“Don't expect to have a good night's sleep.”

Sep 20, 2025fr444ncesca

I'm writing this at 12:28am while laying in bed at Dockside. I can't sleep because of how loud it is here. The walls are so thin you can here any slight noise your neighbours make, including walking down the hallway outside. Not only that, but I can hear people walking down the hallway on the floor above us too. The doors are so heavy they slam loudly when closing so that also wakes me up. Currently getting annoyed at hearing the woman next door talk, it's like she's in the room with me. The refrigerator is incredibly loud, not sure if that's just ours in our room or not, but it doesn't help. Also, our room faces reception (we are on the 6th floor) and outside wakes me up too. Whether it's cars speeding down the main road or buses driving past the main lobby, I've been woken up many times now and this is our 5th night here. It's a great hotel when it comes to location for Universal, and it's a cheaper price to stay on property, but I have not had one good night's sleep which I think is really important for long park days. I find myself yawning all day while out at the parks.

“Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at.”

Sep 19, 2025Liam B

Extremely poor customer service. This is the third time I have stayed here and by far the worst (and last). I would not recommend this place to anyone. We were moved room due to noise from above, only to be moved to a room with noise - clearly it’s an issue with the hotel and not guests. We requested housekeeping every day but had to chase front desk to change bed sheets. They changed them to sheets with stains on them (sheets and pillowcases). Asked for them to be changed before we returned for the evening which wasn’t done. On top of all of this, when we tried to raise a complaint with front desk we were told we had to give ‘feedback’ through guest services from our phone in the hotel room. Absolutely shocking service from a hotel that is supposed to be part of the universal resort. At the parks we are told that ‘happiness awaits’ - sleeping in the stained sheets of other guests while being woken up at all hours is not what I would call happiness! I will not return to this hotel and I would advise people to stay clear of it too. Extremely disappointed.

“Great staff, challenging for ADA mobility”

Sep 18, 2025CINK153

HUGE resort, two towers with rooms which holds thousands of people. After acclimating I realized it basically had 1 elevator per tower. It was a really long walk to it from our room, which was basically at the end of the hallway, requiring me to use my scooter rather than walking as I normally could. I am mobility challenged; seeing that distance at the beginning or end of the day was intimidating. I saw a woman on crutches who had to stop half way as she was in pain; it's a long distance from one end of the hallway to the other end where the elevators are. Even if you don't need ADA support, if you are mobility challenged I recommend you ask for a room close to the elevators, or pick a smaller venue to stay in. Staff was great and really responsive.
