I Was there for a conference at one of the MASSIVE conference centers. It was a short almost mile walk to the conference. The staff was very helpful (most).

I Was there for a conference at one of the MASSIVE conference centers. It was a short almost mile walk to the conference. The staff was very helpful (most). The hotel is older but has been updated and was clean very nice, lots of amenities available on site. And if you want something a little different there is plenty that are a short walk away. If you are going to a conference this is a good hotel, if you are going to Universal this is probably a good location. I would not stay here for WDW, but we always stay on Disney property, just because you can't beat their hotels for the parks. Highly recommend Rosen and if we get to go back to this conference we will stay here again. Oh forgot no room service. - just a heads up, not a big deal, but just something that I thought was odd.

Such a shame because we really loved this hotel but don’t know if I would go back. Read less

Family of 3 stayed 9 nights in April 2025. Yes, this hotel in areas looks like it’s still in the early 90’s when it was built. But it is one of the cleanest hotels we have stayed in.

Family of 3 stayed 9 nights in April 2025. Yes, this hotel in areas looks like it’s still in the early 90’s when it was built. But it is one of the cleanest hotels we have stayed in. Credit to the whole team for the upkeep of the rooms and the hotel grounds. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room had what we needed and beds were very comfy. Bathroom was spotless. We had cleaners in every day and changed towels. Room was on the 12th floor and had no issue with noise that kept us up at night, even with the large groups of kids staying there. We didn’t use the pool as we were too busy at the parks. Breakfast had plenty to offer and we had 25% off each morning we eat there. Hotel in a good spot on international drive. We paid £75 a night and was great value for money! We would stay here again. Read less

It's been about 15 years or more since we last stayed here and I'm now wondering why it took us so long to go back. The Rosen experience didn't disappoint. The rooms had been updated since our last stay and were nice and clean and fully equipped. This is a conference centre hotel and there were conventions underway during our stay - none of which hampered or interfered in any way with our enjoyment of staying here. All the staff were attentive and helpful, especially at Cafe Matisse where we ate breakfast daily. The buffet breakfast was simple but delicious. Endless crispy bacon done the way we like, scrambled eggs, yoghurts, omelets made to order, fresh fruit, waffles, pancakes ... what more do you need? The food was all tasty, plentiful, and great value for money. One of the hotel's strongest selling points is its prime location on International Drive. All the tourist attractions and restaurants on I-Drive are within minutes on foot. No need to drive anywhere, especially for dining (and drinking) in the evening. It was nice to see that the parking was all free (for self-parking), with no resort fee added to the bill at the end of our stay. Overall, I recommend the Rosen Plaza on the breakfast buffet inclusive package. Read less
