Not so good
The bed and pillow were very comfortable. The linens were great including the towels, It was a few steps from the beach. That part was wonderful . Very old, maybe updated in the 70’s. Portable air conditioner that did not work well and was very loud. Dirty carpet . Musty smell. Slimy shower walls. Curtains hanging off the rod in places. I would not stay there again.

Close to the beach and fun things is the only nice thing I can say about this place. Oh, and the staff was pretty nice. The parking was expensive and should have opted for the free parking out front. Def not worth $200 a night for room condition and amenities... Think 2 star motel 6 vibe. zero luxury. The pool was nice... closes at 8 :/

We LOVE Surfer Beach hotel! We have stayed several times, and hope to be back many more. Our Allegiant gets in very early in the morning, the front desk is always friendly and helpful ( this time it was Lillian, very accommodating and nice), holding our luggage for us while we play until the room is available. Quick response to any requests. Step right out onto the beach. Walking distance to shopping, grocery store, and multiple places to eat. Great place to stay!

The location of Surfer Beach Hotel was the best thing about it. We were right on the beach and had access to areas for food and walking. We could watch the sunset from our balcony. And the pool temperature was perfect. My main issues would be overall cleanliness, getting a ticket when I paid for parking through a private company in their lot, and not getting internet access so we could have better TV options. Location would be the main reason I would stay here again.

Yes, hotel is on the beach. That’s the only good thing I can say. The head board had all kinds of stains, the shower was moldy. The floors were so disgusting, I wore my shoes the entirety of my one night stay. Luckily I was able to cancel my 2nd and 3rd night and book a new hotel.

I know its summer time, the ac in our room was not central, it was a LG with a tube connected to the wall, but over all it was good happy it was pet friendly room was good enough for me my son and 2 doggies, if youre look for fancy modern its not for you, i am not picky just the Ac got me thinking ehhh lol but we love area beach front view was awesome, we stayed in Junior suite i was comfortable with sofa bed and my son un the queen bed. I recommend. Oh cleaning is extra aside from your total stay and parking is extra for 2 nights 75 dollars unless u find free parking in the front entrance of surfers check in desk .

It was the perfect place to shower, sleep and head back out to the boardwalk or beach!! Location was excellent. Food and shopping within walking distance. Lillian at the front desk was so helpful. We wanted to upgrade our room to full ocean view with AC and she picked the perfect room. Parking was expensive and owned by a 3rd party is our only complaint. We will be back!!!
