“Wow!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2013

We came up for a weekend getaway to the Nordic Lodge. I was not looking for a big place to stay in. So I used Trip Planner. And I read all of the reviews. Even though the reviews were good. I still was apprehensive. Motels are always associated as being seedy, dirty places. When I arrived it was so cute... More

“We got exactly what we thought, and it was great!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 2013

We booked this hotel for 1 night during a house hunting trip. We were arriving after midnight but that was no problem as they arranged for the room to be ready. Know what you are buying. This is an old hotel like a holiday inn of the 50's. The room has a flat screen and a refrig. The shower is... More

“Affordable and clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 17, 2013

We spent one night at this little motel. It had amenities I wasn't expecting, like wifi and hair dryer. My brother's room had a little kitchen. The rooms were immaculate and quaint, with a bed, dresser, tv, mini fridge and closet organizer, a chair and bathroom with shower. Basic, but suited our needs perfectly. Debbie at the front desk was... More

“Value!”

Always clean, quiet, and affordable. Thanks for a great place to call home a few times a year. I always make it a point to stop here when I am in town for golfing, hunting, fishing or just visiting the area.

“Excellent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

The manager lives on the property which is worthy of note! I live about one mile from the motel. Family came in for our son's wedding and six family members stayed at the motel. I'd checked out several places, and when I was shown several rooms, I WAS IMPRESSED! The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and worth every penny of the... More

We were traveling to an open house at URI and it was last minute. I checked the web and Trip Advisor, as we usually do, and found Surfside. We arrived after 1130pm, they explained late check in procedures and the room was ready.The reviews didn't prove us wrong for choosing this motel. It is small, cute and there is attention... More

“Cleanest motel ever.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

We were having trouble finding a reasonably priced place to stay near Newport, and came across the reviews for Surfside. Most of them had mentioned the cleanliness of the rooms, and they weren't exaggerating. The bathroom floor literally sparkled. It's not new or fancy, and the walls are typically thin for a motel, but in my opinion I'll take a... More
