My friends and I have been heading to the Surf Side Hotel for years. It is a nice hotel to stay in, is close to tourist sites and good dining, and has easy access to the beach. Staff are lovely. The only minor complaint has been that the old girl is starting to look well...worn. However, she is closing from Jan-Mar 2026 for a bit of a facelift, and we are excited to see her when she reopens.

We met our kids here for a three day vacation. We stayed in the Ocean Front corner unit and the view and sounds of the ocean were fabulous. Nice size room with a fridge, coffee maker and microwave. The only thing i was not thrilled about was the shampoo and conditioner. I just did not like the smell of it. Other then that everything else was perfect. I would certainly stay here again.
