The hotel was very clean and very accessible to the beach. Very close to shopping and food. The Dunes Resteraunt was a quarter mile walk and had excellent breakfast. The complimentary chocolate chip cookies at 8pm were great. Also, complimentary wine at 5 pm for the wine enthusiasts. Can't say anything bad about the Surf Side Hotel.

This was my first trip to OBX and the entire experience was better because of the hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly, and quick with any room cleaning throughout the day. Breakfast buffet each morning was fast, delicious, and hot which made each day great from the start. This is the first place I’ve ever stayed to have popcorn, cookies, and wine during the evening - small conveniences that make a big difference! The sunset deck and hot tub were perfect, and I will be booking this specific location again on my next trip down to the area. Thank you to the entire staff!

Great experience

Enjoyed our time at Surf Side. Very friendly staff. Clean. Easy to get in and out of. Close to the beach. Free breakfast. Large rooms. Only thing we did not like is how far away the indoor pool is from the hotel. It's over in another section of condo type rooms. You have to go outside to get to it, and it was cold, so we opted to not use the pool/hot tub. Would have it if would've been in the same hotel. Free cookies at 8pm. That was awesome. Loved the location and would absolutely stay there again. Next time, might ask for a room on a higher floor.

We were impressed not only with the cleanliness, but the wonderful little touches like the amenities. Apparently, we weren't the only ones. Their wine hour was well attended, cookie monsters lined up outside the lobby door at cookie time, and the endless pot of coffee/tea was much appreciated. The room was attractive and not cluttered
