http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Surfside_Hotel/hid22951 TravelPost.com - Hotel reviews, information, and rates from thousands of websites http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Surfside_Hotel/r532331 i actually thought the staff was a bit rude and the rooms were a bit old but i did like the pool and how close it was to the beach. i would stay again http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Surfside_Hotel/r532331 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Surfside_Hotel/r338851 I loved it. I just came back yesterday 8/28/2007. I was their with my husband and 4 year old twins. The room was extremely clean, the staff was super friendly. The pool was kept very clean and I will definetly stay their again next year for more time. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Surfside_Hotel/r338851 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Surfside_Hotel/r330986 After reading older reviews, it became obvious that this place has been renovated or people are blind (obviously the 1st). The place is GORGEOUS, with salt & freshwater aquariums in the walls of lobby, restaurant & walking areas. Excellent breakfast with very clean restaurant(s). Pool is large & deck area is spacious ("Kiddie Pool" also). Poolside towels are always a plus to me. A small indoor bar with outside window access (from pool deck). Great "wash off shower" upon retuning from the beach area. Rooms very nice and immaculate. Cleaning staff very friendly as is the entire staff. THe location is great (near fishing area, Ponce Inlet, and the Nascar fans will be glad to see the close proximetey to the tracks). The place is gorgeous, the staff is excellent, rates unbelievable (affordable). We went on a Holiday weekend & were treated to an all you can eat Bar-B-Cue & pooldeck entertainment (live,not loud, music). I am hoping to get a room today. This will be our new spot to go when we head to beach. We live in Florida & have been to many of this areas hotels & found this to be the best. Great for families and not just for "older" people. My husband & I are "younger & have 2 kids who also can't wait to go back. How do you define "Older", anyway? The people whose ages were "older" than mine were as pleasant & enjoyable as those of our ages ( mid & late 30's). Hard not to enjoy this place no matter what age you are.

The carpet throughout the hotel was filthy and smelled bad. We wore our flip flops in the room because we were uncomfortable walking around barefooted. I told my wife that I felt like we stepped back into the late 50's or early 60's because the hotel was in such need of updating. It's a shame, because the hotel is in a great location. Lobby was nice. Pool was nice. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Surfside_Hotel/r532332 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Surfside_Hotel/r532333 I liked everything about this Hotel, BUT they still have not installed a Hot Tub and the Bar/Pub has limited hours (4PM-10PM). The Bar is open till 10pm but the kitchen closes at 8pm. Ladies night on Thursday is a BLAST, but then it's down hill after that for entertainment. I would stay there again as it's an easy Hotel to navigate even with the slow elevators. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Surfside_Hotel/r532333
