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 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

A Rare Light in Hospitality – Thank You, Jill Osbourne During my recent stay at Rosen Inn and Resort, I had the pleasure of encountering a truly remarkable individual—Jill Osbourne from the breakfast department. In a world where genuine conversation and care often feel like a rarity, Jill shined with sincerity, warmth, and faith. After she noticed my tattoo of the cross, Jill took a moment from her busy morning to share her personal testimony of how God had made a way for her. Her story was not only moving, but also uplifting, reminding me that God's grace reaches us even in the most unexpected places—like a breakfast room in a hotel. What touched me further was how Jill seamlessly connected her faith to her pride in the company she works for. She spoke about the history of Rosen Inn and Resorts and their core values—how they don’t just talk about integrity and care, but live it out. According to Jill, the leadership of Rosen genuinely prioritizes both their staff and guests over profit, refusing to gouge customers with unnecessary charges. That kind of humility and ethics in business is not just refreshing—it's rare. "Quality over quantity" is more than just a motto here. It's a lived-out truth, visible from the top down, and Jill is a perfect example of that. In an age where excellence is often replaced by efficiency and authenticity gets buried under sales pitches, it was a blessing to meet someone who is not only professional and kind—but truly an ambassador of grace. Jill Osbourne is a treasure to the Rosen team. She made my visit memorable in all the best ways, and for that, I am sincerely grateful. Read less

We was a bit wary coming here due to some of the reviews we seen. However, the rooms were really clean and the grounds were nice and well maintained. The hotel itself had a very family friendly feel. Rooms were nice and fresh after cleaners had been and could smell their cleaning stuff in the bathroom etc. Sheets were clean, bathroom was clean. Towels and coffee pods were replaced daily. Pool was enjoyable and clean all around, kids enjoyed the splash pad too. Hotel felt safe and seen security checking the area. Plenty of car park spaces and good location for everything. Only negative which is no fault of the hotel is that the air conditioner in the room had dried chewing gum in from previous guest. Also on the last day we did smell a strong smell of cannabis when out in the hallway leaving. As we were leaving we didnt mention anything to the staff but of course if we were staying then we would have addressed this. After our stay we have booked again for end of August / September so hope we have the same great stay we had this time. Read less

Jul 25, 2025 Marilyn L

The shuttle bus service is really poorly only 1 bus back at 10:15pm from Epcot You can’t go to other parks for the fire works otherwise you miss this bus The hotel is fine but you need uber and taxi it by night so spending at least £50/60 pounds a day on Ubers alone

We’ve stayed at several of the Rosen locations and really loved how centralized this location is! Huge parking lot with plenty of parking, guarded entrance, splash pad for kids and great pool. We enjoyed our stay over the 4th of July weekend and will be considering this location again. The only downside is we did encounter two German roaches in our hotel room. We are hoping pest control is used as those lead to infestations! Read less
