Surfside Inn and Suites is one property within Universal’s Endless Summer Resort, a dual hotel complex with Dockside Inn and Suites. Set across the highway from the rest of Universal Orlando Resort, it will be alongside a new park that Universal is opening in the next few years. The entire hotel follows a surf-theme with nods to places like Hawaii, California, and Australia.

The hotel is the best for families as the rates are the most affordable of any of the Universal hotels. There are also multiple room types, including the two-bedroom suite that allows families to spread out.
Suites come with mini-fridges, microwaves, coffee makers, and seating areas if you’d like to prepare snacks before heading to the parks. Some floors also have vending machines for essentials and guest laundry facilities.
