My goal was to find an affordable dog accepting room with a perfect ocean view from my balcony. It was perfect for that need. The king sized bed was really comfortable. There was a refrigerator but no microwave (although stated), no chairs other than outside balcony, and the shower was pretty small and old. The location was perfect - never had to drive anywhere.

Old hotel on the boardwalk that is in need of a lot of TLC. Property is run down. Rooms are clean but beds and furniture are old. Check in was not available until 5pm. Staff promised to call when room was ready, but never did. I get that the location is on the beach but rooms are over priced for their condition

The best travel experience that my family has ever had!!! The place was clean and the staff was outstanding!!! Of course the view was unbeatable but the staff really made the stay that much better we even extended our vacations because we did not want to leave!! 10/10 I definitely don’t want to stay anywhere else after the experience we had at surfer beach hotel! Oh and the food from the world famous restaurant is just a cherry on top!!

The location is incredible. It is steps away from the sand. It’s attached to a great restaurant with numerous other options within walking distance. It was great. Kids loved it. Super secure and safe. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating to all of our needs including a late check out and storing our bags for a later flight.

This building has not been updated in years and it really shows. The beds and pillows are uncomfortable. There is no microwave. The TV channels were unavailable at times and CNN had no voice, just a picture. The staff was friendly and helpful.
