Those maps are on par with the concept Uni have us. Although the parking lot hotel could change a bit.

Endless Summer sounds like a marketing campaign.
Idk why they don’t just label each hotel as separate

I noticed the cup but not the door. If I get bored enough, I’ll make a spot the difference game with pics from Universal.
Disney has 2 different sets of hotels marketed under the same brands (All-Stars, Port Orleans).
I don’t understand why people have a problem with this
I think it sounds like a teenage romance novel.
While I agree this is a promo rate, it would not be beneath Comcast corporate to accept losses on this for years as a strategy to run competition out of business. If they have plans on having another 10-20,000 rooms online on the South property by 2023 or so, I could see them starting to squeeze the budget hotels out now. It would take a few years to fully run them out, so the timing is right.
The link to the British site that started this today has Surfside as the one that is bookable and is by the lake.
It's interesting seeing the reaction to the wooden floors. When the artwork was released for Aventura, the wooden floors got slated for how loud they would be to the guests below. I like the suitcase under the bed idea for space saving.
That concept art looks like it was pulled right out of the pages of PB Teen magazine... I love it.

This. Makes me wonder if the plan isn’t to eventually buy up more of the property around the lake for more “Endless Summer” resorts? I would think any land along Universal Blvd would be given some thought to acquisition.
The “grouping” isn’t my problem, it’s the name itself.
I thought it was hot, not as hot, and rain
I thought it was a Beach Boys album or something...never listened to them nor did I ever see that movie
Oh, I was reading multiple pages...I thought the talk about the photos was that you can see some of the pool out the window...
As for rates, everyone talked about it...pretty sure when CBBR opened, they were thinking around $80 a night...hotel type surge pricing has played out since then.
To me, these will have a great price point if they can’t fill rooms, but if they can...I think i’ve been shown rates something like $300 when trying to book a last minute weekend at CBBR.
If they can maintain that loss for a couple of years and put it across all queen rooms then a bunch of other properties in that area will suffer. Could be a move to pick up more land at distressed rates.
I wonder what the debt load is on the surrounding properties, if they can't service it then a savvy communications company with great cash flow looking to spread their real estate holdings just may be able to pick up a bargain or two.
