Waited 25 minutes to check-in. I shared in advance it was a special occasion via the Expedia portal and they had no note of that even though they had acknowledged that when I sent the message. It is our honeymoon night.

Overall stay was good. Early entry to the park and shuttle to the park is a huge plus. It is a budget friendly option.

Rooms were very clean and the pool area. They need to let you do more things in the pool. They didn’t allow balls or frisbees. Food was very expensive there and not too many options for food. Over all it was a nice stay.

4/28/24 READ BEFORE BOOKING.Will not be returning. We had to wait 15-20 minutes MULTIPLE TIMES just for an elevator to open up. We took the stairs many MANY times also your blankets are GARBAGE who wants a blanket so thin you can see through? They legitimately have HOLES, they’re thin woven blankets that have holes. I froze all night long even with 2 blankets sweatpants and furry socks. Also why do you have to go through so many gates and scan your card so many times???? Once to get into the parking lot is fine but we were having to scan 5-10 times per time just to get in and out. Also this is the LOUDEST hotel I’ve ever been in. I could legitimately hear every time our neighbor showered, brushed his teeth, flushed the toilet, when the maids were vacuuming, children screaming and running up and down the hallways all night. People trying to OPEN OUR DOOR. Not to mention what sounded like firecrackers going off every hour all night long. I woke up probably 10 times per night from the noise. Also the breakfast in the morning smells like rotten fish I was gagging at the smell. There’s many things on the website that say “free breakfast” you have to pay for all the food from the cafeteria. You get into IOA early for staying on property at 8 but only 2 rides are open. You’re only allowed in one section of the park and when the other sections open the rides dont until 11:30. We wandered around for hours, what’s the point of getting there early if nothings fully open until 12pm?

Served its purpose. Budget but clean and staff worked promptly to answer phones, clean and bring towels. Shuttles were prompt and orderly considering the amount of people on lines. No complaints.

Dockside is a great value option for visiting Universal. And the transportation to the parks is excellent. The Rooms are also nice and spacious. The only con for us was that it is an extremely busy hotel. All the public spaces were very crowded.

We left a Disney Property and checked into the hotel and were treated like VIP! They we're so wonderful! So accommodating, so friendly! Never had to wait for a shuttle or walk a mile to board one! Absolutely loved our time here! This is the second time I have stayed at a Universal Endless Summer Resort. Wonderful!!!

The only thing I can say that needs improvement is the thin walls and noise. There was a group that was a bit loud late night and the walls were so thin we could here there conversations, music, etc Al’s o when using the air conditioning there would be a clicking pipe noise in the wall unit

From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The amenities at the resort were top-notch. We spent leisurely hours lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun and sipping refreshing drinks from the poolside bar. Throughout our stay, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel truly valued as guests.
