Our take
I would choose the Rosen Inn for families who value convenience over resort frills on an Orlando theme park trip. The free shuttle to Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando removes the parking question, and the family suites give children and parents some room. A 24-hour front desk that sells park tickets and an on-site arcade add to the practicality. The pool is a standard outdoor one, so families wanting a water park on the doorstep should look elsewhere.
- ✓Book your theme park tickets at the 24-hour front desk to save time and potentially secure better rates for your slides-packed days.
- ✓Plan your shuttle times to Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando in advance to maximize your time at the parks.
- ✓Consider booking family suites early, especially during school holidays, as these popular options tend to fill up quickly for peak season.
- ✓Bring your own snacks and drinks for the room, as the microwave and refrigerator in each guest room are perfect for quick meals.
