Nice hotel. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Bed covers a bit tattered but servicable. Easy access to transportation

Amazing

Overnight stay

The Dockside Inn at Universal was a very comfortable hotel. We loved our spacious room and the pool area was gorgeous!

Overall we were extremely pleased and impressed with Dockside. Only thing was the bed was uncomfortable which made for a sleepless night. BUT everything else surpassed our expectations and we will definitely stay again.

Everything was good & the housekeeping staff was great. I would encourage you to have bracelets for room keys. Keeping up with that card everywhere is a terrible!

It was a nice room, but for sure at least it would be great if it had a microwave

Very friendly staff, clean and beautiful

It’s a great location and has lots of amenities. However, it’s not a relaxing hotel. Lots of people running around, lots of noise, and restaurants are busy. So if you are looking for a convenient location as a top priority, this works great. But if you want quiet and relaxing, you may want to look elsewhere.

Always a great stay at this hotel. Convenient to Universal.

our stay was good, the only negative thing was that housekeeping didn't clean our room at all in our stay.

It’s always amazing staying at dockside. The rooms are clean spacious and comfortable and the food is great.

Amazing

Very enjoyable would definitely return

Great location. Clean and great on site amenities

Our stay was great, the pool area was kept clean at all times, room was very clean and spacious!

WHAT YOU GET FOR OVER $300 A NIGHT No valet and charged valet prices to self park No bellman to help with luggage upon arrival No room service No food service or servers at pool Understaffed pool bar with wait times exceeding 20 minutes for a drink Can’t have door dash, Uber Eats delivered directly to room, must pick up in the lobby Can’t charge to room without first pre paying and this isn’t told at check in

Everyone was wonderful, room was clean. Beds had thin blankets and could hear everything going on in the hallway at night, even with a noise machine next to my head. We did only stay one night so may have eventually gotten used to it. Other than that was nice.

Great hotel with lots of amenities.

We understand that it is a value resort but a few littke things could make it a lot better. 1. Move the smoking area. We were in tower two and had to walk through the smoking section in the outdoor area. 2. Make the pool area more fun. Every little toy ball someone tried to play with was whistled at and made to remove. 3. Add some kind of closer food option for the pool or make it more convenient to get food. 4. Better cleaning of the room. The beds were made, towels restocked, and coffee restocked but floors were not cleaned and dirty towels not removed.

Hotel was perfect for families. Two bedroom suite slept up to 6. Pool area was nice and not crowded. The onsite Starbucks and Pier 8 Market had great selections for food. Shuttles ran consistently, we never had to wait from the hotel or from Universal.

Dockside was awesome! We stayed 5 days. Check in was smooth, the staff was very helpful. The shuttle service to Universal Studios made our vacation even better. The early access benefit was such a gift and allowed us the jumpstart we needed to enjoy the rides ahead of the long lines. Despite the crowds the ride to & from the parks was always smooth. The 2 bedroom was just right for our family of 4 (2 young adult kids). We were on the top floor in Tower One wonderful view of Volcano Bay and fireworks at night. And of course the pool (also great!) The food was sufficient from the Market cafeteria downstairs and was really helpful when the weather started. We didn’t have to leave the resort but for little things. Ride shares had their own lane right in front of the resort. We were walking distance from restaurants, other entertainment, shopping etc; even when the elevators became packed the wait wasn’t too long and the ride up was pretty fast. Gated parking area and garage both a plus. Overall lovely place, family friendly and safe. We will definitely be back.

Overall, the hotel was great! I could have checked out with a text message, but I didn't have any reply about check out, so I needed to go to the reception.

This hotel is good for a few days at Universal, but I would not want to stay here for a full week. The room is small but worked well for our family. The food is okay, not great, but lots of choices for picky eaters. The service was very good - the hotel staff kindly ran a first aid kit up to our room to handle a minor injury. Everyone was nice.

Overall, the Dockside resort was very convenient for our trip. The buses to the parks are very convenient and the amenities at the hotel were great as well. My only complaint would be that the door is thin between rooms and can let a lot of noise from the neighboring room in.

Hotel is close to universal parks and there are shuttles every 10mins till 1am. You get early entry for staying here. Lobby was spacious with plenty seating and hang out places. Restaurant was good with plenty of choices and there are restaurants in walkable distance (10mins). Rooms were small with little storage space. Pool is big with a sand beach

The resort was at capacity, and there were many school groups staying there which made the elevators and other common areas challenging at times. Breakfast opened at 7am, which seems awfully late, and pair that with the first shuttle to the Universal parks starting at 7am, meant that you either went without breakfast or had to get the day prior. The facility was nice and modern, some areas in the room were already showing their age (it’s only been open for a few years). We would likely not stay at this property again.

Perfect for our Universal holiday

this was my first time trying out a universal stay and dockside did not disappoint! amazing friendly staff throughout the hotel. dining was really great, lots of options, all at a great price.

Everything was great except when taking a shower plumbing sounded like it was going to burst and water pressure was pulsating.

Friendly staff, clean. A bit noisy but it's quite normal during holidays

Great place to stay in Orlando. Easy to get to universal parks on the hotel bus. Cafe was well stocked and reasonably priced with many options. Daily housekeeping kept us in great shape.
