Afternoon I’m sure this is probably more common in motels that I no but your property has roaches. I stayed at this facility before earlier this year and I did not encounter any problems with bugs but sadly on this day I killed 1 adult and 5 baby roaches. Bugs and mistakes do happen but I do not know if I will give SURF CITY another chance

Pictures are deceiving

Room was dirty, shower didn’t get more than lukewarm, bedding had multiple cigarette burns and stains, ceiling had stains, hair all over the floor and towels were stained and threadbare. Pictures were deceiving. Hotel looked nice but it was not nice and gross.
