The location is GREAT and the staff are amazing, very nice and accommodating. This is our first time staying at this hotel and me and my boyfriend both agreed we would forsure stay here again. Yes, the building is old but just keep in mind this is a nostalgic hotel and the employees take pride in that which they should :)

5 Star Experience at Surfer Beach Hotel My stay at Surfer Beach Hotel was absolutely wonderful! The hotel was spotless, quiet, and located in a fantastic area, making it the perfect getaway. Its proximity to the beach and nearby attractions added to the convenience and overall experience. The staff truly stood out they were incredibly friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. If you’re looking for a clean, peaceful, and well-situated hotel with outstanding service, I highly recommend Surfer Beach Hotel. It’s a gem, and I’ll definitely be returning!

The room which I booked was unclean so the staff offered an upgrade to a front ocean view; I loved the view; the staff was very nice. But the property is in a poor condition. The carpet in my upgraded room is dirty with dark spots. The coffee pot is unclean. The ice bucket has dust inside. Overall, it was just average.
