Positive Reviews
positive:
Excellent Location
The hotel is located right on International Drive. Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, Wet 'n Wild and the Orange County Convention Center are all within a five minute drive, and numerous restaurants and shops offer abundant choices for families.
positive:
Good Breakfast Buffet
Guests suggest that the breakfast buffet served in the Palms Dining Room is an excellent way to start the day. You should find the buffet to have a good selection of different items and to offer excellent value for money compared to other options in the area.
positive:
Clean and Functional
The Rosen Inn is an affordable, no-frills option, but the hotel is certainly clean and pleasant. As many guests mention, you will likely be spending more time taking in the area attractions than enjoying the hotel's amenities, and the Rosen Inn serves as an excellent home base for your trip.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Dated Décor
The hotel's prime attraction is its location, not its aesthetics. Many guests mention that the hotel looks rather dull and in need of an update, so this may be an issue if you plan to spend a great deal of time hanging out in your room.
negative:
Transportation to Disney is Expensive
The hotel provides complimentary transportation to major attractions near International Drive. However, there is a fee per person to travel to Disney World or the Orlando Airport. Many guests suggest that it is much cheaper and easier to take the city bus or call a taxi.
negative:
Staff Not Exceptionally Helpful
The hotel staff are not exceptionally knowledgeable when it comes to information about area attractions or directions. If you have questions, you may have to turn to Google rather than relying on help from hotel employees.
