Rosen Shingle Creek - Orlando, USA 

Lap of Luxury
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We came a few days early for a wedding. We had 3 rooms and 2 of them were adjoining just as I had requested. The person who helped us at the front desk was very friendly and efficient. Check-in was a breeze. Our 10th floor rooms overlooked the 3 pools and were spacious, clean, and lovely. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were. We didn't eat in the restaurants, they were quite expensive. But the sandwiches and deserts served at the bridal shower were yummy! Every course of the wedding dinner was beautifully presented (the mango sorbet before the entree was delicious). The first night we had the pools and hotel almost to ourselves. By July 3 several large groups had arrived for the 4th of July weekend and there was a lot of partying going on! The pool area was very crowded and so was the parking lot. It took 10 minutes to walk to your car. By Sunday night, all was quiet again. The golf course looked amazing, but we don't golf. I found the location very convenient. Just .5 mi to the interstate and you could go anywhere. Sea World is only 2 miles away, and the other amusements parks are between 10-20 minutes away. It takes a little over an hour to get to Busch Gardens. I can't imagine anyone not having a wonderful stay. I would definitely stay there again on a future visit.

Wonderful!!!

The Rosen Shingle Creek is an exquisite hotel. The service was great, staff was accomodating, the food was excellent and the ammenities were plentiful. I am looking to return to Orlando for a trip with my family and definately plan to stay at the Rosen Shinlge Creek.

Biltmore Knock Off
Posted: Tue, Jul 07 2009
This is one of the most impressive facilities to try to emulate the famous Biltmore in Miami. They succeed in Grandness but Fail in Service. The facility is very nice but the staff is Terrible! I am a handicapped traveler, cane not wheel chair, the stay started poorly and went downhill from there. It started when I pulled in to check in. Valet would not let me park under the awning to check-in like they have done from the Econolodges to the Fountainbleau in Miami. I was directed to park about 300 yards away from the check-in desk. Most of the walk was in the sun in 90 degree weather and I move at the speed of a slow turtle with each step being a new experience in pain. Once I get to the Reservation Desk, I am informed that I can't check in until after 3pm. They tell me to park in Guest Parking, because I was not checked in Valet would not park my car. Guest Parking is literally ¼ mile from the lobby, restaurants etc. No space available in the Handicapped space. The highlights of the stay, excellent room service, Very clean nice rooms but the rooms can be a very long way from the elevators. They have birds in the lobby just like the Biltmore. The facility is too new to have mature trees. The Spa closed too early and could not provide a masseuse after 8pm. Though the hotel is not outrageously expensive they are real big to nickel and dime the business traveler to death, including a $9 internet charge. I had planned to stay 2 days but left after 23 hours in the hotel. If you stay there be prepared to walk long distances from the hotel to the pool, convention center and golf course. The staff needs to treat their customers better. Like so much of Orlando being it is mainly a façade of a nice hotel.

This hotel was immaculate! It was beautiful inside and out. It smelled nice and was really clean. It is HUGE! Our room was really spacious, plenty of room to move around...and just a fair warning you can not lay in the bed without falling asleep because its just that comfortable. The food from the hotel restaurants are really good. I enjoyed the fact that the pool-side bar waiters came out to you with a menu while you were relaxing by the pool. The negatives would be that the restaurants and the ice cream shop had really wierd hours it would be open one minute and closed the next. SELF-PARKING IS A NIGHTMARE..just pay for the valet(15 dollars a day) otherwise you'll be walking a mile or 2 back to your room. Like any hotel they pretty much charge you for everything but what really bothered me was that you had to pay for the internet...4.95 an hour or 9.95 a day..I would think that that would at least be free. We stayed on the 8th floor so you kinda have to let the hot water run for about 15 minutes to get hot water. Other than that, it was probably THE BEST HOTEL I've ever stayed at! I will most definately be booking this hotel again.
