Quiet and calm

I loved this place. It’s a hotel that doesn’t make a big deal of itself, but there’s a restaurant, bar, and a liquor store all in the same spot! The beach is so close! There’s a fabulous place to have breakfast right around the corner at Wally’s. The price was very reasonable!!
These are the beautiful flowers that surround the property.

Trouble was attendant did not clean toilet or shower floor etc. Clerk said shower floor had stain. Guitar player from 5 to 9 was excellent.

I wish I had a better review, but my husband and daughters left at 4:15am the next morning. I was not there yet. They said the air from outside and the a/c smelled bad and they couldn't breathe. Sorry, won't be booking with you again.

Mostly good

We had a two night stay to attend a wedding. The air conditioner was very noisy plus there was a fly and a few ants in the room. Also, the bed was too soft. Other than that the stay was ok.

Overall not too bad, Hotel is very old and there was a 1 inch gap on the top of the door, so someone could’ve been watching us while sleeping we wouldn’t know Rooms are quite small, you can tell that carpets haven’t been washed with extractor ever. Staff is great, people are doing their job, but if facilities doesn’t know how to maintain or manage maintenance departments , thats not a staff problem . Would I come back to this place ? I don’t think so. I would rater spend 500$ a night somewhere else.

Surf city hotel will remain my go to for visiting LBI and everything is usually great. Some critiques I have though for this trip was our shower did not really have normal controls, it was either turn left for ice cold water or turn right for burning hot water, no way to get comfortable water temperatures. Another thing was the switch for the fan in the bathroom did not work unless it was held down in a certain way, so we had to put a piece of tape on it to be able to hold it so it would stay on. If these little things are fixed then there’d be really no issues !
