The hotel was very clean and very accessible to the beach. Very close to shopping and food. The Dunes Resteraunt was a quarter mile walk and had excellent breakfast. The complimentary chocolate chip cookies at 8pm were great. Also, complimentary wine at 5 pm for the wine enthusiasts. Can't say anything bad about the Surf Side Hotel.

Our room was very clean and kept that way each day. The hot breakfast was good and changed each day. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. The location was great since we wanted to explore all of the area, and it was right in the middle. Beach chairs were available to sit on the beach, which had direct access. There was a good choice of nearby restaurants.

Of course it was surf side. Beautiful beach. our room was modern and tastefully furnished. Nice breakfast space. Friendly staff. Ample parking. Not fussy. Extremely comfortable porch chairs. Walking distance to Cahoun’s store and Jeanette’s Pier. 5 minutes from golf and outlet mall. Loved our stay just off peak season late May.

Everything was very clean & nice. Breakfast was awesome! Wine & cheese every afternoon & cookies every night are nice extra touches. Pool area was clean & provided Pool towels a big plus. Room service great. The only thing we were disappointed in was the beach access. It was a rather steep hill down to beach. We were told it changes due to high tides and wind etc. which no one can control. We had a great trip and would love to stay there again.
