Room was clean, staff was great, great location, will definitely stay there again..
Staff was super friendly. They upgraded us to an oceanfront room for free since they had availabilities, I didn't even ask for it! Location is perfect, right on the beach in the middle of all the action. Fell asleep listening to the waves

I love surfer Beach Hotel. It’s close to Woody’s and the duck dive bar and restaurant.
Ocean view was fantastic. We were right in the boardwalk. Everything (dining, shopping and entertainment) was accessible. I will definitely be coming back and staying there. The staff was amazing as well.
The room was clean and the staff were very nice. We arrived early and they let us check in as soon as the room was cleaned. The location was fantastic!

The staff were first class, and went out of their way for us. Everything is close by, beach front with a great paved walkway, and restaurants close by. Would definitely recommend.

The view was terrific, even with the restaurant roof right in front of the room.
Room was clean and roomy. Bed was comfortable. Location was excellent. We had a balcony room with beach /ocean view. Nice restaurant right in back and we were right on the boardwalk, with plenty of shops and small restaurants. Not the classiest name brand hotel, but it was everything we wanted.

The staff were great as always and the room had been updated.
Amenities, no microwave as indicated in ad. We could have used towels and soaps, and kleenex. The gentleman who checked us in was great. Not sure his name, but he was very helpful.

It was nice to be close to the beach but the room was just okay. There was a smell and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable.
Beautiful stay right on the beach with very helpful and friendly staff! Especially Elijah, he was a huge help throughout our stay! Would stay here again 100%!!
