Stayed here for 3 days as part of our cruise package, in room 809, The hotel seemed totally unaware that 5 coaches were due from the cruise ship in Fort Lauderdale, we arrived just after 1pm n were told in no uncertain terms our rooms wouldn’t be ready until 3pm and sadly one couple on our coach got her keys at 5pm. OMG the outdated rooms, dark brown furniture, washbasin in the room, whilst toilet & shower separate. Windows that are permanently shut and the only way to cool the room is by using the ancient air conditioner that’s as quiet as a Boeing 747. The room was noisy, could clearly hear dogs in the other rooms, slamming doors, people laughing n kids screaming! The main corridors looked like they had last seen a paintbrush in the early 1960s ! The lifts are so out dated it’s laughable. Had to check out by 11am and we asked at reception if we could leave our luggage as our coach transfer wasn’t till 4pm, blimey even this was an ordeal and unhelpful man snapped follow me to which we did and our luggage was left in a room.

Unfortunately I had a family emergency and had to cancel the day before check-in. Since it was such short notice, I was still charged for my stay adding to my current burden. The manager was unwilling to budge. Be careful when booking as things do sometimes come up and this hotel isn’t forgiving at all.

Gerdia in sales at Rosen Plaza Hotel is my life saver. She was so helpful in booking our company rooms for a conference to be held January 2-7, 2024 at Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. She went the extra mile, has a sweet personality & was a joy to work with. Thank you so much Gerdia for all your help. JLong
