pool and patio area were very comfortable. The room was clean and served its purpose. There are plenty of restaurants and activities as it is close to International Drive. Also, with Universal Epic opening nearby, this is a great hotel to stay at.
