Underrated beachside motel
After reading several scathing reviews of this place, I decided to try staying there for myself and I was pleasantly surprised. Clearly the poor reviews are coming from people who are accustomed to staying at much fancier, more expensive hotels. But for the value, it’s hard to beat its prime location right by the beach and boardwalk. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with all of my questions and even gave me some great local restaurant suggestions. The room was clean and smelled clean. The shower had hot water, and yes the bathroom may be small but it wasn’t an issue for me. The room included a microwave and fridge and a TV. There is a typical window A/C and heater as well. I would absolutely stay here again.

For an old, slightly outdated hotel it really is perfect for what it is, a place to crash while at the beach. Reasonably priced, clean, smelled good, has a nice pool.

The boardwalk is a half a block away and right in the heart of it with all the rides just a few steps away.

Excellent location, and we had a good view from the balcony outside our room. Motel is a bit outdated and run down, but rooms are clean. It is what I expected for the price, and area.

If you want a place close to beach and boardwalk…this is a find. It’s old, run down but it works. We were 4…2 adults,2 kids……2 nights was plenty.

One block from Seaside Height boardwalk. So easy to have fun, eat, hear music.
Staff was very attentive and helpful.
Old motel style with character but no frills. We enjoyed the step back in time.

The place has a nice vibe. Like all motels on or around the boardwalk, the place is a bit out dated and the rooms are small - but if this is just a place to lay your hat while you are out enjoying the beach, then this is not a bad deal. I would stay here again with my family.

Surfside Motel
Surfside Motel was a basic beach motel. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean but could use some updates it did have a very small bathroom. The swimming pool was also clean. The people at the front desk were very helpful and friendly someone always there if you needed anything. Onsite parking, and very close to the boardwalk and beach.

Perfectly adequate
A shabby little hotel, desperately in need of an upgrade. But it was clean enough, and in a great location. Absolutely fine for a quick beach getaway.

Great for the price !
This was a surprisingly good place for the value.
Workers were super nice and the price was great especially for beginning of August.
Now you can get much nicer places but you would be paying for it.
The pool was also nice.
I would definitely stay here again especially if I’m looking to save money.
