The lobby looked spacious, open and clean. There is a Starbucks and a quick serve restaurant in the lobby. There is also a large pool just outside the lobby. I loved the looked the hotel so far!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75748\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75748\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-75748 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Starbucks-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Endless Summer\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Starbucks-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Starbucks.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-75748\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Starbucks in the Lobby<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We spent two nights in one of the 2-bedroom suites. Our room was on the 6th floor, at the far end of the hall, so it was quite a hike with our luggage. Later on, we discovered that there was a slight shortcut from the parking garage to one of the back doors of the hotel, but it was still a bit of a walk. The advantage of the location of our room was that we had an exciting view. We were also away from the hustle and bustle of the lobby.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75749\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75749\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-75749\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/View-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/View-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/View.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-75749\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View from Our Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>The Room<\/h2>\n<p>Our room was very spacious! There is one bedroom with two beds, a tv, a kitchenette, and a table. There is a second bedroom with one bed and an additional tv. The sinks were located between the two bathrooms, with the shower and toilet in a separate space. I liked the set up because there was plenty of room to move around and it made getting ready in the morning easy, even with 3 people in the room. Plus, we all got our own beds!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75753\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75753\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-75753 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Beds-2-400x299.jpg\" alt=\"Endless Summer\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Beds-2-400x299.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Beds-2.jpg 577w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-75753\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Main Bedroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Essential toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, and soap were included. The room also had a hair dryer, something I always look for. I thought the beds were comfortable and the linens were ok. They weren&#8217;t heavy, which in Florida, is usually a good thing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75751\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75751\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-75751 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Kitchen-2-400x299.jpg\" alt=\"Endless Summer\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Kitchen-2-400x299.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Kitchen-2.jpg 577w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-75751\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kitchenette<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I was very happy with our room overall, except for one thing. The towels. I&#8217;m not going to sugarcoat this at all. These towels are pretty much the cheapest that money can buy. They were so awful that I actually said, out loud, &#8220;If I never stay in this hotel again, it will be because of these towels.&#8221; I believe my mom used the word &#8220;sandpaper&#8221; when describing them. They were that bad. I hope they get an upgrade in the near future because I thought the room was a great, especially considering the price we paid.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75755\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75755\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-75755 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Shower-2-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"Endless Summer\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Shower-2-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Shower-2.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-75755\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Private shower and Toilet Area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Traveling to the Parks<\/h2>\n<p>Getting to and from the parks is relatively easy. There is bus transportation available to Universal and City Walk. If you have a car and want to venture off property, I-4 is a little more cumbersome to get to from Endless Summer than from some of the other Universal hotels, but it is still close by.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed my stay at Endless Summer Surfside Inn and Suites. Before writing a review of a hotel, I always ask myself if I would stay in the hotel again. I would certainly stay here again because it was comfortable, convenient, clean, and a great deal&#8230;but I would certainly bring my own towels!<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you stayed at Endless Summer Surfside Inn and Suites?
