Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent
"We usually stay elsewhere in Orlando, but once in awhile we'll stay here as a treat. The continuous shuttle service is awesome for when you want to go to a park, come back midday to rest or have a meal, then return to the park later. Or during Horror Nights or other occasions when you want to stay late. Most hotels in the area that offer shuttles stop running before 9pm. Hands down better than taking a ride share or parking at the parks. The two room option has a sink and microwave in addition to fridge and picnic table, which was perfect because we had some breakfast items and restaurant leftovers we ate in the room before heading out. Pool is huge and has plenty of loungers. Check in and out is quick and courteous and you can text with any questions day or night. Best of all is the early park admission, a great way to ride the ride you always want to ride, but don't want to wait 90 minutes for. Great vacation and totally worth it!"
