The suites make up more than half the rooms at both Dockside Inn and Suites and Surfside Inn and can sleep up to six people. Outside of the rooms, Dockside Inn and Suites also has some awesome amenities. Florida residents can be among the first to stay at Dockside Inn and Suites.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – “After further review,” Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said he would vote against the current agreement with Universal Orlando to extend Kirkman Road connecting the theme park company’s future attraction, Epic Universe. Taxes from that district go toward road improvements in the tourist district instead of items for Orange County residents, such as police departments and schools. The Universal Orlando agreement with the county would extend the taxing district to 2040, continuing to route funds into the tourist district. The Orange County Board of Commissioners was set to vote on the deal Tuesday. Demings said in a statement Friday he won’t support the agreement as is and asked the commission to re-examine the end date on the taxing district.
