The staff was very very rude and not accommodating. We arrived room was dirty and the A.C was NOT WORKING .. Then finally they switched our room. To an even worse room the bed was legit broken in half & that A.C did not work. The lady in the front was so rude and yelling at me. The room sheets were filthy and hair in showers

Front desk staff was very nice to chat with. room 215, the bed farthest from the door sank in fairly bad but we just moved to the bed next to it and it was fine, other than that it was good for the price point with how close it was to the beach, no complaints. i would come back.

The Surfside Motel was a huge disappointment and uninhabitable. It was dirty and disgusting. The sheets and towels were dirty, there was fecal matter on the walls, it was very noisy in the area, the smell of marijuana and mold was pervasive. My friend also had a room and there were holes in the walls and her shower didn’t work. A giant cockroach crawled out of the wall. I went to report it to the front desk and asked that they exterminate it. They had nothing, not even bug spray, and did not address the issue. The person there during the night said to check with the Glendale, which is a different motel. We asked for a refund and they refused. My friend left and paid for another hotel because it was so disgusting. I called in advance to make sure it was a family friendly, clean and quiet hotel because I was taking my children for a dance competition. The staff were not honest with us. They should really offer a refund for such deplorable conditions. The parking lot was very difficult to get in and out of and it was in disrepair as was every other part of this motel. I’m surprised Expedia would even offer it. It’s dangerous for young children. I would not recommend it for families.

Great location but no TV and rough room.

The TV did not work, the fan in the bathroom sounded like an injured animal and my phone calls to the hotel were never answered. Messages were never returned conserning the TV. The sheets had someone else’s hair on it and some stains. The location is amazing and my young boys had a great time but I won’t use this hotel again mainly because the TV had 0 chance of ever working and that felt like a rip off.

Dingy dirty run down tiny room. Don’t know how this meets any codes to rent out . Not even a chair or table in the room. Half inch gap on the front door going outside . Ceiling tiles screwed and spackled on. Toilet was loose , can’t expect much in seaside but this was terrible.

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.
