6/10 Okay

Deborah and Tom

Disliked: Amenities
We were disappointed that we were on the lowest level as a couple in a Master suite. It did not seem special like the view from up above would feel. Also up above seemed like it would have more light. But we were told by receptionist that only 2 and more bedrooms were up above. The little patio was dirty, unswept. The office/lobby/ cafe was closed in the evening so no where to get waterbottles, snacks or any food. We did love eating dinner at Bluefin down the road but felt like there should be something available at Surfside after the cafe closed at 3:00. It seemed like Bluefin is more special but to stay there was already booked for our timeline. In comparison Surfside seemed very disappointing.
