This was our second time coming to Dockside. We loved all the staff, very friendly. On-site Starbucks, shuttles to parks , and City Walk and early park admission are great perks.

The hotel itself is nice, but if you're looking for a quiet, restful stay, I'd avoid a first-floor room. The walls don't seem to block sound very well—you can clearly hear guests in neighboring rooms, and the noise from the pool carries into the room. It made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Overall, the hotel is clean and enjoyable, but I would recommend requesting a room on a higher floor if noise is a concern

Highly recommend this resort. Not only was the hotel in great condition, but the staff was helpful and friendly. We did have to deal with a barking dog above us for a night, but the next night we were so tired and it didn’t matter. We left the day after. The pools are big and have 4 lifeguards along with a little “sand/beach” area. They even include some beach ball/pool items for kids to play with. Rooms were spacious. I do wish the beds had heavier comforters instead of 2 sheets & a blanket in between. The room keys had each individual’s name on them which was neat & helpful! Parking was included in the parking garage for our rental. Even have a Starbucks in the lobby! Be aware of cafe…while the food is good and they do have options, almost everything is al la carte. It will get expensive quick. Overall, we will be back and seeking this place out for future stays!

This place was amazing!

We stayed the night prior at one of the premium universal hotels and we preferred Dockside by far.

We had a 3 bed suite and the room was massive which we really enjoyed. It had everything you would need for an enjoyable stay.

We will definitely be back!

The hotel is fine, convenient using the buses to go to the park. We stayed in the suite, two rooms. Minimalist style. To be honest the rooms needs a more thorough cleaning. There were spider webs in the corner of the rooms. Everything at the hotel is ridiculously expensive. 11 bucks for a 330 ml beer. Outrage

Lacking: storage for clothing and hookups for hanging towels (there are none at all)

Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Dockside Inn & Suites did not disappoint! Clean, modern rooms, huge pools with lifeguards on duty, and a food court with Starbucks right in the lobby.

The free shuttle to CityWalk and the parks was quick and easy, and early park admission made mornings so much smoother. Staff were friendly and helpful the whole stay!

I would recommend adding more to the fitness center. It needs more equipment .

However ,perfect value for an on-site Universal hotel — we’ll definitely be back! 💙

My family and I absolutely love staying at Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Dockside Inn & Suites. We come back again and again because it truly feels like our home away from home. The rooms are always clean, comfortable, and affordable, and the location makes getting to the parks so easy.

What really keeps us coming back, though, is the incredible staff. Jason and Gabe consistently go above and beyond to make every stay special. They are always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely care about making guests feel valued. Their outstanding customer service is one of the biggest reasons we continue choosing Dockside year after year.

Thank you to everyone at Dockside for making every vacation memorable. We can’t wait for our next trip and look forward to seeing Jason, Gabe, and the rest of the amazing team again. If you’re looking for a great place to stay at Universal Orlando, we highly recommend Endless Summer Dockside. Five stars all the way!

The property was exceptional. Extra friendly staff, character meet and greets made the kids so happy, late night pool, shuttles every 15 min to universal made traveling a breeze, the cafeteria downstairs with great food, and the rooms were well maintained and cleaned daily. I will definitely stay here next time I bring my kids to Orlando. They loved it and so did I.

My family & I (4 adults) stayed at this property for a week. We found this location very convenient for getting to the Universal parks. We took full advantage of the buses. The restaurant on property was also helpful. I felt like they had a good variety and again convenient for our needs. Pricing is comparable to the area. We visited IHOP one morning and spent the same.
The cleaning staff always had our room clean and well stocked.

Our stay was great at Endless Summer; very busy hotel theres always people in the lobby. We enjoyed the pool the most. The arcade is small for the quality of the resort a bigger with more game selection would have been nicer. The housekeeping staff only came in the morning and for those that enjoy sleeping in welp lets just say we never got our rooms serviced bc we where always occupying it when they arrived. The staff did ask if we needed anything and swapping out towels, taking the garbage was always feasible. Having the food bar was great just always a large amount of people very busy for our liking. If you dont mind the crowd this is a great place- we where in town for my daughters volleyball tournament. Theres also complimentary shuttle service to all the parks which is nice too.

This was a last minute change of hotels because the hotel we booked did not accommodate wheelchairs on their shuttles to Universal. The stay was very accommodating and I even had to extend the trip and the staff made that really easy. The housekeeper even came in and help tidy up the room when I was sick and couldn’t leave the room for two days. They had very good food options. I have now stayed at Dockside and Surfside. They are both great hotels for different reasons. If you want a more lively atmosphere Dockside is where you want to be. If you want a more relaxed atmosphere Surfside is better in my opinion.

Honestly. This place is awesome as far as the pool and bar outside and the store and dining options inside. Plus the transportation to each park was so convenient. It’s just a bitter sweet moment because we found out it was indeed bed bugs in the room and we are bit up. We are praying we did not bring these pesky creatures home with us. My 10 year old got the worst of it and I will be posting a photo.

the rooms were quite clean, tidy and neat. One thing I didn't understand was why a Coffee Maker and No coffee, etc. I suppose that was to force one to go downstairs and wait in line at Starbucks?
The food court was quite ample with plenty to choose from, although quite pricy!
The pool and pool deck were amazing! Perfect for all ages , including babies and seniors.
We definitely Loved the Free Shuttle to and from the different Parks!! Minimal wait times as the shuttle is a large bus with plenty of room for all! Thoroughly enjoy our mini vacay!

Amazing hotel. No issues on our stay. Great benefit is getting early access in to Universal parks before the general public. Volcano bay to get a good spot and Islands of Adventures to get on big rides.
Shuttle busses arriving all the time to take you to Universal parks and return frequently. About $10 Uber fare to Sea World and Aquatica.
Would definitely book again if visiting Orlando.

Hotel was really nice. Family rooms were spacious and clean. Check-in was easy with Expedia reservation, please note that you will still need to pay for parking if driving to hotel. Elevators are a little far to get to in tower 2. If you are traveling with older guest, or someone with mobility issues request lower levels and/or near elevator. Side note this is a Value Resort so be prepared to see a lot of traveling kids from schools and different programs. Overall great hotel and a great place to stay.
