Rosen Inn, Closest To Universal

Free shuttles to Universal resort Nice location - a lot of restaurants Very nice stuff Free parking Big room

The hotel is a bit old

Lets face it, you are not booking this place expecting it to be the Four Seasons. It does exactly what you want it to do and that is be comfortable enough and clean enough to lay your head after a long day in the Universal Parks. Location wise, its about 25-30 min walk or a $6 Uber to the parks. The hotel does have a limited shuttle if you wanted to use that, we chose not to. For the price its great value for money.

Its no secret that the place is getting older and it is stuck in its 90s vibe. There isnt any soundproofing and I would recommend to take earplugs if you are a light sleeper as the highway is directly behind the hotel ( it is what separates the hotel and Universal parks) - if you want to lay in, expect to hear the cleaning staff talking very loudly from around 9am outside the door or in the room next door. My wife and I travel the world full time so always have ear plugs with us so we were not disturbed too much by the noises around.

I rented two rooms over the weekend One for my wife and me and one for my daughter and her two small children. The rooms were neat and clean. The beds were comfortable. There were a refrigerator and microwave as well as a coffee maker in the room. We brought two dogs with us and the hotel was very pet-friendly and only charged $15.00 per dog per night which I thought was very fair. We were going to Universal Studios during this trip and the hotel is only a mile away and they provide free shuttle service which saved us a parking fee at the park. We had the breakfast buffet on the morning we were leaving and there was a wide variety of items including eggs, cereal, breakfast meats, waffles, pancakes , fruits bread, donuts, etc. all for $9.00 per adult, $6.00 dollars for one child and free for my 5-year-old grandson. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a decent hotel at a reasonable price if you are going to be in that area.

I wish there could have been queen size beds instead of double beds. Other than that, I think they do an excellent job at this location. The one other problem was that on Saturday night there was very loud music coming from a club across the street that went on until 1am and made it difficult to sleep.
