Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando

I wasn't expecting a motel looking like hotel.

Prós: Place location is great you are closed to everything on short distance. Place not clean, motel looking like. Worse was when it rain inside the room got wet from the rain crazy. Next time I will rather pay little bit more and stay at a better place.

It's normal hotel

Prós: I like location

Contras: I didn't like the parking

Prós: the price!

Contras: the room had a horrible smell, old towels, tray with coffee service was wet and I could not use the glasses. I struggled to open the door, the lock was in trouble.

Great location but terrible otherwise

Prós: Great location for conferences, shopping and dining on International. Easy to walk to many places. 20-30 minute drive to Disney parks, unless there's bad traffic which there often is in Orlando, then can take over an hour.

Contras: No comforter/quilt on the bed, just a sheet and a thin blanket. Walls and doors are very thin and doors lead to outside so it's very loud at all times, especially with the helicopter tour company across the street. Constant helicopter choppers whirring, car horns honking, kids running, drunk people shouting, etc. I put a "do not disturb" sign on my door for the whole weekend but someone removed it on the morning of check out and I was woken up at 8 a.m. by someone wanting to clean my room. I can't imagine why someone would have stolen that sign off my door during the night (it was there late the night before and had been there all weekend), so I'm pretty sure the cleaning team removed it on purpose to have an excuse to wake me up and get me out of there early. Check in is VERY late at 4:30 p.m. and check out is on the early side at 11 a.m. They want you in and out! Security is a joke for safety but is extremely inconvenient for guests. You can't have cabs or friends pick you up or drop you off in front of your room. You can't have food delivered to your room so I had to walk all the way to the front lobby (a long walk outside) in pajamas in the rain while in the middle of watching a movie to pick up my pizza (which I then had to carry back to my room in the rain). You have to park twice when you check in because of security and when you leave it's nearly impossible to drive back to the lobby to check out for the same reason. This might all be ok if it actually felt remotely safe but of course it isn't at all. The security gate is often just propped open and almost every time I walked past, the security guard was reading or watching TV on his phone or on a smoke break. Not to mention the fact that there's a walking path that leads directly to the rooms from International Drive without passing the security station. The bathroom is so tiny that the door almost scrapes against the toilet bowl when you open the door. It's very difficult to climb in and out of the bathroom (yes, I said climb). The beds and pillows are extremely uncomfortable so I spent the weekend with a sore lower back and stiff neck. The doors to the hotel rooms stick and are incredibly difficult to open. It was an ordeal every time I came in and out of the room. The a/c has only one setting - arctic circle cold. If you try to raise the temp to 74 or so, the heat kicks in. Did I mention it was 100F outside? This is summer in Florida. I would have loved the arctic chill if there was anything more to over me than a thin sheet and tiny blanket. Overall, the location is convenient if you want to be on International Drive and the price is reasonable but it's not worth it for the (lack of) quality unless you are really, really strapped for cash (and then you're going to have trouble enjoying Orlando).
