The Surfside Resort hotel has a very nice website. Unfortunately, when you arrive at the location in Atlantic City, N.J the accomodations that you thought they provided do not exist. This hotel look as if it was built in the early 1950's without any upgrading to property starting with the rooms and ending with their vending machine. Overall, I will... more

This place is just GROSS. It is so run down and has the worst people hanging around it all the time. We saw the same people sitting at the same place for at least 16 hours non-stop. The bar/club there is really stupid and trying to be something it is not. Save your self time and aggravation and stay/spend time... more

My partner and I have stayed at Surfside 3 times in the past few yrs, we've always enjoyed our stay and never had any complaints, we dont need the best of everything to have a good time nor are we spoiled and complain about too much. We will be going back to A.C this August and will be staying at... more

My boyfriend and I were planning a trip to AC for the night. It was last minute, but we wanted reservations at a hotel before we left. It was a Saturday night, so almost all the major casino's were priced in the 250-500s. I came across the Surfside Resort Hotel, but 'resort' it is not. I looked at the pictures... more

I must admit I stayed here before. The 1st time was Memorial Day weekend. It was the only hotel w/ any rooms(for real). We paid $200.00 for the "deluxe" suite. The floor was soaking wet by the bathroom. Forgetting my girlfriend was passed out nude I asked the male clerk to come to the room...mind you he had already been... more

This may be hard to believe but this hotel should be closed or fined as you will see after I am through with this review and the Atlantic City Chamber of Comerce contacted. Upon checkin the female desk clerk could not check me in because she did not know how. She requested no I.D. or signature @ all. I later... more

This hotel has to be the biggest dump on the planet. It is so bad its something out of a movie. The room smelled, the place is filthy, the City itself is a complete dump as well. If you have no place else to go, BRING YOUR OWN SHEETS, PILLOWS, AND DISSINFECTANT FOR THE BATHROOM. If we didnt bring our... more

My boyfriend and I had read the mixed reviews & attributed the negative ones to fussy travelers. Our room was $130 booked at high season, and the price beat other chain hotels by $20-30. The big sign at the desk stating "NO REFUNDS" says it all. Upon climbing the stairs in the narrow stairwell & walking down the dingy dank... more

I first visited the Surfside resort a year ago in July of 2004. I gave it an excellent review then mainly for value for price paid. I was alarmed to see 3 terrible reviews posted here of the Surfside after my stay. I decided to try it again for July 2005 thinking if it is really that bad I would... more

I was not informed that the pool was not open yet when I made my reservation. The room was small. I have been in phone booths bigger than the shower stall. Two of the four bath towels were dirty. But these were not the worst of the problems. The worst problem was the DJ spinning records less than 50 feet... more
