Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista

Lake Buena Vista, Orlando

Star rating

The hotel

We think the Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista offers excellent value as well as being so close to Disney. In the 23 acres of landscaped grounds is a lake which is home to a variety of Floridian bird life. You will find all the great family amenities in your room, just beware you may just get too comfortable! There are some great deals in the family restaurant here, and a free shuttle bus will take you to the four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks. Disney springs is very close too — with a fantastic array of restaurants, bars and shops there.

We are just preparing to leave after staying for 2 weeks. The review is mixed really as the hotel itself you can split into two parts The outdoor is very well presented and kept and creates a nice feel on entrance to the premises and as you walk around it.

We are just preparing to leave after staying for 2 weeks. The review is mixed really as the hotel itself you can split into two parts The outdoor is very well presented and kept and creates a nice feel on entrance to the premises and as you walk around it. We stayed in a two bed room as a family of 4 and unfortunately they are very small and basic. After spending full days out at theme parks you want to have chance to relax and put your feet up but with limited storage space and space in the room everything felt close and cluttered. The air-conditioning units are also very loud and kept me up during the night There also isn't any balcony space to dry clothing and thankfully there wasn't that many people on the same row as ours as there was no noise protection from people walking past right next to our window. Staff wise the ladies who worked the breakfast shift were lovely and always helpful offering to get drinks and always talking to guests. I found the front of staff quite rude however and had a difficult experience whilst trying to recover a lost device on our final evening which was in the lost and found. I found they were doing their best not to go and check something was there and seemed more interested in interrogating me on the device All in all the hotel didn't ruin the holiday experience as it wasn't about the hotel. It is what it is, a reasonably priced place for 2 weeks and meant we had more disposable money for the theme parks Read less

This was our third visit and it was a huge disappointment. Asked for quiet room, got put next to loading bay with lorries delivering from 2am. Air con unit was filthy and we both caught colds from the muck spilling out. Bedding wasn't changed once, we went to reception to complain and housekeeping lied that they had visited on the monday. Vent in the bathroom just recycled air from other rooms, so it stank of weed all night. We also complained twice about this. Bins weren't emptied. Just a dirty hotel. Breakfast was okay. Read less

We stayed here during our trip to Florida in July 2025 and we will be coming back for sure. Room on the second floor, rooms are basic and pretty worn, but also the price was not too expensive. Nice and cold inside with the AC despite the crazy humid heat outside! Lots of noise from the highway outside but the AC covered most of the sound with its buzzing fan. Room gets 4/5 Nice and clean room, it got cleaned every day and our beds were made aswell as sheets changed. Bathroom was also very basic, worn but not too bad, toilet and shower was cleaned every day and we got new towels, toilet paper and soap aswell. Cleaning 4/5 Pool and outside areas were amazing! We liked the gated pool area alot, we didnt think we were gonna spend so much time there, but we did, absolutely amazing, fresh new towels for you to use every time you walked in. Nice patio outside of the main building with a nice view of a little lake with a fountain, banana plantation and also lots of wildlife, from there we managed to see all kinds of birds, squirells, otterd, tiny lizards and also a little racoon, it doesnt feel like youre in the middle of a big city really. Really amazing, coming from cold dark Scandinavia not being used to the "exotic" feel. 5/5 Staff was friendly and helpful, the shop has everything you need, its pretty expensive but everyones friendly and helpful and its got a very relaxed feeling The shop offers lunch for like 10$ wich was actually really good. 5/5 We never tried the bbq restaurant but we loved the breakfast buffet! Solid 5/5 The shuttle bus to the parks was a really bumpy ride, being from europe and used to high-end modern buses, this was like an airplane during rough turbulence, we had to hold on to not fly off our seats, and the bus schedule wasnt updated on the sheet we found in our room so we missed the bus once, but other than that, it worked fine, seat belts or calmer drivers wouldnt hurt though. 2/5 Overall i want to say 5/5, we loved this place and it felt like home after a while, we miss it all and cant wait to come back some day!! Special thanks to the people working day and night in the shop, and the ladies working as staff during breakfast, always friendly! Read less
