Rosen Shingle Creek

International Drive, Orlando

Virgin rating

The hotel

This isn’t just a holiday resort, it’s a world in itself. For starters, there’s the 18-hole golf course and 4 seasonally heated outdoor pools. The Spa at Shingle Creek is perfect for a pamper, and there's fun for all the family with tennis, basketball and sand volleyball games galore. When hunger calls, head to one of the many restaurants and choose from a range of cuisines, or head out onto I-Drive for some classic American diners. Just a short drive from Orlando's best theme parks, you're never far from the fun. And once the day is done, head to your relaxing room for some down time before another day of adventure ahead.

The parking is abysmal. They do a horrible job at managing the valet/rideshare/ guest area. Every time we pulled in all lanes were blocked with cars and staff just standing around. Most of the cars were empty. I wouldn’t choose to stay here. Read less

This hotel is dirty, from the floors, to the rooms, and the beds. The staff that helped at the front desk were extremely rude and condescending. The food in the restaurants was also overpriced and there weren't many options - overall would never stay here again.

Everything about the Rosen Shingle Creek is top notch. But I need to single out an exceptional employee. Kimberly at the Tobi burger and brew. She was personable, a great bartender and wait staff. She remembered our order the next day. As we did a repeat of the smash burger she recommended. She spoke so highly of Mr. Rosen and working for the resort. She couldn't say enough about how proud she was to work there. She loves her job and it shows!! Read less

I spend 110+ nights per year in all level of accommodations and travel to Orlando regularly. I'm middle aged and not high maintenance. Additionally due to my industry/company, I was required to travel during the entire COVID nightmare. I totally understand the challenges and changes the pandemic brought to hotels and have a great deal of respect for the hospitality industry as a whole. Since it's opening; I've stayed at Shingle Creek at least 20 times. The staff are all well trained, professional, friendly and genuinely seem to want to be there. Honestly Hilton and Marriott could take pointers... Additionally the rooms, public spaces and property in general is very clean, smells nice and functional. Areas that have noticeably changed for the worst: Guest room air conditioning was loud, not efficient and with a bad thermostat; had to be left on 24/7 to keep the room at 70 degrees. Air conditioning in general public areas seems weak too... Only standard size pillows on king bed; kind of cheap. No grab bars anywhere around the tub is dangerous. TV in room extremely slow to respond with limited channels. Up/down directional lights on elevators broken/burnt out. Building exterior broken/burnt out lights. Public areas missing seating/furniture? Downstairs market was regularly out of bottled water and beverages. Hot food options are very limited and nothing healthy or modern. Parking can be difficult when there's a large group on property. At $30.00 per night expensive when it's a mile from the guest rooms. Read less

I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. I have not found any faults at all. It is clean, spacious, lots of restaurants, bars, decent shop, Starbucks, boba bar, gym… the pools are so inviting, quiet and clean. The staff have been brilliant, reassuring during hurricane Milton and just to add, there was no damage or flooding to the hotel at all.… Read more
I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. I have not found any faults at all. It is clean, spacious, lots of restaurants, bars, decent shop, Starbucks, boba bar, gym… the pools are so inviting, quiet and clean. The staff have been brilliant, reassuring during hurricane Milton and just to add, there was no damage or flooding to the hotel at all. It felt really safe. Austin one of the restaurant managers shot used my son with balloons and a cake on his birthday and staff bought up a bottle of champagne for my husband on his birthday. They wowed me. Also the view over the pools and golf course is beautiful. Nice not to have other buildings in our view. The hotel is also very close to everything and handily right opposite a shopping complex.
