Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando

Beds made every day (even though I did it, my hospital corners clearly weren't right 🤣) and the towels changed. Walgreens across the road, perfect for any odds and ends you've forgotten/need! There's also Subway and Dominios, as well as Millers Ale House. A five minute walk away is Icon Park, and restaurants such as Bahama Breeze (LOVE!) and Senor Frogs (AWFUL 🤢) I-ride stop is 18. Room initially looks clean, but it was quite dusty in places, particularly the lamp/back of the bedside table We were in 1227, so facing the I4 - the noise isn't bad, it's not disturbed any of us, although I imagine if you're a super light sleeper you may find the background "hum" annoying. The laundry room is absolute carnage in the evening! I managed to get a wash on, and then into a dryer. (And if the person who removed my wet washing from the dryer should read this, I hope the dryer shrunk your knickers!! 😡🤣) I would recommend getting up super early (I'm talking 5.30/6am and doing it. Wash takes 30min, dryer takes 1 hour). The token system is a joke, especially when 2 of the machines broke amd the reception desk couldn't refund them (I believe it's an outside company who run the machines). I would recommend taking a colour catcher so you can bung everything into one wash! This ain't the place to be separating your lights and darks! 🤣 Buses to Universal? How anyone manages to book these is beyond us! We were passing at 6.50am and my husband noticed the guy sat there so asked I'd he could book in for the following day. The guy got so angry at him for asking before 7am, and the fact we wanted 10seats baffled him, he asked how my husband expected him to sort this when they had 2 other hotels to serve, and the 1st bus was already full so he couldn't book the last few places for us!! I had to walk away 😳😡🤣 I'd like to know how the first bus was already booked when you can't make a booking before 7am?! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 We used Lyft the whole time, and would recommend! Checkout - it's 11am. We asked for late checkout as our airport transfer wasn't until 2.30pm (flight is at 6pm). Its $50 per room. We decided we'd split the cost and bung all suitcases in one room so we could have a morning at a park. We were told by reception to come down and request on the day of checkout at 7am, which my brother in law did, only to be told there weren't any late checkouts available today, and we needed to be out by 11. We asked about a luggage store, but were told there wasn't one, so before 3 hours at the airport, we now have 3 hours just sat at the hotel! 🙄😡 (we've since been told by others there is one, located next to reception). Pools were clean, plenty of towels. There is the Lite Bite shop, which is great for snacks etc, although is more expensive, so you may prefer to pop across to Walgreens! There's also a gift shop which has a Starbucks counter - perfect for those early starts! We had the hotel breakfast a couple of days and it's perfectly fine, all up can eat! We didn't go for the evening, but what we saw looked good. Restaurant staff were lovely! It's not the worst hotel I've stayed at, so if you're coming here, don't worry (it's budget, dont expect The Ritz!) Are there better hotels out there? Sure! But as a base to shower/sleep this was fine! Read less

Always stay at this hotel as it’s in a very central location between Disney and universal studios, provides a shuttle to universal but you have to book. Staff in the restaurant are lovely and loads of food to select from. Rooms are comfy and contain a mini fridge, coffee maker and hair dryer which is handy plenty of pool space as there are 3 to choose from. Actually stayed here April 2024 but doesn’t go back that far Read less

Great VALUE - SAFE/CLEAN We only stayed one night, but the location is great, a lot of walkable activities and restaurants. There is a small convience store on site, also a bar and resturant. Washer and Dryers on floor 4 of every bldg. Huge complex great for large groups with buses. Plenty of FREE parking. Security patrols the complex. Beautiful setting. This hotel is established but the necessary upgrades have been made. We would stay here again. Read less

Another great stay! Check in was smooth and staff very nice. Was given a room on the ground floor, pool facing in block B. Room clean and as described on booking. Towels, coffee machine, fridge and microwave provided in room. Room was cleaned daily and towels replaced. Some wear and tear of the carpet but nothing that spoilt the holiday. Could hear noise from the pool area as expected but this didnt cause any issue, as staff cleared the pools by 2200. Pool area was clean and well maintained, and pool towels provided. We had breakfast included for our 7 day stay. Served from 0630-1030 everyday, there was a good selection of food on offer and juice and coffee available. Saved a small fortune on eating else where at breakfast. We also had some food from Lite bites one evening as we were tired. The pizza was good, and kids said burgers were good too. Transport to universal requires booking the day before foe the earliest shuttle could sometime get on the later bus. We decided to uber there most mornings at around $6. Local area has loads of food options within a few min walk, and there is a CVS and Walgreen a short walk away. Would be definitely stay again. Read less

This is a reasonably priced hotel in an excellent location on International Drive within walking distance of several restaurants and entertainment venues and a short drive to Universal and Sea World. Ths is a very large property with several buildings and plenty of free parking (which is a plus.) The staff is quite friendly. However, the hotel feels dated. The rooms, while spacious, need upgrading with respect to furniture and layout. While the lobby/checkin area is quite nice, the other common areas and elevator make you feel like you are in a cheap motel. Ths is a very large property with several buildings and plenty of free parking. While the beds were comfortable, the bathroom area needed better cleaning/upgrading, especially the showevr curtain. We were in the buidling adjacent to the lobby which was right by the pool, restaurant, coffe shop and convenience store (which has also has coffee and snacks). If you find the convenience store prices a little high, don't fret as there is a CVS right next door. I noticed, however, that there are several buildings and some a significant walk away from the lobby. Overall, and average stay with a great location Read less
