I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews but was delighted with the Surf Side Motor Lodge. Couldn't ask for a better location, staff was friendly as were all the other guests in the hotel. Had one of the best weekends of my life there. We will be back that's for certain. more

My stepdad is pretty frugal; he booked this motel for a weekend get-away for my mom, my sister and me. I was really nervous after reading the reviews about staying here. It wasn't as bad as some people say. The rooms were ok. Not spectacular. The beds were uncomfortable. The bathroom was small but functional. The air conditioner was great.... more

I don't care what anyone says, I thought Surfside was just fine. Now I didn't say it was a five star hotel, but it wasn't a roach motel either. The experience was fun, the price was low and I could see and hear the beach from the balcony. Me and my boyfriend went on Valentines Day and it was so... more

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
