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.

This motel is ok.
Bonus is that the motel is steps away from the beach and boardwalk plus a nice little breakfast restaurant on other corner. The room we were in did have a view of the ocean. The workers that I had interactions with were nice but the lady that checked us in had a thick accent, couldn't understand her totally but she was nice and funny. Stayed in one of what they list as an apartment but it's really a studio and the bathroom is extremely tiny. Good thing I'm short, I don't see how anyone much taller can fit in there. Towels are small and not very absorbent, glad I brought one from home. I let my friend have the bedroom space and I took their so called pullout bed in living space. I think this was broken as the middle connector/joint was popped out and was sticking me in my side all night and the bottom half kept plopping downwards and to the left, this was super uncomfortable. Also this place comes with nothing. So bring sheets and pillow if you will be using the pull out bed. Also bring any plates, cups, silverware, pots,etc if you plan on making meals. And bring hangers too if you need them. Luckily the dresser has deep drawers. The worst part of staying here was that someone stole my brand new beach towel that I had hanging on the balcony while I was out for a few hours. Hope karma catches up to them. They do offer parking spots in the rear but they are super tight! Overall my stay was ok all things considered.

AMAZING LOCATION!!!! Very run down seaside motel, definitely fixable, and a good value in my opinion. I sat on a broken chair by the pool (it didn't look broken, but my ass fell right through when I sat!! Ow), some stairs are wobbly, rust all over and cracks in the pool area could use a little bleach, caulk, and a touch up paint job. Our two-double-bed room on the third floor itself was very basic, and not horrible. The bed was comfortable, and the bedspreads were clean and not scary as I've experienced in other seaside motels. Free parking is a great amenity, but it's behind the motel, and very tight. The lot needs to be cleaned up too, there's all kinds of debris, I was hoping not to pop a tire. (I didn't) Across the street from Lucky Leo's arcade, and Jimmy's breakfast restaurant. Overall, great little place for a seaside heights getaway. Location location location.

The mattresses were dirty and the sheets had stains all over , the room was clean to the best of its ability , a lot of rust and mold on the ceiling and the bathroom . Cigarettes are all over the property ! The noise was pretty bad 2 out of 4 nights but close to everything the staff was very nice the parking was very tight! All the motels around seaside are about the same with outdated rooms

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.

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.

The staff here were friendly & accomodating, we loved the location of our room to the pool & beach. the property could use some repair. The bathroom sink was not fixed, the shower faucet came off the wall, under the kitchen sink there was black mold, some of the windows would not open. However, the staff was generous with towels, TP, and even gave us a coffee pot and pots and pans to use at no charge. Also, the security guard seemed to not notice the teenagers dangling from the balconies.

I rented the apartment it is very small and the pull out couch is a leather futon with a board down it. We had to go buy a blow up mattress also we had to pay the 13 dollars a day for the beach with a family of 7 everyday because we did not get free access at booking. We also couldn’t have two parking spots even thought we had so a large family. The bathroom was so small if u weigh over 120 u can’t fit on the toilet bc it is beside the sink u have to sit sideways. Underneath the sink was nothing but black mold. We also had to buy a tv bc there is only one tv in the room when it is an apartment there is suppose to be 2. Very unhappy with the stay. On a good note very convenient to the beach and didn’t find any bed bugs I searched. The place was very loud at night no staff stopped it.
