Universal Orlando’s Value Inn and Suites – general information

Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites
Endless Summer Resort – Dockside Inn and Suites

Universal’s Value Inn and Suites hotels offer the most inexpensive of room rates (starting at just $99 a night, under the right promotions/conditions) but are also located geographically the furthest from the main Universal Orlando campus (where the parks and CityWalk are located) – in fact, they sit on their own 64-acre plot of land that the company refers to as its mid-campus, located some five minutes down the road. Endless Summer Resort is the name of the value hotel complex. Its two individual properties are Surfside Inn and Suites (which opened in 2019) and Dockside Inn and Suites (which will bow in two different phases throughout 2020).

Value Inn and Suites hotels offer select Universal benefits, including shuttle buses to the parks and Early Park Admission. However, they do not feature some of the perks that some of the Signature Collection and Prime Value Hotels properties boast: complimentary Express Passes, priority seating at restaurants, valet parking, 24-hour room service, and water taxi transportation to the parks.

Starting rates and room sizes vary: Sapphire Falls begins at $222 with rooms from 321 square feet; Royal Pacific at $337 and 335 square feet; Hard Rock Hotel at $386 with 375 square feet; and Portofino Bay leads with rates from $393 and rooms starting at 450 square feet.

The major difference between the prime value and value inn and suites categories is that many of the premier hotels offer complimentary Express Passes and priority seating at select restaurants. There are also some subtle differences between the two classifications, including some extra theming and slightly larger room sizes.
