The hotel receives mixed reviews, with guests praising the modern rooms, great service, cleanliness, and convenient location near Universal parks. However, some guests complain about inconveniences at night due to the gate, unclean towels and bedsheets, and a bad smell in the building. The hotel is also criticized for being overpriced and lacking maintenance.

Everything was perfect with our experience. No issues whatsoever. We opted for a first floor two bedroom suite and it was convenient for our early departures each day to the park. The shuttle service was always quick and on time getting us to and from the park. All of the staff was very friendly.

I stayed in the 2 bedroom, 3 bed room. Only complaint was storage in the room. There was only one very small dresser and small closet in separate room. Not a lot of storage space for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The pool, on site restaurant and bus transportation to the parks were great.

Loved everything about Surfside Inn and Suites. For an economy priced hotel, everything about it was above standard. We booked a 2-room suite and it was a great choice in terms of facilities, space and privacy. Very helpful, professional and pleasant staff. Hotel was nicely decorated and very clean. We will definitely return to this hotel when we make another to Orlando.

Very clean room and I can’t tell you in simple words how great the staff were at this hotel. I had decided to go to a standard hotel instead of a more expensive stay because I planned on spending a lot of time at the parks and CityWalk. I was pleasantly surprised at the great family-friendly pool and how easy it was to get to all the parks by using their bus system. Save money and enjoy this gem with your family. Save a little staying here for your fun stuff, you will not regret it.

This is a great budget hotel to stay at while visiting the Universal Studios. They offer free shuttles to all of the 4 parks and an extra hour in the morning. The staff was amazing! Nothing, our stay was great!

You have to pay for parking 27 dollars per day and you are forced to walk by the most horrendous sewage smell to get from the parking garage to the hotel and depending on where your room is it could be a very long walk the hotel is very poorly designed the rooms are tiny and definitely not worth the cost

Disappointed we lost a day of early ticket entry into park due to an IT issue and the front desk unable to print our room keys and early entry upon arrival. We lost a day of park entry which was disappointing. Then the power went out in the am and not able to purchase tickets or eat breakfast.

The 2 bedroom option is such a great thing to offer for a very reasonable price for families!!! The shuttle rides to city walk and to Epic seemed to take much longer than the other shuttles for other USF properties.
- 4/5
Friendly and helpful staff The room floors were not as clean as they should be . We reported it to front desk when we noticed our white socks got so dirty after walking on the floors. We are not sure how the floors are cleaned but asked to ensure that floors are to be cleaned using clean water or a new cleaning pad. Secondly, we realized the beds sheets are not changed daily. Last, the bathroom is not cleaned either. Making the room tidy by fixing the beds is not the same as cleanliness.

The property was just the right size. Smaller than the sister hotel Dockside. Quiet. Wait times for buses were not bad. Always got a seat to and from the parks. The kitchen did not have a lot of choices. Dockside was better food wise. If food selection is not that important because you are eating at the parks it is not s as big deal.

Most of the staff are really helpful, especially at the pool bar with Kendra and Garrett. Now unfortunately that’s where it ends as cleanliness was a real issue for us in the rooms. Floor only cleaned once in 16 nights and bedding only changed on the 11th night and that was only after complaints being made with reception. Speaking to other guests in the hotel it was an issue that they also had. Probably wouldn’t return because of this.

Fabulous location for Universal, regular buses from the hotel throughout the day to the parks. I-trolley outside the hotel, stop No: 5. Great value for money to run up and down International Drive. Pool open until 23.00 hrs with lifeguards in attendance at all times. The interconnecting doors in the rooms aren’t sound proof and our neighbours were quite noisy late at night.

I want to sincerely thank Mr. Marcos at the front desk of Universal's Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn and Suites for his exceptional kindness and professionalism during a very difficult moment for me and my family. After being involved in a car accident, we had to make a last-minute reservation while stranded on the side of the road for several hours in 93-degree Florida weather waiting for a tow truck. We were exhausted, stressed, and overwhelmed. From the moment we arrived, Mr. Marcos went above and beyond to help us feel welcomed and cared for. He was compassionate, patient, and did everything he could to make our stay easier. He even gave my family Starbucks beverage coupons to help lift our spirits after such a hard day. That small gesture meant so much to us and truly showed genuine kindness.This hotel was already one of my favorites, but thanks to Mr. Marcos, our experience became even more memorable. Employees like him make a real difference, and I hope he receives the recognition he deserves. Thank you again, Mr. Marcos, for treating us with such care and humanity. N/A

Defiantly was not swept or mopped! I played towels on the ground because I was so grossed out to walk on it. Also the TV wasn’t hooked up. I had to call and have someone reconnect the tv.

This was my families first time staying at this resort and first vacation together. We had a 2 bedroom suite which was large enough for 2 adults and 4 teenagers (2 boys, 2 girls). My overall stay was great and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The pool was a nice addition, lifeguards are on site, life vests are available for those who cannot swim. The pool is only 3 ft deep and there is a shallow end as well. There is food to order but you’ll probably save more money if you walk to the Walgreens across the street to buy breakfast and microwaveable items. Would stay again

What stood out the most to me was the service and the constant shuttle transportation to the parks—they run nonstop, which makes everything incredibly easy and stress-free. You never feel like you’re waiting around. The gym was decent and had everything needed for a good workout, and the food at the hotel was actually very good, with solid options throughout the day. Overall, Universal's Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn and Suites delivers where it matters most—convenience, comfort, and a smooth, hassle-free experience.

We decided to book this for a last minute trip to Universal. It was easy to check in and the in and out parking was convenient. Having the bus shuttles and early entrance to the park were added perks. It was so convenient. The in house restaurant and Starbucks were all what we needed. The food in this casual kitchen was great. Though not one of Universal’s high end hotel, I love this place. Definitely coming back here. Surfside being a smaller hotel than Dockside was just right for my family.

Overall great location & staff, but on the 9th floor it took 9 to 11 minutes to get hot water to come all the way up to our top floor room. For $300/night I expect better than this.
- 3/5
Check in took ENTIRELY too long, and that was without a line. It took nearly 30 minutes. That needs to improve. The room was smaller than I expected. The floors were laminate, which was not comfortable to walk on. The room was quite noisy, and if you were in the bathroom, you could hear your neighbors conversation as if it were in your own room, nevermind stomping of anyone in the hallway and above you. The shower was fine, but the products were just so-so. To turn the shower on, we had to use both hands as the handle was quite difficult to maneuver. At night, you could hear noise (tower 2, garage/parking lot views) from the street and from the hallway. I did love the shuttle service, and the food was fairly priced inside the hotel. The pool was just so-so. It was cold, and the lifeguards blew their whistle so frequently it was hard to relax there. Overall, I'm not sure I would stay here again, but I hope this review is helpful for someone!

Great hotel and very convenient location. Only negative is it takes a very long time for hot water in the shower. Also, the hotel gives one hour early admission to Epic and Islands of Adventure. They should have multiple shuttles available at that time but instead, we waited a good 10-15 minutes.

The staff is really nice. The hotel is close to the parks, the shuttle runs frequently getting to and from is pretty easy. It's clean, the rooms are a good size and priced fairly for the area. The facilities are nice, the pool, the gym, etc. Some things that could be improved. Issues with the room keys not working, it's a big property so if you have to go back to the front desk to fix it after a day at the park it's not what you want to do at that point. Parking is not included in the room price and it's not clearly stated ahead of time, it is a little less expensive than parking at Universal. There is no direct access to the garage, you have to go outside the hotel to the garage. There is an outdoor bar, but no food service. You will need to go inside to order food. On a whole, it's a good value.

We loved the fact that they serviced our room every day. We got fresh towels and bed made up. The property was clean. The pool was wonderful. Grand kids loved it. We also enjoyed the shuttle to and from Universal. The drivers were very friendly. It was a good experience.

An excellent choice for accommodation, offering comfort, spacious rooms in excellent condition, and superb amenities. The location is ideal for those visiting the Universal parks, and they provide shuttle bus service to the various Universal destinations—definitely a spectacular hotel option.☆☆☆☆☆

- 5/5
The location and accommodations were great. We were close to the parks, busses ran regularly to bring us back and forth, and it was an easy drive from the highway. The staff was friendly and courteous and the rooms were our favorite of the three hotels we stayed in during the course of our Florida adventures. Plenty of room for our family of four. Safe, clean, and comfortable. The added bonus of early park admission made our park days smooth and successful - would not do the parks again without it! 10/10 would absolutely stay here again and recommend to others. Honestly, no complaints here. I stay in hotels regularly for both personal and business travel and this experience was wonderful.

I thought it was going to be two bedrooms and a kitchen, but it was actually one bedroom with a closed door and the other two beds in a room with what was supposed to be the kitchen. There was only a sink, a small table a little refrigerator and a microwave, but I guess it was worth it for the convenience of being so close to the parks and being able to ride the shuttle. Not much privacy or space to be comfortable, but very clean and nice.

Love this hotel! The staff is extremely helpful and we were so exhausted from a drive from port after our 8 day cruise. Our flights had been cancelled due to weather and we were “stuck”! So we decided to go to Epic Universe! The Manager checked us in (8 of us) and upgraded us! our rooms! We were so thrilled

What a terrible view of a roof for a resort experience- horrible compared to Cabana Bay and other hotels in the area. Definitely would not stay at Endless Summer again. Stayed at resorts which were priced $40 less to $5 more per night, and Endless Summer Surfside was the least friendly and most blah. We loved our other places. Shower had black crud running into shower floor from the door, during our showers. Had to stand on a towel to shower. Water was warm, but not hot. Toilet ran the whole time we were there and had to keep the door shut to be able to sleep. TV volume was governed very low for my hearing, and many channels were frozen and not working. Had to step into the shower to get the bathroom door closed. Room was much louder than other places. Unpriced drinks in cafe extremely expensive, which is fine but please post prices. Food from cafe was good however, and the Universal Resort bus system was top notch. Overall, the whole experience lacked in comparison to the places we stayed previously on this trip. We wouldn't have moved here, if Cabana Bay and Rosen weren't overbooked once we decided to extend our visit. We would absolutely stay at those two places again.

Breakfast had many options that were good. They even were great with dairy allergy and finding/making fresh alternatives for us. Staff is friendly and efficient at their jobs. The room could have been cleaner; there was hair on the floor in the bathroom and dirt around one of the beds. We let the room service in on our second day so they could clean and they only kind of made the beds ( I say kind of, because I had to find the fitted sheet and pull it all the way up after they made the bed) and gave new towels, and emptied trash cans. They didn't vacuum anything or wipe anything down. Other than that, our stay was good, loved the buses to get to all the universal parks.

The check-in process was very smooth. The lady at the desk was very nice, especially considering it was Christmas Eve. It was fast as well. The room was very clean, and very nice with a little kitchenette and dinner table available. We didn’t check out the amenities other than the shuttle to and from the park (easy rides with good driving) and the early park access (only one park but it was very nice to be able to ride two coasters within the hour with very little wait. I think we’ll try to stay here again during a summer visit and stay more than one night for sure to check out the pool and other onsite benefits.

For the price, the hotel is good. The customer service was great, and the rooms were clean. While the room finishes are basic, they are functional. A small fridge and microwave were a nice bonus. The hotel is super close to many restaurants, within walking distance. The park shuttle runs frequently, but because it is shared with the Dockside resort, the buses were always very full, with people standing in the middle. This made it seem unsafe. The pool was a good size with plenty of chairs and a poolside bar. If I'm on a budget, I would definitely stay here again.

The staff are super friendly and go above and beyond to provide excellent service and an enjoyable stay. The walls are thin - at 3 am on Sunday morning after Halloween Horror nights ended, a herd of teens rampaged through the building waking everyone and misbehaving. For quietest stay request top floor farthest from the elevator. Loved the smoked towels, clean rooms, and well appointed kitchenette. Clean and spacious - rooms are much bigger than at Portofino. Could use a few more food options like at Portofino.

We loved our stay here! The buses to and from universal were so convenient so we just had to pay for an Uber to and from the airport. This hotel has a Starbucks, a cafe where you can order food and packaged items like cereal and drinks, and they have their own universal store where you can get many of the items and promotional items they have in the parks. (They even still have the Bunty interactive wands other stores ran out of). Everyone was kind and accommodating to us! Rooms were clean!

We had a 2 bed studio which was perfectly spacious for the 3 of us althoigh as others mention storage wasnt great. There are 2 laundry rooms on the 4th and 7th floor which were really useful.

The cleanliness, staff, and ambiance were excellent, and we truly appreciated being upgraded to a suite at no additional cost—it was such a pleasant surprise and made our stay feel extra special. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. The only downside was the noise level. I could clearly hear footsteps and movement from the room above, conversations and activity in the hallway, and even noise from the adjacent room. While it didn’t completely ruin our stay, it did affect the peacefulness we were hoping for.
- 3/5
Overall, a nice value resort, with the key benefits being the transportation and early park access. The food options are ok (not a huge deal given easy alternatives for delivery), and the walls are pretty thin - especially when folks are coming back late on a Friday night, you can hear every word as they walk down the hall. One new annoying twist is that they've combined the bus for dockside and Surfside, which means a very crowded ride and sometimes not even getting on the bus because it's already so full from dockside.

From the moment we checked in (Marilyn went above and beyond to make us feel welcome) to the sad day we had to leave our stay was wonderful! Very friendly and accommodating staff. I will recommend this resort to all my family and friends.

Perfect for a family with two teenagers and two adults. Kitchenette great. Ease of access to all parks. Pleasant check in staff. Mini market fine for anything forgotten but big shops a cheap Uber away. Food basic and overpriced but not unexpected given the location. Housekeeping was a bit poor - had to ring down a couple of times and floor wasn't cleaned properly, but overall a good place to stay

Stayed 6 nights for a tournament and had neighbors that were loud all night. The rooms are incredibly small. Will not stay here again.

Absolutely loved this property! The 2bdrm 3queen beds was perfect for me and my three kid and my sister. The bathroom was a little snug but that’s ok! The eating area was perfect a cute little picnic table style and the kitchenette had a little sink, countertop, microwave and fridge. The pool was a decent size and they had pool toys for the kids to play with. Staff was very nice. My son lost his room key at universal and we were able to get it replaced since they are like souvenirs. The bus to get to universal was great and made it so easy! We will definitely stay again

Universal Resorts never disappointed me. Love the layout of the hotel, the brightness at the lobby and less crowded than Dockside

Another great thing is the early access to the parks. This was great! I will definitely be staying here again!

had to call the desk to have someone turn up the volume on our tv, as they only allow it to go up to level18..with no sound bar,was very hard to hear. The worker came up and mine you it was @8pm and said he’s not allowed to turn it up for us! Sorry not paying a few hundred dollars to hv to argue about the TV volume. Also the room needed to be wiped down better as the remote control was sticky. Other than that it was a decent place to stay.
