Great location. A basic beach motel. Very small rooms, shower didn't work.
You get what you pay for there is was a very cheap hotel at the beach, but it was not in good condition. The staff was friendly and it was very inexpensive.
The motel is old. I've been staying there for 24 years. The rooms are clean, air conditioner works great, the staff is exceptional. I just spent a week there. I was also there 3 weeks ago. I love it!

It was very close to the beach that was great. The ac was not getting cold and that's really my only complaint. Staff was very nice. And I will be back there if God say the same.
This is an old, not well maintained building. The air-conditioners are window units. This is a last resort, must have a room motel. Avoid if safety and air quality are important to you.

I stay here almost every time I’m in Surfside. This isn’t a place for someone wanting fancy accommodations but if you’re wanting a place on/near the beach at an affordable price this place is great. Definitely could use some updating and overall maintenance but the rooms are clean and never seen bugs present in the room. One minute walk to the beach and the vehicle entrance is a block away.
Probably one of the worst properties I have ever stayed in. The only thing abd I mean the ONLY thing going for it was that it was 50 yards from the beach. It was terrible
It's a modest place, but it has everything you need to have a good stay, the price per night is very affordable, and the location is very convenient, just a few steps from the beach.
The property needs a full renovation. The room was not clean. The floors were beyond disgusting and there was broken glass. The ac unit was not working.
Bring your own bedsheets, blankets pillows, towels, wash cloths. Cleaning supplies to clean down everything before bringing your stuff in.
The pros about the motel is it is pretty much right on the beach and it’s cheap. All in all you get what you pay for .
