"Maybe the value is in the rest of the hotel...maybe not." 🤣🤣 The fit change of just the socks & shoes had me rolling. Such a fun video. Tyler, I hope you had a great time & enjoyed the presidential suite. You absolutely deserve to have been in that room!
I’m assuming you didn’t spend the night in the first hotel. 😂 You deserve to have nice things- you work to make it happen. Love your humor!
I sure hope not! I would fear bed bugs, lol
Decorating used to be a good Motel tell the new owners took over it
Bed bugs are your friends. Don't hate the bugs.😅
Wow the first time I have disagreed with you on something you said. You DO deserve this!!! Keep killing it Tyler!!!
You absolutely deserve to be in that room. You work so hard to get where you are and bring a bunch of strangers' joy. Thank you! 😊
No one deserves anything. You just pay for the stuff you want.
Which presidential suite?? Are you still at Hard Rock.. you never made that clear.
It’s the Sapphire Falls, you can tell from the patio view. I assumed it was Royal Pacific at first.
Came here to say this … so ditto!
@@fightingminkjust say you’re miserable and go. There are many people in this world that work hard and deserve to be pampered.
That first hotel looks like something the characters in a zombie apocalypse movie would stay in
It had better days, legends tell it use to be a Hilton 😅
10 hangers? How do they turn a profit?
I know right!? Shocking amount of spending going on there. 😂
Your face for the doorbell was so sweet! You deserve it and we're so happy to see you enjoying that room
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
This is great! I wouldn't mind seeing a series on this with hotels around Orlando. Also would like to know 1. how much is parking, 2. how well did you sleep, 3. is breakfast included or what food service do they have, etc.
Stayed at Dockside last summer and loved it! Buses to Universal left every 15 minutes and we got to enter the park 1 hour before opening hours. Combined with a 3 day ticket that gave us 2 additional days in the parks, we got to skip waiting for so many rides.
I’m dying! 😂😂😂 This is the best, most hilarious hotel review ever. You are so funny. We need more of these types of videos!!
My parents used to take to me to that Floridian express hotel back in the day, think it used to be a holiday inn express. I thought it was the height of luxury 😂
Fun vid
Cool to see a comment from *the* Frugal Brit on here! This is the theme park hero crossover we needed, but we didn’t deserve 🦸♂️ Hope you’re keeping well FB
@@rentedrubbergloves😂 thanks
That is an insane coincidence! Thank you so much for commenting! I enjoy your content as well!
I love how you focused on the stuff that matters the most when it comes to a hotel stay, most reviews of hotels I've seen spend most of the time talking about the amenities, food, pool, and barely any time on the comfort of the mattress or the toilet paper being two ply, etc.
Tyler, you made me laugh out loud whenever I watch your videos. 😂 Thanks for the laughs and joy.
Your joy over the doorbell just made my heart so happy, lol. Congratulations on making it to the Presidential Suite!!! ❤
On another note,
Thank you for doing these hotel reviews videos.
If it wasn't for your initial videos when y'all covered these on-sites, we probably would have never stayed.
Now we can't imagine staying off property at all and honestly that includes Disney. The shuttle and convenience that is with these budget friendly hotels is crazy.. not to mention the actual price Endless Summer goes for being more than fair by itself as a hotel.
Truly appreciated and I'm glad you got a chance to stay in a dream room, you deserve it buddy! 🎉
Thanks Tyler we just got back from our Orlando vacation and all of your videos help us so much. We stayed at Dockside and it was wonderful, we paid 200 dollars a night for a suite for the five of us and it was perfect. They were so accommodating with my handicapped daughters wheelchair , we definitely will stay here again.
This may be my favorite hotel video of all time! ❤️
Firstly I do want to say that I love your videos, and they make me laugh every time!
I checked the price of Dockside, and it was $166 a night on a Tuesday in February, $100 for Florida Resident rate. Still a great hotel! If you ever find it for $80, it’s a steal!
Seriously ❤, you're awesome and you have the community that you do "because you are this person".
You are genuinely engaging. There's other Vloggers out there, some of them had it, and have now lost it. Others are incapable. It's risky, but just do what you do and be genuine and the rest will just happen....
THE SHOES 👞 😂😂
Gotta ask Orlando Informer to check out the Helios when it opens now!
Nothing better than seeing a new vid 1 min after release
The man, the myth, The Pugh Dude!
Let’s make this a shirt
This is the perfect time for this video. Been watching nothing but hotel videos trying to plan a trip for next year 😊
I am so happy that you got to try out that Presidential suite😊 It looks close to the same size as my house, lol. The view from the balcony is chef's kiss! That being said, Dockside is my go to when I'm on a budget, and Aventura is my current fave--slightly higher price point, but has access to the water taxis🛥 Universal knows how to do hotels right.
I don't think I could leave behind those chairs! They were gorgeous, and looked so comfortable. I'd just hide one behind me while checking out, very casual.
@@BlueM-o2bNothing to see here, lol😅
Spellcheck: In today's video, I visit different hotels at Universal Studios Orlando ranging from $50 - $2500/night. I stayed in every room at every price point from the cheapest offsite hotel to the presidential **sweet** (*suite) so you don’t have to. Come see which room you think is worth it!
That’s what happens when you use text to speech. Woof nice catch
4:51 whenever I went to Orlando a actually stayed at dockside and tbh I LOVED it!!!
This is a great video for people that don't want to or can't afford to stay on property.
i think this channel is for folks into this gentleman’s brand of humor. that being said, i’m sure plenty of people are indeed.
That’s probably true for all channels and media outlets, no?
That first hotel is the standard "I'm hear to sleep, I don't care what it looks like" that contractors use in between jobs.
When you preform the slap test and it doesn't feel like you slapped something, you know you're going to have a good nights sleep.
"Here’s my "NOT A RED BACKPACK" for size!" 😉😂😂 I can always count on a Tyler video turn my whole day around! I smile the whole time and you crack me up!! Thank you!!! You're doing such a great job on all of these videos! 💜💚
One thing you should've included in your videos should've been Florida resident vs non-resident. Because this video had me wanting to book a room and then I see it's typically $100 more than you're claiming since you're getting the resident cost. That aside I love your videos and because of them you point out a lot of pros and cons that help me plan a trip so keep up the great work.
This is slap test heaven!!! 😂
Love it!
Also, thank you for including the TP test, that's honestly a good thing to note. Lol
That presidential suite is absolutely insane!!
Oh my goodness, the presidential suite 😍😍😍😍 great video Tyler!!! 🫶🏻
PS - you 100% deserve it Tyler! Keep it up 🩵
Lol headboard marks!
🤐
I just stayed at Dockside with my family for 7 nights. It was comfortable and definitely worth the price. The staff is amazing. I will be staying there again. ❤
Nice rooms, and the food too. I'm sure you were thinking it would of been 10X better there if Anna was still with you. I miss seeing her in your videos. It was a Heartbreaker seeing you 2 break up. I hope maybe you two can get back together 1 day.
“That’s 10 times the hangers” had me cackling
😂😂😂
Tyler I have been waiting in this one!!!! I personally can’t think of a better person that Absolutely deserves the presidential room.❤❤ . You have worked so hard this year and as a big fan I’m very proud of you. 😊😊😊
Btw I am out on the offsite hotel. $75 or not I can’t ……..😂😂😂😂😂Keep up the great work, buddy.😊😊😊😊
Wow that last room was stunning 😍
I love Dockside!! ❤
Hell of a video man! Also wanted to say absolutely loved on the new FYA podcast, thank you for bringing universal and Florida to us living in the frozen tundra of Canada
Absolutely right about the quality of that presidential suite at Sapphire, and the "What am I doing here?" vibe. They're so awesome they actually upgraded me to it because we had noted our anniversary was the reason for stay and it was a slow night. It's about a 60' balcony and breakfast on it is mandatory. Sapphire became my favorite Universal hotel because of that insane customer service move. Truly above and beyond.
This is an awesome & helpful video for me! I grew up in Florida, lived in Hawaii over 20 years & am planning a trip in December for my son & I to visit Epic! I definitely want to stay in the new hotels, maaaaaybe Helios for the novelty of being IN the park.
Helios is going to be amazing! I can not wait!
What a fun video! I’m glad you got to stay in the presidential room with your fancy shoes lol
“That’s 10x the hangers” 😂😂😂
😂😂
So nice to see genuine gratitude for life’s blessings! I think that makes you extra deserving!
Love these videos about hotels! They are sooo useful for us coming from abroad. Thanks!
I love Bockside. Have stayed at Surfside also
Great video!!!! Loved it! It seems like the spark and love you had for vlogging is back! So happy to see it!
For an overnight stay while traveling, I would stay in the first hotel. I learned, after 20 years, my wife would not. In June/July Royal Pacific is more, for four people, including the Express Pass Unlimited, than 500.Still, worth the money if you are time constrained. Lightning shuts down the boats. From the two of us, myself and 4 children, to my family of 10 (in 3 rooms)this year, we are staying at Royal Pacific again.
Loved this! I was very glad I had my office door shut when you go into your fancy clothes for the suite. 🤣
You definitely deserve it. You seem like such a genuine person. Have no plans to go to Universal and still never miss a video. Great videos! Keep it up. Not a lot of Universal Studios channels.
That room was amazing. You’re more than deserving of that room, don’t sell yourself short. Sapphire Falls was one of my favorite hotels. We’ll be at Aventura tomorrow.
You 100% deserve everything you’ve worked so hard for! It hurt my heart to hear that you didn’t deserve to be in that room. You continue to make amazing content that is entertaining and informative that’s why brands want to work with you. You’ve had to rebrand this channel after going through heart break and you succeeded at it and that’s not something a lot of people could do. So enjoy the shit out of that hotel room because you deserve it!
Staying at Dockside for our first ever trip in September and was really struggling to find up to date videos of the hotel, what a treat! Even more excited now😍
Great video - I always wanted to preview the inside of some of these hotels but now after seeing your video, I think I’m ready to book my stay in the near future.
Thank you!
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I love your vibe man! Definitely gained a subscriber!
My wife and I are planning to go to HHN this year since we missed last year and we’ve never stayed onsite at Uni so we’re definitely going to look into Dockside/Surfside and Sapphire Falls!
Definitely choose Sapphire Falls, you won't regret it & For the value, I'd say it's worth it
I’ve been dreaming of staying in that exact presidential suite for several years. It will never happen for me but i’m glad you got to stay there.
Great see how far you've come! Found your stride and you own style. Keep up the good work brother x
My favorite part was in the second hotel when the ladies on the TV commercial were looking over at you perfectly for your recording 🤣🤣
Ive watched many disney and universal room tours and this has got to be my favorite lol you are absolutely hilarious keep crushing it!
I’ve decided I don’t want to go cheap on theme park hotel rooms. I went to Universal/Disneyworld last year for a week and I was pretty sick and spent a lot of time in the room. I was lowkey wishing I was staying at a deluxe resort instead of the All Star resort. Great video as always, though. I hope you had a lot of fun at the hotels you stayed at!
We stayed at Sapphire our first trip, and Hard Rock the second. I felt like the upgrade for Hard Rock was worth it because of the included express passes. Unfortunately,I missed most of our vacation because I came down with shingles the 2nd day we were there. That said, the room was comfy enough that it wasn’t a complete loss
Tyler great video keep ‘em coming!! You DO DESERVE all this and more!! Keep on keeping on 🥰🙏🏼👍🏼🎉
Sapphire Falls, man. Just a wonderful hotel experience. Impeccable theming, great dining, and the comfiest beds
That second mirror moment made my day. Also a big fan of the slap test
That little hop you did when your “ little more fancy” happened in the Presidential Suite and the shoes and socks ! 😅
Another great video for the books! I shared it on my Facebook!
LOVE this video!!❤ you had me cracking up from the start! That first hotel though…scary. That would be a great haunted house/maze though 😂
Loved this video and I'm so happy you got to enjoy that amazing room ! Well deserved for making so many people smile.
Which hotel had the presidential suite you featured? Sorry if I missed it. Great video, as always!! The giddy excitement my hubby and I feel when we know there's a new video out is INSANE!! We appreciate you!!
Sapphire Falls also.
We've stayed at The Floridian Express many times before we became parents. Was it comfy or clean? No... but we had a place to crash. Lol. Now that we have a child... it's only Universal properties. Safety is number 1.
Thanks for the video!
Sapphire Falls is my favorite and I LOVE the tile in the bathroom!
How’d you know I was always thinking about minions tots?! 😅
Aventura is the best! You don't need to stay at Sapphire Falls to use the water taxi. Its a quick 2 min walk to the water taxis, and its got its own private entrance to Volcano Bay. Super futuristic and fun, with less kids so it can be more relaxing if that's your vibe. Literately get the perks of every hotel minus the unlimited express passes. Great video Tyler!
Yayy new video this day just got better
I love Surfside! As a solo traveler who doesnt need EPs or the use of the water taxis, Surfside is perfect for my needs. I've stayed there several times and will continue to do so. May try Stella or Terra eventually down the road.
You so deserve this, so proud for you!! Thank you for turning around a hard morning. I love the outfit change. Your the best. I hope you fully enjoyed every minute of that experience. Orlando Informer folks are amazing, I so glad they are working with you. Great Match!!!
I die every time you do the slap test 😂😂 THE DETERMINATION AND SERIOUSNESS OF IT ALL 😂 Thank you for another fun video, Tyler! 😊❤
"What do you get for $50?" Bedbugs, Tyler, you get bedbugs 😂
Fun and informative as always. Thank ya!
The chair 😂😂😂
You’re so funny. Between the squeaky chair and the fancy shoes I was laughing so hard. (Bet those shoes made getting out of the tub a breeze. 🤣)
Okay, I didn't expect to laugh when watching this. Thank you for the video!
Great job with this video! It was so much fun to see the comparison! Love the backpack measurements of the tv! Clever, effective, and hilarious! You are so funny!!!!
Love the socks 😂 Brilliant, as always.
Stayed in the pres suite at Sapphire for HHN last year. The best experience!
This video is so valuable, thank you Tyler 😊
Best part of the water taxi is that there is security at the hotel since the boats dock inside the security perimeter. So you don't have to wait in the long security lines just to get into Citywalk.
I really enjoyed this video. Shout out to Orlando Informer! They are great folks. Water pressure is our second most important thing after the bed. And our dream USO rooms are the kids suite at SF and the minion room at PF.
Can’t think of anyone who deserves it more. Thanks for letting us follow along!
You ABSOLUTELY DO deserve to be in that room!! If anyone deserves it, it's YOU!! 💙 I've spoken with you a couple of times in the park, and you are genuinely the sweetest person. It's been a while since I've watched your videos, but I am trying to catch up on them. 😁
😂 I absolutely love your videos! Keep on being you! I love that you rated the "$50" room
😂🎉❤great video Tyler! Haha funny and entertaining and informative! Keep doing what you’re doing! Thanks for posting! ❤
honestly I do think about minion tots a lot😂 I couldnt get over how cute they were when I went, and also the pet rock!!
Your videos make me so happy!
Love your hat, Tyler! TN native myself. Keep the videos coming!
I've been really enjoying your newest videos, thank you for providing this content!
I love me some MINION TOTSSSSS 😂
“Please don’t raise the price “😂 facts lol
As soon as I said it I realized my mistake lol
