Find hotels in International Drive North - Universal

The staff was friendly; however, it is not mentioned anywhere that we have to pay $9 per night extra fees for the pool, breakfast and shuttle. Moreover, the shuttle is not convenient as we arrive to the attractions very late while it stops very early. We had to leave universal studios early one hour early while we arrived at 11:00am in the morning. Furthermore, for Disney we arrived at 9:00am and the last shuttle was at 9:15pm while the firework show starts at 10pm, so we had to pay for an Uber around $22. The hallway was not clean, and there was water all the time which did not dry at anytime. They oblige you to sign a paper before check in says that they are not responsible for any loss or damage personal belongings. That includes belongings in the room when the room service comes to clean. If they do not trust their crew, I will not trust them. That left me only one option, to leave the room for 3 days without cleaning; it was OK, but for longer stay, will be impossible. The WiFi is very fast, the room is large and they have microwave and mini bar fridge. Their customer service is amazing... and the staff as well. If you are Ok with all of the above points, I do recommend it for you.

We stayed here in early november for 10 nights, and were very pleased with our stay especially for the price we payed. Its worth mentioning that we only used the hotel as a base to sleep at while doing many of the things that florida has to offer!! so cant comment on everything the hotel has to offer. We found the hotel staff friendly, everywhere very clean and rooms well equiped. The pool was great, heated even out of season which is more than can be said for the much more expensive hotel we stayed at in tampa. The location of the hotel was fine for us very close to universal but is the more "grotty" end of international drive with mainly cheap t-shirt shops and not as nice as round Point Orlando. The hotel offers a free bus to universal which is well worth it given how much they now charge to park a car there. The worst thing about the hotel is the bathrooms, the shower we could not get working, so when the enginneer looked at it it turned out to be fine just had to pull it so hard the tiles all moved!!!

There are not enough front desk staff, long queue to wait for check-in / out or ask a simple question. They didn't even have my booking when I checked in. After a prolonged phone call among the staff, they finally said they found my booking. They do provide free breakfast, but don't expect too much, free breakfast means free bread, long queue to use the toaster as well. Free shuttle to the Universial Studio and Disney, but not very frequent and subject to availability, this hotel is the last stop. Good thing was this hotel located in International Drive, a main street that easy to get a cab. That's about $10 to the Universal Studio. Overall, the room was clean but ramada is ramada, what you pay is what your get. BTW, the front desk staff wanted me to pay for the room fee when I checkout even I fully paid.

No cons.Clean rooms with everything you need without extra charges and the beds will give you sleep that may keep you in them longer than you wanting to rush out to sightsee.Walking distance to the ICON and over 75 places to eat.Lynx and trolley right in front of the Rosen Inn that you can take directly to the shopping outlets,Seaworld , Universal Studios with a transfer,and if you don't have a vehicle the Lynx bus #42 that stops right in front of the Rosen can take you directly to or from the airport.If you are doing a non Disney, this is a very good centrally located International Drive place to stay.

Though the hotel is little away from busy location. you can catch I-Ride buses available every 30 min just in front of hotel till 10.00 pm. you will see all attractions. cheapest way is grab a 3 days or 5 days or 7 days pass instead daily passes. Breakfast is good I got bored of having same breakfast for 8 days :( Very helpful front desk and tour guide. a little drawback is that the aircon makes noise. KFC, MCDonalds just 5-7 min walk.

The room was not very clean, pubic hair in the shower, ceiling above bathtub and behind toilet were poorly patched and not repainted. Room door had to be kicked to securely closed. King sized bed mattress was soft and lumpy. Not a good experience at all... On the plus side, convenient location if you are going to Universal Studios and don't want to spend $300 to $400 per night on a room.

the hotel is located near universal on one of the side roads off international drive. walking distance to the shops and restaurants. quiet and plenty of parking space. our room was on the first floor with a view of the lake located in the back of the hotel. a couple of chairs right outside the patio to enjoy a few drinks and the view of the wet and wild theme park across the lake. the bed was a little hard but the room was big. had a small refrigerator enough for a few snacks and drinks. free continental breakfast but full breakfast available for a fee. small mini mart located on the premises. overall, not bad for the price and location.

The room we stayed in were big with two double beds, got it at a very cheap rate although there were only 2 of us. Downside--First room we checked in, there was a cockroach in the room!Glad that we got our room changed immediately and we got complimentary breakfast for a day. However, the hotel should be more careful on the cleanliness of the rooms. Besides, the carpet stinks. Shuttle to the Universal is quite limited. The earliest runs at 8:25AM but time will be wasted because the shuttle goes to few other different hotels for pick ups. We paid about $8 for taxi instead which is quite worth it for the time would've wasted if we took the shuttle. Upside--The hotel is centrally located near International Drive. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping areas. 5 minutes car ride to Universal and Orlando Premium Outlets. Huge rooms that are suitable for families. Nice Tiki bar and swimming pool. Lastly, would definitely come back again and hopefully by then there won't be any cockroach in the room! :)

The hotel was ok. The room never really got cold enough for me even though I had the air on 60 at times. It just froze. There was an issue with the shower ( partly my fault) I booked a room with a roll in shower. The problem was that it would flood the bathroom and in the room and I had to use the towels to clean it up. Well the second day it reach the carpet in the room the carpet was soaked and even wet the comforter that was partially on the floor, called front desk was told it was to late at night to change rooms call in the morning but we did get another comforter. In the a.m. asked for another room could not change and the carpet started to sour no one ever did anything about the water. Other than that the hotel was fine. Breakfast was good, coffee was great!

Rosen Inn did it again for us in 2019! This is our second time in a row staying at the RIU@6327 and again, it was another wonderful vacation. Everything was just right. From our arrival and check-in with Lise to our housekeeper Marie, everyone was polite and helpful. We felt safe and secure with the staff at Rosen Inn Closest to Universal. We will definitely recommend again to friends and family alike. Thank you to everyone at RIU@6327 International Drive for another wonderful stay. See you next year! :-)

We enjoyed our stay at the Doubletree Hotel Orlando Universal At the Entrance. Upon arrival, we requested for early check-in and a room was immediately given to us. Warm & yummy chocolate chip cookies were also given to us upon check-in. Love the free shuttle to the Universal Studios - Island of Adventures & Universal Studios - Florida. It was a 15 min walk away if the shuttle bus was missed. There was also Walgreens and several restaurants located near to the hotel. I would recommend changing hotels (e.g those nearer to Disney) when planning days to Disneyland. This is so as to not miss the firework shows and other shows which are usually shown towards the later part of the evening (9pm).

This hotel was a really a great deal for the money. The location, across the street from Universal Studios, saves time standing in line at the theme park, and if you utilize the hotels "free" shuttle, you will also save $11 in parking fees for the day, every littlte bit helps. There are a variety of restaurants and shopping. Within a couple miles of the hotel, there is something for everyone. The rooms were clean and fresh asnd the beds were very comfortable. They also have a complimentary continental breakfast in the lobby. Overall I think this hotel is a great value for anyone, business or family, who is visitig either Universal Studios or the Convention Center, and would rather save a few bucks, than spend than night sleeping in a superior hotel.

Love the hotel overall. Nice size room comfy beds and location of hotel was on good location. Beautiful spacious n staff was very friendly. Amenities were excellent restuarant shop swimming pools gym.....love it. I should have stay another day. Very clean impecable. Nice lobby n breakfast area. Restaurant n dinning offered. Cons: a little noise coming from above n next door. Like someone showering n getting ready to go. Breakfast not included on deal n parking was very full and not near any of the hotel entrance. We did not valet it was very busy. I recommend anyone to do it.

We stayed here for 7 nights (3 adults). The one bedroom suite was great, and had everything we needed including a washing machine and dryer. The spa bath was appreciated after a long day walking at the theme parks. The pool area was lovely. The hotel offers complementary shuttles to Disney and Universal. It's about a 10 minute walk to International Drive. We would definitely stay there again.

pros the location was nice, about 5mins by car to universal studios less than a $7 cab,lift or uber ride. i saw no bugs, but based on the reviews i believe what people saw were water bugs not roaches, they looked the similar and are very common in the south like ants. the staff were very nice and accommodating. cons building needs lots of work, roof leaking while it rained. hence the presence of water bugs. breakfast was a joke, toast, cereal , apple juice , coffee, 1 tea bag, no jelly, no butter, and milk. not even a trace of fruit. it wouldn't even be counted as a continental breakfast. they charge for everything, early check in, late check out, and the shuttle is also a joke, just has a few drop off times but 1 pick up time way too early
