The included shuttle to CityWalk and the parks were a huge help. We used Uber to go everywhere else. Food was very good in the market and the refillable thermal mugs for the length of our stay were a great deal. Would recommend this resort for sure. Only complaint is the thin walls to easily hear other guests.

An excellent stay at Dockside Inn and Suites. Our holiday got off to the perfect start when we received a free upgrade to a 2 bedroom suite. That was a most welcome surprise! The hotel is very clean and bright throughout, while the food available in the Pier 8 Market is varied and very good. The staff are all friendly and helpful. One thing to consider when looking to stay at Dockside is how busy it can get. As one of the most affordable and therefore popular Universal hotels, Dockside receives a lot of guests and the lobby can often be extremely busy. However, this does not affect your stay in any major way and there is always plenty of room in areas such as the restaurant and around the pools. Overall, if you are looking for an affordable Universal hotel fir your Orlando stay, Dockside is a great option.
