Super cute property on a quiet side road. It's outdated, though that gives it most of its charm. Staff were super friendly and was greeted with wine and cheese when we arrived. The only issue was that I was not expecting the stairs to be so steep (was traveling with an older person). Right near the beach and walking distance to downtown Chatham.

Extremely loud, including the cleaning staff slamming doors and stomping at 7 in the morning and generally thin walls. The sheets had what looked like blood stains and the breakfast and other offerings were mediocre at best.

While the location and the common areas were perfect, the room was tiny and the bathroom was ridiculously small with barely any access to the toilet. The view was spectacular but a dorm room is bigger than this one. Also, I specified that it was for 2 adults and a 17 year old. We knew it was only one queen bed but assumed there would be a sofa or somewhere for the third person. There was nothing. Just the hard, uneven, old hardwood floor. We thought it would be "quaint" but not this rustic. Especially for the price.

Value oriented, well Located (beach about 2 mins and downtown the other way 5 mins). Staff was attentive and friendly. Clean, well taken care of. This is not a high end hotel despite its high end location. You’ll find clean, updated rooms. Bit of a throwback when you could bring a family to a Chatham and not break the bank (and be treated fairly).

Anyone who gives this place a bad review is a picky binch. Rooms are clean and comfortable, property is adorable, proximity to beach spectacular, staff delightful. Yes, it's not the Chatham Bars, but it's also not Bars' prices, so get over it.

Room was a dated motel room at $375.00. Continental breakfast was mediocre. The beach area (small) was the back bay so no waves. You could walk to the town of Chatham from there around 10 minutes which was nice. All in all very expensive for accommodations. In Mystic we stayed in a literal mansion (Captains Mansion) for $50.00 more a night and it was 5 stars. Surfside was 2 stars.

This was a very quaint inn, close to the water and very walkable to town. The staff was fantastic. The bathroom could use some updating along with places to hang up clothes. Saying all that, I would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Surfside Inn. The accommodations are modest but clean and comfortable. There is easy access to Lighthouse Beach and to restaurants and shopping downtown. In addition to a continental breakfast, there are beach wagons, chairs, and towels available for use, and a guest shared fridge and ice machine. There is a 5-6 pm wine and cheese hour, and also wine glasses available for you to borrow for your room. There's plenty of outdoor seating for guests to enjoy as well. We will definitely return!

It is a modest property, clean, well-managed, friendly staff and great location. The only problem for us was the noise in the lobby and hall--you can hear EVERYTHING so even a moderately loud conversation echoes everywhere. Maybe in a room far from the lobby, this wasn't an issue but anywhere close to the lobby and stairs, it is annoying. There was a group there for a wedding and they were very loud. Without a manager on site, there was no one to monitor the noise so it went on until we went to the lobby and said something.
