We had a wonderful experience at Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites. The location is a definite advantage, and the rooms were both spacious and clean. The hotel features a Universal Studios store, Starbucks, and various dining options, which is very convenient for families who prefer to stay on-site.

I recently celebrated my 66th birthday at your hotel, and I want to commend your staff for their excellent customer service.

Unfriendly to solo travelers
Nov 20, 2024Jill H
The good: They let me checkin early, rooms are spacious, facilities are good. The bad: USB chargers don’t work in the room, a light didn’t work, extractor fan didn’t work, bathroom door lock didn’t work, it takes great strength to turn the handle to work the shower. The worse: the guy on the ticket desk made snide remarks about solo travelers. I…

The bad: USB chargers don’t work in the room, a light didn’t work, extractor fan didn’t work, bathroom door lock didn’t work, it takes great strength to turn the handle to work the shower. The worse: the guy on the ticket desk made snide remarks about solo travelers. I went to the sand bar, the barman was friendly and got me a stool but as soon as I sat down the girl near me dragged her stool away obviously not wanting to talk to me which is fine but she made me uncomfortable for no reason. The bar man continued to chat to her, it would’ve been kinder to talk to me and make me feel welcome after seeing that interaction, I felt intimidated drank my beer quickly and left.

Stayed in several hotels in Orlando but I would go back to this one. Convenient for shops and places to eat breakfast. We did eat a couple of times in the hotel and it was reasonably priced with a few vegetarian options.
The rooms were adequate and comfortable. We were a family of 4 with 2 grown up children.Beds were comfortable. I didn't have problem with bedding as it was 35c so didn't really require blankets. I noticed Walgreens across the road sold fleece throws for a couple of dollars.
I bought cereal to have breakfast some mornings but as other people have said the plastic dishes and spoons are rubbish but this is common in America they don't seem to care about plastic waste ☹️
The area was fine not my favourite part of the I Drive but the I Trolley stopped outside and we went to Icon park most evenings. The trolley stops outside the carpark and you can take a shortcut through there to get to the hotel if the little gate is shut .
Drinks at the bar were very expensive.
Altogether this is a good hotel well placed for visiting universal. Amenities are good and everywhere was clean.
