we have stayed here three times in four years and I am tempted not to review it because we like it quiet ha ha! This hotel is by far the best value we have found in the area. We prefer the one story building because it has little patio areas and gets the afternoon sun, it is an old building... More

Brandenton Beach - What a spot! Fanstastic location and people. Very friendly and quiet. Not pretentious though. If you are expecting a fancy place and service, go somewhere else. But if you want a little room with all necessary amenities, from a small kitchen, dishware, fridge et all for a nice, quiet vacation, that's the spot. Literally 5 minutes walking... More

We made last minute reservations here and the staff was quite accomodating and friendly. The room was $100.35 per night inclusive of tax (10.5%). It had: fridge, small electric stove, microwave, toaster, coffee pot, some basic cookery items, dinette with 4 chairs, queen size bed, a murphy bed, 2 sitting chairs, flat screen TV, and AC. It appears to have... More

This is NOT a fancy resort. It's a motel type place, and the term "throw back" fits it well. Feels like something out of the 60s, but so does the entire island, so it fits perfectly. Staff was very helpful; you will not find better. Rooms were adequate, but again, older... they were clean and comfortable, but could have used... More

We stay at the Silver Surf with our extended families every 4th of July weekend. We go back every year because of the price, the beach and the service! It is older, but clean. There is a lady across the street who will set up your umbrellas and chairs (no cost) and every room has a small kitchen so you... More

This place is directly across the street from the beach. They provide beach chairs and umbrellas plus there are jet skiis, sailboats and kayaks available right there. They also rent scooters. The hotel is older but well maintained. The hotel staff is very friendly and very helpful. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms. It was minimalist as described... More

We stayed here Spring Break with our teenagers because I waited too late to make reservations at another place. Those people recommended I contact Silver Surf. I was naturally nervous and researched the motel reviews online. The reviews were pretty accurate. The motel is older, but the people who run it do a nice job. Since we travel with 4... More

Although it seemed very clean given the age of the buildings, it could be a lot better. Although the owners try to provide a nice motel, the last round of renovations could have been done better. Bedding & furnishings were cheap and the soap dispenser in the bathroom was very creepy. The place seems to attract guests who enjoy sitting... More

We appreciate your comments and will take them seriously when making decisions on bedding and furnishings, which we do each year. We hope that you will consider our sister hotel, Bridgewalk located on Anna Maria... More

The hotel is across the street from the beach and close to the restaurants and shops. The trolley stop is in front of the hotel, very useful on the days of rain. The clening staff was very friendly. I was very happy that they folded our sofabed every day. The swimming pool was heated at night, that was very nice.... More
