Nearby landmarks include Magical Midway (1 km), Our Body: The Universe Within (1 km), Titanic The Artifact Exhibition (1 km), Coco Key Water Resort (1 km), Universal's Volcano Bay (1 km), Ripley's Believe It or Not (1.5 km), The Wheel at ICON Park (2.5 km), The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (2.5 km), Universal Orlando Resort (2.5 km), and Universal's Islands of Adventure (2.5 km).

Hotel Services

Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites provides free shuttle service to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay. Guests receive Early Park Admission to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter(TM) and Universal's Volcano Bay water theme park one hour before regular scheduled park opening to either Universal Studios Florida or Universal's Islands of Adventure as determined by Universal Orlando. Car parking is available. The property charges fees and deposits at time of service, check-in, or check-out.

“Here's my take: it stands out as a thoughtfully designed spot for families especially, placing an emphasis on convenience and fun; early park entry to Universal is a real perk, and the family suites give everyone room to breathe. The two pools are undeniably a hit, complete with attentive lifeguards and poolside service for easygoing days, in my opinion. If you're after a well-rounded base for exploring Orlando, it hits the mark.”

Excellent Stay with Convenient Amenities

bed upgrade excellent choices convenient amenities
The hotel was quite nice for our short stay. We got an upgrade to a room that featured three beds instead of the two we booked. I found the food options on the premises to be excellent. I appreciated the convenience of having food, a pool, a bar, and laundry rooms all in one place. It was also very clean.
The acoustics in the room were not ideal. I could hear every movement from the room above and the room next door. Rooms are connected by a door and you can hear the other group well.

The shuttle service to the parks was ACCEPTABLE.
The room itself was rather disappointing. The walls seemed thin. I could clearly hear conversations from the adjacent room. the check-in process took an UNACCEPTABLE amount of time.

Acceptable stay overall

hotel shuttle timely service distant elevators long walk
The hotel shuttle to the theme parks and the airport was a great perk (i used it a lot!). I also liked that the staff service was timely.
The elevators were only on one side of the building. If you're on the opposite side, it seemed like a long walk (especially with luggage).

check-in was quick and the front desk staff was very polite. the pools were clean and had a large number of towels available. the pool bar staff were great, and there were many lifeguards on duty. i liked the variety of options in the food court, and the salad bar had fresh ingredients.
