My husband I stayed here in April 2013 and was thoroughly impressed. We parked car and were able to walk everywhere we went. The location of this hotel was great, the service was amazing and the staff was very pleasant. Brenda - the general manager was so friendly. Even on the first floor where we didn't have an ocean view,... More

This is in an excellent location, close to the boats, ocean and boardwalk. Excellent view, we was treated like family from the office staff to the housekeepers. We got everything we asked for. The room was very clean. I have no complaints about my stay at Surfside, planning on returning very soon.

We stayed in this motel in March 2013, we chose it because of the price. I guess we should have known better ( you get what you pay for). The view from the balcony was lovely but the room smelled musty and stale, the carpet was old indoor /outdoor. The bed felt like it had metal springs and squeaked whenever... More

If you're desire is for elegance, then this is not your place. If you're wanting breathtaking views, charming and clean lodging, warm and personable staff and the beach a stone's throw away, then you'll receive all you paid for and more.
