Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista

Lake Buena Vista, Orlando

Virgin 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.

Nice location- close to Disney Parks and many restaurants. Did offer shuttle services to parks but odd hours- we didn't use the service due to this. Nice back patio seating area overlooking the pond. Decent pool- site says 2 pools but we only saw 1. Very outdated rooms. Shower rod was broke and some outlets didn't work. Great price- you get… Read more

Other than the hotel being dated, you can’t go wrong here. i was able to book a room at the AARP RATE OF $67٫49 per nite, and enjoyed a very large, very clean room. Great location with plenty of (free) parking for hotel guests. All the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful during my stay. Free internet also worked great as well as the free… Read more

Great location with plenty of (free) parking for hotel guests. All the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful during my stay. Free internet also worked great as well as the free computers & printer in the lobby. A real great value for the Lake buena Vista/Orlando area. Plenty of restaurants, and everything else you could ever need within a short drive, including Disney. I would definitely stay here again without any hesitation. Overall Rating ~ Very Good. Read less

Arrived on a late-ish flight & wanted to stay relatively near to MCO before driving on to Tampa the following day. Booked this through Trivago & got a pretty good last minute deal £105 for a “deluxe” room at a busy/expensive time of the year Positives - this’ll be quick! Good location right by Vineland Outlets & a very comfy bed Negatives - dated & scruffy buildings, reminded us of a homeless shelter with lots of dubious looking characters lurking in stairwells. Couldn’t have the curtains open as all rooms look directly onto the walkway. Lots of noisy, screeching, anti social residents all night! Room was dingy & depressing. Toilet didn’t flush properly & ceiling light flickered annoyingly. Water pressure in shower poor & bathroom was nasty. Ancient a/c unit that sounded like a tank rattling through the room all night. We wondered if we’d survive the night in such surroundings & pushed our cases against the door for added security. Got up at 0700 to escape as soon as we could! Never again Read less

Very nice location, big room and very clean, small beds in 1000 bldg on 4th floor. Nice grounds they have security at front gate and around the property. Nice restaurant on grounds with reasonable prices and a nice little store for last minute snacks and things.
