Great in-depth video 👍 We've been to Florida twice, once to Kissimmee in a villa and once on IDrive. We we're looking for a cheap no nonsense clean hotel for our next 3 weeks stay. We like to get a car for a week or so and do some traveling once we've done the parks. It looks in a great place on IDrive, we walked past it many times on our way to Millers. I think we'll really consider it next time we return, thanks for your great review.
Rosen Pointe is our favourite but international is good too. Free parking and rooms very clean and staff friendly. Have a good trip. Thank you for your message and watching our vlog. x
Loving all your orlando videos me and my little family are staying here at the end of august for 2 weeks. Thank you for posting videos so we know what to expect ❤
Sweetest couple on here ❤ if you going back in February, have a Quick Look at Sheraton vistana villages , it’s not much more than the rosen m with no parking fees or resort fees and you get a self catering apartment with a balcony too . Lots of pools and activities . We going there in September , not been yet but the reviews look really good x
Thanks for the vlog. Very helpful. Thinking of going to Florida later this year or next year, considering staying at this hotel , seems an okay place to stay . Thanks again for showing us round.
Great vlog, fair review, we always stay there. In fact, we'll be back on 9th August. Your vlog makes me want to go right now ! We always stay in block D and are praying they're not working on that whole we're there as our whole family are going this time! Thanks for your work!
Hello. Really enjoyed the thorough review of the hotel and surrounding area too. Anyway, I’ve booked the hotel for short three night stay before joining a cruise. I do have to admit that Steve sounds just like Michael Caine 👍🏻
I love the fact u go into so much detail I’m staying here may 2025 so it’s good to see what’s there I know it will probably change but it’s still good to know
We stayed in room 1152 when we were there in December. Right next to heated pool and across from reception . Next time we go will be out 12th time staying in this hotel we love it 😀 xx
My boyfriend and I are staying here in November 2024. Looks great and I am so excited to be going. The only thing and this is going to sound silly, but.... it looks like it's all coffee, coffee, coffee. Do they serve tea in the restaurant and is there no kettle in the room?
There is only a coffee machine in the room. You can get tea or coffee in the restaurant and also in the lite bite to take away. Have a wonderful holiday. xx
Would you guys ever go to the universal parks and vlog it for us ? Great variety of rides, some tame and more experience ones for carol and some bigger ones for Steve !
Hey guys! Looking at heading that way in October for a pre cruise and post cruise stay. Also looking at the Rosen Inn Buena Vista because it’s so close to Disney Springs. Have you guys stayed there yet? If so, what do you think about it? One other hotel I heard good things about was Avanti Palms and Conference Center ….they have a great pool, but they have about $20.00 resort fee😢 I might try it for the two day pre cruise stay to lay around the pool. 😊 What hotel did your family stay in when they went? If, you don’t mind sharing.. now your guys are home. Did they like it ….was it a good value? As always, Good seeing and catching up with you all 🎉 Happy you made it home safely.
Kim your trip sounds great. We haven't stayed in Lake Buena Vista although we have been discussing staying a few nights next February. Our son stayed in the Avanti palms. He liked the hotel and location albeit he had very noisy neighbours both sides so dampened his stay. They do charge resort fees unfortunately. Hence why we stay at a Rosen 😂 If you stay at the Rosen Buena Vista, please let us know your views. Have a wonderful holiday. xx
We love your vlogs ❤️ keep up the great work. We usually stay in villas but after seeing this we would really consider staying here being so close to everything! Who knows maybe one time we could bump into you both :) we’re going again in October x ( we also love it when you call Carole babe 🙈 it’s so sweet )
Thank you, ❤️ we like this hotel because of location and meets all and above what we need in a base. Never stayed in a villa so can't compare. Have a wonderful time in October, we are not back until February. Be good to cross paths at some point. xx
Ahh big difference then because I stayed at the Ramada last time and I had to pay $250 and this hotel just looks lovely and can't believe they do breakfast also love your videos and can't wait till the next one 😁😁
I love the hotel and absolutely love the location , also what I’ve been impressed with is the breakfast and overall costs of food etc , when your in Disney it’s self it’s ridiculous prices for a captive audience, once away from there the prices and more than reasonable
It’s a bargain at approx £50 - £60 per night per room . I’ve been going here for about 20 years all told . The room sleeps 4 comfortably, apart from 1 bathroom . Spotless place
We are going in Feb too but we are staying at the other Rosen Inn closest to universal, we have stayed there before too and it was always clean must admit though your breakfast there did have more choice than the other Rosen Inn but all in all we had a nice stay with Applebees opposite which was great to eat in and really well priced too.
We stayed in rosen closest to universal 37 years ago on our first ever trip to Orlando, it was called back then International Inn. We did toy with the idea of staying here on our next trip in Feb but couldn't resist rebooking pointe. May have to do a couple of nights there. Rosen's are great value and always very clean. Applebee's is a great family restaurant. Also budget friendly 😊. If you see us please say hello. xx
@@steveandcarole wow 37 years ago, we will certainly say hi if we see you and if you have time buy you a drink. It depends when you go in Feb. Your right the Rosens are always clean and smell fresh they keep the pool and grounds clean too. We do plan to go to Clearwater and go on the Seascreamer x
Gosh guys. Stayed there. Kiddies were showing, so went for a quick cheeky in the Zebra bar😉 staff so friendly 👍 tv,s we’re on. Local news. Guy had been dragged into a lake by a croc whilst playing golf. Said to the barman…, Christ!! Is that normal? As I wanted to have a round of golf whilst out there. He just said be careful 😅😅😅
@@steveandcarole didn’t dare chance it lol. So the day I had ear marked for it, kids went with mum shopping to Florida Mall. I stayed and did all the clothes washing😅😅
Staying at a 40+ year old motel w/ no sitting options in the room is a no no for me. There are much better options in Orlando. A suite hotel w/ free breakfast like Homewood Suites, Residence Inn or even a time share property like Marriott Grande Vista, Hilton Tuscany Village or Sheraton Vistana w/ 1 or 2 bedroom condo's are much better options.
Great in-depth video 👍

Avoid Kissimmee. Full of flea bag, dirty motels, owned by Indians w/ people living in most of the rooms.
Loving all your orlando videos me and my little family are staying here at the end of august for 2 weeks. Thank you for posting videos so we know what to expect ❤
Also love how much detail you add to each video especially prices as that's something we all consider for our holidays so appreciate the information x
Thank you for your messages and your lovely comment. Appreciate you following along with us.
Have a wonderful holiday. xx

We always stay at the Sheraton on Idrive and we love it there ❤
Let us know what the Sheraton is like. Thank you.
Have a wonderful trip. x

It's our favourite hotel on the drive. Basic but excellent location, very clean and friendly. x
A great vlog in an area of future interest. Love the hotel and surrounding area. Best wishes on your tour. x
Thank you and glad you got something of interest from this vlog. x
Great overview of the hotel and surrounding area! That buffet at the hotel looks so good. My fingers are crossed that you find a golden duck!
Back home now 😭. No golden duck found😭
Oh well going back in Feb so can't Complain. Thank you for your message. x
I’ve stayed here twice hasn’t changed that much since I was last there in 2009. It’s good to see around it all again
It's a great hotel and excellent location. Our favourite Rosen. x

Yes it has been said (Michael Caine) 🤣
Enjoy your stay at the Rosen and have a great time on your cruise. x
@@steveandcarole Many thanks Steve 👍🏻

@@steveandcarole I’m hoping for many more viedos before then just to get a feel for it your viedos make me so happy
Thank you for your lovely message. Steve will be putting another vlog on tommorow. xx
Thanks for another great vlog, I stayed here in May for the first time, it ticks all the boxes for as you say 'a base'
We are just back home and already missing the place. Thank you for your message. xx
Another great vlog
❤️
We stayed in room 1152 when we were there in December. Right next to heated pool and across from reception . Next time we go will be out 12th time staying in this hotel we love it 😀 xx
It's such a good hotel. Like yourself it's our favourite hotel on the drive. We have never ever had a bad stay here. x

@@steveandcarole thank you for your reply and for the wonderful informative video xx
👍
Come out to vancouver/whistler, you would enjoy it
👍
Would you guys ever go to the universal parks and vlog it for us ? Great variety of rides, some tame and more experience ones for carol and some bigger ones for Steve !
Yes we would. Sounds good.
Me and my son were here 10 years ago it just looks the same I like the hotel
It hasnt changedall the years we have been going. They are refurbishing a few of the blocks. x

use hotwire . I just used hotwire & selected the 4.5star hotel (int'l Drive South area) for $99. No resort fees.
Thanks Jeff will check out hot wire.
We love your vlogs ❤️ keep up the great work. We usually stay in villas but after seeing this we would really consider staying here being so close to everything!

Would you guys ever go to the universal parks and vlog them for us ?
We will do on our next visit, unfortunately they don't like you to film on the rides.
I'm looking at staying at this hotel when I go next year just wondering do you need to pay anything when you check in
They put a hold of $50 on your card. As soon as you check out they release the hold. We absolutely love this hotel. Clean, friendly and comfortable.
Ahh big difference then because I stayed at the Ramada last time and I had to pay $250 and this hotel just looks lovely and can't believe they do breakfast also love your videos and can't wait till the next one 😁😁
Wow that's a large deposit.
This hotel is great value and good location.. x
We luv Olive Garden do try. Enjoying the vlogs guys
👍. Will do.
I love the hotel and absolutely love the location , also what I’ve been impressed with is the breakfast and overall costs of food etc , when your in Disney it’s self it’s ridiculous prices for a captive audience, once away from there the prices and more than reasonable
100%. Agree with you. x
It's a great vlog, looking forward to the next one/ If we get to 10k, can we have a indoor iFly?😅
You drive a hard bargain, Alison. Steve will probably say definately. 😂
Did that hotel used to be Quality Inn Plaza? That was where I stayed on my very first visit to Orlando in 1988.
Yes Jonathan, it was Quality inn plaza. We also stayed there back in the day. x
I think I stayed here as well, early 90s using the voucher books you used to pick up everywhere. Bargains galore in those books.
@ali5on I remember those little voucher books, great savings to be had. Hence don't get them anymore. x
It looks a lovely hotel carol was it expensive to stay keep those vlogs coming i really look forward to them ❤
It’s a bargain at approx £50 - £60 per night per room . I’ve been going here for about 20 years all told . The room sleeps 4 comfortably, apart from 1 bathroom . Spotless place
We did a package with BA flights and hotel. 11 nights £1800. Total for both of us. It. xx
@jaccroft amazing value x
Steve, great vlog again, but has the armchair in the room gone. Noticed you suitcases were stored where the chair normally goes.
I know, no chair we'll spotted. I did actually miss this as I do like a comfy lazy chair. Never mind made space for cases. 😂 x
Love watching you both so cute I have a question what is the cheapest way to get to disney without driving from rosen inn point orlando thanku
So in your opinion which block is best
We prefer block B or C
Quite honestly we have never had a bad room in any block we have stayed. x
Great place Steve , Love it
The reception area where we first met you guys lol
( p.s this is another account :) )
Totally confused me Florida Phil 😂. Awesome hotel and the people you meet. xx
We always stay here ,we’ll located and clean
Our favourite Rosen too. x

@KarenJackson-ry1td we fly out 20th Feb. Sea screamer is my favourite boat tour in clearwater. xx
@@steveandcarole lol we fly out that date its a Thursday we fly from Gatwick in the morningx
Karen, we are flying with BA. from Gatwick. x
Gosh guys. Stayed there. Kiddies were showing, so went for a quick cheeky in the Zebra bar😉 staff so friendly 👍 tv,s we’re on. Local news.

@geoffgathercole5828 you deserve a pat on the back Geoff. You certainly deserved that 🍻. 😂 x
Did you say Zanzibar, I thought it was zebras bar...
It is Zebras bar. 😂 Steven got it wrong and didn't realize what he said. In his defense there was a Zanzi bar many years ago on the drive. 😂
Staying at a 40+ year old motel w/ no sitting options in the room is a no no for me. There are much better options in Orlando. A suite hotel w/ free breakfast like Homewood Suites, Residence Inn or even a time share property like Marriott Grande Vista, Hilton Tuscany Village or Sheraton Vistana w/ 1 or 2 bedroom condo's are much better options.
It's OK but basic went in for a drink 2019
👍
Definitely got something out of this channel. Avoid going there.
👍
Another great vlog. Looked a nice hotel 😊
We always enjoy our stay here. xx
nasty motel that is at least 40 years old, small rooms w/ no chairs or a sofa
