I stayed at Universal Orlando's cheapest hotel for $105 a night. It was an absolute steal, and I'd book it again in a heartbeat.

On my recent trip to Universal Orlando Resorts, my daughters and I stayed at a value resort called Dockside Inn and Suites.Shutterstock

I recently booked a room at Dockside Inn and Suites, Universal Orlando's newest hotel.
After I applied a passholder discount, my 313-square-foot standard room cost just $105 a night.

Whenever I visit Universal Orlando, I stay at one of the eight resort hotels.
