This place is amazing. Clean and within walking distance to town/beach. They have a beautiful view front and back with free kayak and paddle boats. Real coffee maker in the room with is difficult to find these days. We walked to the Boat House for dinner and had a lovely meal. Then sat by the River in the back with a bottle of wine. It was perfect. The Motel provides plenty of lounging areas in the back along with a fire pit and cornhole.
This cute and charming hotel is within close walking proximity to East Tawas. The hotel is in a prime location just across the street from the beach and offered a perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo retreat, the Surfside Hotel is a gem that promises a delightful stay.
Everything was fresh and updated. Small, but efficient as one would expect for a motel. Grounds were extremely clean and well kept, updated. Check in and check out were a breeze. Towels, bedding pillows all in great condition. Flowers everywhere! Close to marina and all amenities, but far enough out of the center of town to not be in all of the summertime traffic. Great price! We will definitely be back.
We read about this motel on Trip Advisor and decided to give it a try. I called ahead to inquire about rooms. I was told that room #1 with the lake view was reserved, but two other rooms were available. I asked which one she would recommend? She told us, one room is larger, but room #5 has a wonderful view of the river even though it’s smaller. She was right! We had a beautiful view of the river AND the room was small, but had everything we needed. There was a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker, so we went to a local grocery store and purchased breakfast bowls. Perfect! We also took out a paddle boat and enjoyed a lovely trip out to the lake and down the river. The owners are friendly & helpful. We’d stay again if we ever find ourselves in Tawas City.
This little gem is amazing. It has access to Tawas Bay in the front of the property, but the truly great part is that it is that the back of the property sits on a river that leads out into the Bay. it is truly the best of both worlds. The rooms are clean, nice and very reasonable in price.
