The staff was friendly. It was a fun location. They didn’t offer many TV programs and the quality of the picture was pretty blurry. Overall, we would recommend it and sure stay there again.

Stay on the beach
It was a quaint little place but right on the ocean, just like we were looking for. It's connected to two great restaurants and plenty more within walking distance. You can hear their music from the pool and the boardwalk, which I appreciated! Our AC was really loud and they took are of it right away. I could see my family on the beach and at the pool from the balcony which was convenient as well.

The view made it worth it!
We were celebrating a birthday and had the family suite. Spacious room wonderful ocean view. The property is old and dated.. you have to pay separately for parking in their lot. Location couldn't be better!

The hotel was very run down and the condition took us by surprise. That said, we suspect you are paying for a great location because there are a ton of activities and restaurant options. Additionally, the staff was super nice and accommodating.

Vintage Hotel with Top Notch Beach Access
The Surfer Beach Hotel is older and shows its age quite a bit, however you can't find a better location for the price. The service was amazing. If we needed anything at all, they were prompt to respond and very friendly.

Great location
The staff were great. The hotel is perfectly located. It's an older beach-side hotel so naturally it's got some wear and tear but its comfortable and great location.

Great location
We called ahead to request an early check in, staff suggested coming in to do paperwork & they would be able to assist with an early check in, but could not guarantee. Followed suggestion, went & grabbed lunch & got our room a couple hours early. Room was clean & had a beautiful view. LOVED the balcony & ocean view. Staff is super helpful. Property is in a great location. Parking is great, you do pay for it. Elevator is slow. Will certainly stay here again.

It was a great location and the front desk was helpful. Only thing was that it hasn’t been upgraded over the years and it’s a little run down. Otherwise, a good stay.

Over priced for what you get. Ocean view was mostly a view of the roof top below.
Room and bathroom are old and area is very noisy.
