Unsafe. The locks on room door were broken. No deadbolt. No chain. Outside is visible through door jams. Easy to see the door was definitely busted through, by force, multiple times. If someone wanted to get in, just needed a credit card to barely slip the lock. Get what you pay for. It’s prime location. Across the street from boardwalk and beach. A little before midway. Pool was ok and clean. Rooms, mattresses and furniture old, outdated, broken. Kinda gross. $200 for 2 nights … worth it if just to shower and sleep.

If i could rate this place a zero i would! It’s very noisy there at all hours. The rooms were not very clean. I lifted up the mattress and there was a huge stain. The beds were not comfortable at all. The shower in our room didn’t work. The front desk girl who checked us in I could not understand her and she was very rude. I checked out a day earlier because I couldn’t be there anymore. On the nice note the gentlemen who checked us out gave me my money back. But honestly it was my worst stay ever. If you want a quiet place to relax this is not it at all! Also people blast music, smoke weed/ cigarettes all over the property. NEVER AGAIN!

This property was so terrible that my husband and I ended up cutting our weekend beach trip short and leaving early. First, the property was completely misrepresented. There was no coffee maker in the room as advertised. The door did not shut properly. We had to use all three locks to keep it shut. There was a lot to be desired as far as cleaning went. The room smelled, and thank God that I had taken my own air freshener with us. The sheets were clean but the floors were sticky and dirty, there was mold in the bathroom, and the showers were so hot i thought I would get scaled. Safety was another story altogether. This was not so much a motel as a dumping ground for the homeless and section 8 residents. You couldn’t walk downstairs without running into a group of people smoking weed and hanging out in front of the motel by the pool. It was very uncomfortable as they watched every move you made. The weed permeated our room all hours of the day and night and the obnoxious and profanity laden music blasted until 2 am. So much for quiet hours and a relaxing beach weekend. On Saturday, we went over to the beach for a few hours and when we came back, someone had obviously been in our room and the second monkey we left on the dresser was gone. That was the last straw for us and this is when we decided to leave. We requested a refund but was denied.

The outside looks very good. However the room we were given had fallen tiles in the bathroom. We were then given another room. It had decaying plumbing, gnats all over, we we were there for three nights and NEVER received any room service (cleaning or even fresh clean linen). Overall, it was poorly maintained and just plain worn out.

We had the worst stay at this place. If I could give 0 stars I would. The pictures we saw on expedia of this Surfside Motel were not comparable to the place at all. The room they gave us which was supposed to be an efficiency because we have 2 kids was out of a horror movie. It smelled like sewer in the room and it even had dead roaches in the drawer. I complained to the front desk about the smell to see if something could be done but not even air freshener spray could help it.
