Universal’s Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites

We absolutely loved Dockside Inn & Suites. We stayed for almost 2 weeks and had a great experience. Transportation from the airport to the hotel was flawless. Highly recommend. Transportation from the hotel to City Walk was very convenient. Flawless. Check-in was smooth. Took about 20 minutes. The room was clean, bright and comfortable. We got to enjoy the pool which was heated and clean. Our family really enjoyed the outdoor area. We do wish they served food outdoors, though. All in all, it was a great hotel and I would highly recommend.

We really liked this resort and enjoyed our stay. It’s close to Universal and offers free shuttle buses to the parks. The on-site restaurant was great, we ate there several times for dinner, and the coffee in the dining room was good as well. The pool area looked very nice, but it was closed due to cold weather, so we didn’t get a chance to use it. We stayed in a two-room suite that was clean, had a minimalist vibe, and while a bit small, had everything we needed. Overall, we loved the atmosphere. It was lively with lots of families and had a fun feel that worked perfectly for a theme park trip. The staff and amenities made everything easy and enjoyable. From eating meals there to using the shuttle, it really felt like a stress free stay. We would definitely stay here again.

The staff at Dockside was amazing! From early check in. Mildred was extremely helpful and went above and beyond for our 1st stay. We were celebrating my daughters birthday. They made her feel special. In Pier 8 we had an issue with our bill. The manager ( Hispanic) women I believe took care of it for us without hesitation. We will definitely stay there again!

PRO: - The rooms are clean, well organized, and comfortable. - The quoted * price for the room is very reasonable. - The property is visually impressive. - The pools are large, inviting, with plenty of towels, staff is great. - Busses run on a regular schedule and get you to/from the parks quickly. CON: - Plan 1 hour for check in. IF you book through Universal, you cannot early check-in. Very long cattle lines for check-in. Staff is rude. - * Parking on site is $26.00 per night - Onsite Universal desk at hotel is equally rude and have few answers. Best to go to guest services at the park. Desk are only there to sell. - Food is very expensive, and lacks taste. - Refillable drinks from park do not work at hotel and vice versa. - Unless in suite, no microwave. Suggestions: 1. Book directly from Lowes NOT Universal so you can do early check-in and avoid the cattle lines and rude employees. 2. Do not waste time at Universal desk unless you want to buy something. They will send you to guest services in the park. 3. Bring what you want to eat for breakfast with you. NO MICROWAVE. Food plaza is expensive and food is of low quality. Bring your own water/drinks 4. Park off property and be dropped off at property and avoid the 26.00 a night parking fee. 5. Plan to take your luggage and gear to the room without any carts. None can be found.

We had an excellent stay at Universal’s Endless Summer – Dockside Inn & Suites. The hotel offers great comfort and everything is designed to make families feel relaxed and welcome. Our room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable — perfect for resting after a long day in the parks. The food options were surprisingly great for a value resort. The dining area has a wide variety of meals throughout the day, and everything we ordered was fresh, tasty, and convenient. It made our mornings and late-night dinners so much easier. The pool area was one of our favorite parts — clean, refreshing, and full of space to relax. It was the perfect way to unwind, and the kids absolutely loved it. With friendly staff, easy transportation to the parks, and great amenities, this hotel is an amazing choice for anyone visiting Universal Orlando. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back!
