Universal Endless Summer Resort - Surfside and Dockside Inn & Suites

[UniversalRBLX]

Thinking of trying to do a cheap long weekend in January - is Endless Summer actually worth the price bump over offsite hotels (some that are arguably closer to the parks)?

If you don't have an Annual Pass for free parking, maybe not? $30 a day might be the difference from an offsite/Endless.

I do have an AP, but we won't be driving.

As of right now, Quality Inn is coming in at $132 per night and Dockside is coming in at $156 per night.

I would say worth it. Much better pool/grounds and onsite food/snacks/gift shop for any odd hour needs.

Dockside has a lot of amenities that Quality Inn doesn't have like an multi-station counter service restaurant, 3 bars, and resort style pools. But for a budget conscious weekend, how many $15 drinks and how much pool time will you have?

Not a ton, lol.

Any pool time we have would be spent after the parks close!

I was just wondering how often Surfside and Dockside share shuttles and how often they are separate bus routes?

For opening/close they'll run separately, but during the day they'll run it for both hotels. I've also seen them run direct Dockside routes during the day, it really depends on just how busy the resort is as well.

Speaking from experience, Dockside and Surfside don't really share shuttles that often outside of those for Volcano Bay. In fact, Surf shuttles are far and few between compared to Dock, which almost always has one at either stop, and sometimes two or even three stacked at the CityWalk bus loop.

Without a doubt! Just being able to use the US bus alone would be worth it to me. Plus do not forget about the early park entry for staying onsite.

Just booked a suite here ... layout looks lot better to me than the suites at Cabana

They are. I kinda want the same room layout but there's a murphy bed and couch set up for those who want a mini-suite.
