Five years after I first stayed at Universal Orlando’s Surfside Inn and Suites, I figured I owed this value hotel a second try.
I’m not sure I’m going to give it a third.
My $156 per night rate (which included an annual passholder discount) wasn’t the problem, as I was staying over a holiday weekend and I knew I’d have to pay a little more than the typical price. Compared to the other half of the Endless Summer Resort just across the street, the Dockside Inn and Suites, Surfside now seemed like the much less desirable option for food and pool amenities.
The room itself also felt like it had been downgraded since the hotel first opened. Check out more of my thoughts in my video room tour and review:
