Universal’s Endless Summer Dockside Inn & Suites | Review & Hotel Tour!

My family and I stayed at Dockside and we loved our 2-bedroom suite. The room was large! We had an eating table, full size fridge, full size sink and microwave. Two Queen beds on the outside, Queen in the second room, a large bathroom with a sink, toilet & roll in shower! It was great! Didn’t love all the food at Pier 8, the chicken was dry that came with the waffles, but enjoyed grabbing Starbucks before heading to the parks!😊

I love Dockside! Has everything you want in a "value" hotel and still looks / feels nice! The laminate floors do mean that the rooms are noisy if the people above you are walking around. My wife loves the suites here better than any other resort. She snores & this gives her a "private" space so the rest of us can sleep! The buses run so often that I never wait more than a couple minutes to get to/from the parks. (Yes.. both pools are similar!)

I love that Universal is offering such affordable options to families. It's soooo close to Epic as well. I think that will only increase it's popularity.

I stayed at Surfside a year and a half ago and one of the things I liked about the location is that there is a Walgreens across the street. So I was able to buy bottled water and soda or whatever you may want for breakfast to save some money before heading to the parks for the day.

I think I would love to see more of Sapphire Falls or Cabana Bay. I like those island vibes.

I am staying in Mid-August 2023 when schools are back so that will be great on Dockside Inn for first time! Been to universal studios before that be my second time. I used to go to Disney seams like they closed down bunch of rides lately or having issues. So Universal sill keeper for me!

I have stayed at Dockside a couple times and I will add that my experience with their guest services has been fantastic. We had issues with the A/C in our 1 Bedroom Suite the first trip and immediately a serviceman was sent out. The A/C worked for a bit afterwards but then went out again and they immediately changed our rooms to another suite that, for us, was in a much better location. My second trip we had a 2 Queen room and had no issues. You use the phone to communicate any room service needs, like more towels etc - and they're very quick to respond and I feel like the service is honestly better this way. It just takes a small learning curve of using your phone to send a message rather than using the hotel phone to call.

I don't know what we would do without yall....I didn't know you can pick up your passes from the hotel (that's so convenient)! I love that the hotels have Universal stores in them just in case you forget something or want to make a quick stop before leaving (I usually wait til the end of my trip to find souvenirs)! I plan on staying at the Endless Summer Dockside when I finally make it to a meetup lol...at least that's the plan I have in my mind.

You both crack me up. I love this tour, not only because it's not dull and dry, but it's because y'all are hilarious.

We loved Dockside!! 🧡 the only downside was you can hear EVERYTHING when you’re in your room. But for the money, you can’t beat it!!! Our room was not ready yet either, because we got there really early, but they got us a room ready within a half hour! And the luggage services was amazing and everyone is very nice!

Thank you for telling us about the key turning on the lights. It saved me from calling guest services 😅

I love your videos! Watching them really gets me excited for my upcoming trip and helps get organized!! Thank you!! Love you guys!!

Yes! Was so excited for this video! I’m staying here in less than 2 weeks yay!

Last July, stayed at Surfside for two nights and then had reservations at Royal Pacific. Agree with your review. Very clean hotel! Your videos helped my family and I tremendously, as that was our first time at Universal. Thank you!

Stayed at dockside 2 weeks ago a family of 5. We rented the 2 bedroom and we loved it! Shuttle buses were great, no need to check out if you placed room on credit card and any questions we had you can text the resort and they answer right back to you. They also clean the rooms on a daily so never did we go without fresh towels. I so recommend Dockside 🙂

We have booked this resort for our 7 day vacation. Love seeing this video to help see what we will be getting and have access to!! Super helpful.

Awesome! The resort looks so nice and clean. The rooms look spacious as well. That’s always a plus! Hoping to check it out here soon.

I’ll be here in less than 2 weeks! So happy to see you two doing a review!

Yet again, another super insightful and helpful review! 👏

This is very helpful for my upcoming trip. THANK YOU for doing the research for me ahead of time.
