I don't see why people are saying this is such a bad hotel. When my mother and I stayed here, the service was great. We arrived on a Tuesday morning and booked one night. I believe we had poolside room 11. We didn't have much of a view, but we were on a budget and couldn't afford the upper rooms.... more

The only thing I can say was that it was on the beach. The room smelled really weird. The place just looked dumpy. Friendly staff, but the room was not worth $152 a night. That was $135 plus tax. The shower sucked in our room. I would have had more pressure using the water outside. (no outside shower provided. just... more

Me and my mom took my 5 year old son for one night, so we wanted somewhere cheap to stay, well we got it. We had planned on sleeping in the SUV and we wished we would have. We all only got 2 hours of sleep cause the bed was like sleeping on 2 by 4 boards and there was... more

If you are sitting at home, contemplating a romantic, spontaneous trip to the beach, do NOT book a room here. Heck, if you are planning a quick, cheap trip with the boys, do NOT book a room. In fact, if you relate best to Pigpen of Charlie Brown lore, even YOU do NOT want to stay here. This was the... more

I have never felt so unsafe in a hotel before. There was about 5 young guys hanging around the check in office that were not even staying there, they were hanging out with one of the employees, and playing loud music and drinking. When me and my friend were walking up to our room, they all stared at us the... more

Me and my friend stayed here over the weekend and the only thing good about the place was the location...the chain on the door was broken, the back patio door was held shut by a wooden stick and the window by the front door just slides open and had no lock...it was quite scary. we also killed 2 roaches while... more

My Husband and I stayed at SURFSIDE for the first time in June. Great walking distance to the Boardwalk and such, nice pool, and great service. On the other hand, the room was a bit dirty, bed was hard as a brick, and the shower head was so low i had to squat to wash my hair. If we were... more
