Super friendly staff, easy check in and the room was a lot bigger than what we had thought for 3 people so that was definitely a plus!

It was perfect for an overnight trip to Seaside Heights. It was quite convenient to the beach and boardwalk. The staff was super! We had trouble with TV and in a matter of minutes, someone was there to fix it.

Location is key

Very convenient location. Steps from the boardwalk. Affordable. The room was not in the best of shape. The floor felt dirty from the moment we arrived. The toilet didn’t flush properly. There was water stains on the ceiling tiles. The pool was nice. Wasn’t the worst or the best, but we didn’t spend a lot of time in the room.

2/10 Poor

Stay away from this place!!! Super sketchy and absolutely disgusting. The smell in the room was horrendous. We got a refund and changed locations. Do yourself a favor and go one block over to the Sea Garden. Actually... just go anywhere else but here.

One block from the boardwalk. Room clean. The mattress is worn and needs to be replaced. No linen/towel replacement in a 3-day stay. Desk personnel were very friendly. Was allowed to go into the room early. The pool was well-maintained. AC worked well but loud. Would stay affordable short trips.

6/10 Good

Location, price, staff and pool were great. Room and building very old and rundown. Had stove but no kitchenware to be able to use it. Couldn’t close bathroom door properly without pulling real hard. Small bugs coming from bathroom drain. When booking it said 2 double beds and double sofa bed, but the sofa was a regular couch, not a pull-out and no extra blankets/pillows for the couch. Overall I’d probably stay here again just for the locations closeness to everything and the low price.

I have been coming to Surfside Motel in Seaside Heights for many years... I think the first time I came here was 1995. I think they have the same furniture here from when I first started coming lol. It is your typical Jersey Shore dive motel. It is an awesome place! If you are expecting a 5 star hotel, this is not the place for you. If you just need a bed, pool, and shower while you are enjoying the Jersey Shore nightlife and boardwalk, this is the spot. It is right across the street from the Boardwalk. Excellent location. The receptionist, Bushella, and the manager, Mike, have been here forever and are friendly and welcoming. The pool is right in the heart of the action and gets sun all day long. I definitely recommend this place!

Staff was excellent! Motel needs a lot of work. Room set up did not have tv in bedroom. Shower curtain device keep falling off wall. Place just needs work. Most likely will not stay again unless motel is remodeled.

Prime location! However the room…. The futon had large tears and what appeared to be be bleach stains, the shower was dirty, walking out of the bathroom into the bedroom area there was a loose board which would move approx a inch down if stepped on. Inconsistency with the pool hours. The parking was tight/ manageable until someone did not seem to care about the parking lines and parked in a manner next to my car it took me 20 min to get my car out. They ask for your first born, ID or a credit card to loan our beach passes.. which seems a little much.
