People talking kind of loud in the hallway at 2 am, not really the motels fault. Good inch of light under the (hollow?) door. Heater dirty like dryer lint (most hotels have this problem). Everyone I interacted with at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The view of the water and the breeze from the water is really great! Make sure you get a room facing the water not the street. A bit expensive for what you get but right now what isn’t expensive for what you get? Bit of a mixed bag. Good enough if you are easy going and flexible, not good enough if you are picky/ particular.

After making the payment online, we get to the hotel and they told us that there’s no room for us, also that 3 people can be in the same room we asked the attendant what’s is the meaning of two bed in one room because that is what we booked for, so I and my family can’t be in a room? We end up booking another hotel. The management is very poor. My question is , how do I get my refund because we didn’t sleep in that hotel? Thanks

The front desk staff was wonderful, friendly and efficient. The property itself was scary, you could hear every sound of people knocking on the doors of other rooms, the keys turning in the locks, the door to the room was flimsy with a tiny lock, you didn’t feel safe; and even though it was a non smoking room, all you smelled was smoke from the other rooms. It was like the Bates motel

It is a nice place. Everything but the weed smoking in the other room. If the weed stops I would not mind always going back.

Room was "no smoking" yet it stunk so badly i had to leave the windows wide open on a first floor room. The "smoke detector" was just the mounting bracket on the wall, no smoke detector! Bugs in the toilet, hairs in the bed, bubblegum jammed into the broken ceiling tiles over shower. Nasty, nasty place.

If you are paying by the hour stay. If your looking for sleep dont stay. Absolute dive used for prostitution. Had the cheek to ask me for ID while hookers and deals were going on all night. DO NOT bring children. Best and only good thing about the whole experience, the airport shuttle. Dangerous place for a tourist. Dont waste your money you will regret it. 1* would have been better off sleeping at the airport. Room the most basic, 2 cheap bars of soap and two at what could best be described as hand towels supplied.

I would rate it 10 star. Their service is the best. They accommodated me for early check in without any additional charge. Staff was very polite and helpful. Lot of restaurants in that strip. Just the best. Room was very hygienic and clean.

My experience with this motel is terrible. Exclusive room is so bad that I can't describe you, on the door cold welcome, like what you want now, room dirty, hot tub never saw muriatic acid (usually people and companies using to clean hot-tub) have green stuff inside (algie, show up if you don't maintain properly pool or hot-tub and need to be washed with muriatic acid) bathroom is dirty, around toilet is yellow, sheet on bad is gray color with some stain, when you're going to tell something on front desk he just jump on me, where is motel located is dangerous on every 50 feet is police with blue lights, on street noise all night, people yelling and is not comfortable at all, all stores have around have roll door or some other protection on Windows and doors.
2.0
Close to the airport, however it was quite noisy and not sound proof at all. The beds were made with two flat sheets and no fitted sheets and had an annoying plastic covering the mattresses. Inexpensive, but if we ever go back to New York, I will definitely pay extra for a nicer hotel.

The hotel is ok. Would recommend they put a towel rack by the bathroom sink. There was no place to hang a towel by the sink and all they had were bath towels, no hand towels. They didn't have any towel racks by the bathtub either.

I chose the SurfSide Motel because of its price (around $100) and location--literarily 10 minutes shuttle ride from JFK. What I did not know was that it was located in the Howard Beach neighborhood on the border between Queens and Brooklyn, which was the old stomping grounds of mafia characters as portrayed in films such as 'Good Fellas.' While that might seem like ancient history today, the area still has that unique flavor--getting a cup of coffee across the street from SurfSide seemed like walking into a movie set of 'Good Fellas Revisited 40 Years Later.' The area is also packed with all manor of nifty restaurants. The only downside I can think of is that there was not only no in-room coffee or mini-fridge, and no in-house coffee/breakfast area. But, as suggested above, this deficit was more than made up for with the stroll across the street to a world-class deli that apparently serves as the hang-out-in-retirement of knots of local 'notables.'

Kept us away from the major traffic.. and close to calm relaxing water.. basic room but good for NY
