We have been using Surf Suites several times a year for many years. The facilities are a little tired and basic, but the rooms are clean and spacious, with a small kitchen and separate bedroom. Parking is also great. It is just a 1 minute walk from the Oceanic restaurant. Each room is decked out slightly differently...some have TVs where there is streaming access. Staff are always helpful. Location and beach access are hard to beat!

This hotel was perfect for our needs. Great beach and pool. A mile walk to stores/ shops but great coffee shop across the street and seafood restaurant next door. We loved the full kitchen. The doors to the bathroom and bedroom stick so very loud every time we opened a door. Also I think pool towels should be provided since ours from home were constantly too wet. Housekeeping and front desk staff both excellent. We would stay again.

I loved staying at the surf suites . The best part was the view of the ocean with nothing in between. Wonderful beach for swimming and walking. Full kitchen, living room, full bath. Everything was very clean. Staff was great. I will definitely stay there again!

There has been a fairly recent renovation and the room overall was nice, but there were no towel racks to hang towels up on. Pull out bed was dirty and uncomfortable. The filth underneath the pullout on floor was nasty. When we checked in, we did not have the option of choosing a room. This was the same problem online when booked through Expedia. Was informed *at check in* that IF we had called 24 hours in advance, they could’ve accommodated a room request for something other than the ground floor, where they put us despite vacancies on higher floors. This should be made apparent on their website AND Expedia. Beach VERY crowded on Saturday but other days ok. Oceanic restaurant is right next door. Food was excellent but service was terrible. Took 40 minutes to get just our drinks! Despite all the issues, I’d go back but call ahead to request room. Hopefully if manager sees this, they will do some deep cleaning and install towel bars. And be more transparent on website about room requests.

We love that all the rooms have balconies that face the ocean. It’s only 4 floors high so the higher the floor, the better for the view. We were on floor 2 right in the center and it was nice but floor 4 in the center would be best. We were able to check in early which was great. Right on the beach - love that. Only complaint would be how loud it was very early in the morning from some housekeeping carts maybe? rolling by outside. SO loud. (It’s like a motel with all the doors on outside halls). Also, the bedrooms are on the outside hall, not on the beach — the living room is where you can see the beach. Kind of a bummer to not wake up and see the ocean. Still, we’d stay here again for the convenience.
