Surfside Resort

Rudest staff and management we’ve ever encountered, and we travel for a living. There was an issue with our room type and instead of being helpful and trying to find a solution, the woman at front desk, and later the manager, Greg Anderson, blamed us for the mistake and continued to berate us throughout our stay. They claim they are «pet friendly» but they are barely pet tolerable, or guest tolerable, period.

We came here For our 30^th anniversary. Room was nice with a full kitchen, gas fireplace comfortable bed and an AWESOME view! Managers are great they brought us more coffee and towels and even called our room to make sure we were comfortable. They made this trip easy telling us about a great steak house and also the best places to see. We actually saw a water fall! Rooms are very clean and overall was a great 30^th Anniversary! Will definitely be back!

The room was comfortable and clean. The ocean view was amazing!
The kitchen area was set up nicely for cooking avg stocked with just the right amount of cooking utensils and dishes.
The bed was comfy and having a fireplace in the room was nice.
We will be staying here again when we head this way… definitely a great find.

Incredible views off the balcony of our ocean front room. Room was a bit dated, but comfortable. Really liked that we had a fridge in the room. Got to the hotel after dark and the area is pretty dimly lit and feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere. We missed out on any ocean views at night but still spent some time out on the beach. Went back out again in the morning once the sun came up, beautiful beach and amazing views. It’s nice enough for what we were looking for, but nothing spectacular.

Large clean room, pet friendly with reasonable pet fee, beach is right there, friendly staff.

NEVER AGAIN! Worst hotel I have ever stayed in.
Started off so so, the first few minutes. And went downhill from there. Front desk guy started off as ok, not welcoming, that’s for damn sure, but ok. We’d driven up from California and were exhausted. Went up to our room to nap. Woke up feeling sick about an hour later on because the room was unbearably hot. There was a thermostat on the wall but the numbers were so worn out it was impossible to read anything on it. I thought the ad as broken when there was no ac noises or anything and no temperature change after several minutes. I called down to the front desk to tell them the ac was broken and the guy treated me like I was a complete moron for not knowing that there was no ac in the room. On top of that, the is no fan and no screens for the door. Luckily for me, I only got about 3 bug bites. My boyfriends legs were covered in them though because we had to choose between leaving the door open and letting bugs in or staying in what was probably about a 90 °F room. There is also nothing nice about this place. Everything is just ok. The kitchenette was nothing impressive. All old and outdated equipment. Barely stocked with some of the basic necessities for preparing a meal. The beds are hard and uncomfortable. It’s really just an old dingy motel posing as a resort with a front desk run by an asshole whose sole joy in life appeared to be putting others down.

we returned to rockaway beach, and the surfside is a wonderful place to stay… very clean, some new bathroom flooring, in addition to other improvements… the indoor pool is warm, and relaxing… the staff is great… the ocean front view is amazing…

Prescheduled 2 –3 months in advance requested same room as before-​ocean view on the beach– they said sure, and then not the same room after we got there with a note on booking do not move if they ask? Make sure if you ask for a room and they say partial view that you aren’t looking over into a parking lot LOL. All hotels in area are booked up-​now to even move yet, — should you EVER have a family emergency, like we did– without a 72hr notice (as you know when an emergency happens), they will charge you a one night stay. Just saying, better places with better customer service and rooms.

Not a fan of motels. But, this place was available with short notice during busy season and it’s right on the beach. The oceanfront room has unobstructed view of the ocean. The room was not fancy, pretty bare bones. Just what you need, nothing more. There is a couch and kitchen and eating area. No extra pillows or blankets. Spacious, but the place could use some updating! It was worth it for the view.

My husband and I stayed here on a road trip down the OR coast the second week of April 2015. We were amazed by the room we got! We stayed in a room with panoramic views of the beach and 2 beds (I did make sure when booking we got the panoramic view). We didn’t need the second bed but I needed a non-​pet room due to allergies and this was all they had with the view I wanted (I did book only 2 weeks before our trip) — it was only $ 10 more a night: score!
In our room there was a queen bed looking out to the beach (probably the best part to me). We had a full kitchen which was also a plus. A three person couch, a table with four chairs and, my second favorite thing, a gas fireplace!!! There was a nice large flat screen tv and lots of channels to choose from (both rooms had this although we only used the second bed for extra pillows). The extra bed was in its own room so it was easy to ignore. My husband and I thought these were maybe apartments at some time due to the functional layout, bedroom and kitchen.
One night we took our chairs from the porch down to the beach (mere steps from the room) to watch the sunset.
Also, make sure you look on their site for discounts! We got 20% off which made our 3 night stay cheaper than a 1 night stay in a nice room in Portland.
Wifi wasn’t good by any means but it was a nice reminder that we were there to relax and get away :)
The beach out front was never filled with people so that was another plus.
I am not sure if our room was ever cleaned while we were there, but we didn’t really need it to be.
We liked the location, the price, and the views. We are for sure coming back here our next visit to the OR coast!

I really like coming here with my family whenever we go to the coast. The price is great, can’t find a better deal especially with the service and quality of rooms. Check-​in and check-​out is never an issue and if you are looking for a private and secluded getaway, look no further. The rooms are in the process of being renovated so ask for one of the newer ones! Hope to see you soon Surfside!

Our room had a beautiful view of the nearly unoccupied beach. The accomodations were clean, staff was friendly, and there was ample available parking. I was pleased that the small kitchen included a dishwasher, and enough pots/​pans/​dishes to cook a meal for my family. We will be back!

Great value. Clean, friendly, and spacious. Truly spectacular beach right outside, hotel is 5ft from the sand. Doors, walls, and windows are good quality, thick and well maintained, pretty much sound proof and draft free (can be chilly even in July!) Internet service was excellent. Happy we picked this place, it’s everything it advertises itself to be.

Held a family reunion here the week of July 24^th. We took up five of seven rooms on the second floor. The location was amazing. The staff was very helpful. The hotel is older and they are working on updating things. The pool area (indoor) can be extremely loud when you get a few kids in there playing and yelling. Its not a cheep place to stay but, location, location, location. The beach was right outside out window and we enjoyed the ocean sunsets each night (it wasn’t raining). One thing to be aware of, the town shuts down early (8pm) so get your dinner early.

Comfortably spacious rooms right on the beach. A little bit further away from downtown but that could be a plus. I would definitely stay there again. Having an extra bedroom and kitchen was also a big plus.

We were surprised at what a spacious room we had booked. In fact, it was the size of a one-​bedroom apartment. We had a corner room with a balcony. So there was an amazing view of both the ocean and the nearby water. The Surfside Resort is literally right off the beach, so within moments you can be walking through the sand.
There are reviews critiquing the décor or referring to staff members stealing from the rooms:
1. Sure, the place may have been decorated a while back. It also has flat screen TVs and stainless steel mini fridges. Compared to any other places to stay in Rockaway Beach, I can’t imagine you’ll find anything much nicer.
2. The staff was overly polite and helpful. We left with everything in tact.
My only issue was their wi-​fi was very unreliable. In fact, I wouldn’t book a room here with plans to use it for anything important. But you’re staying in Rockaway Beach to get away for a few days, right?

Decent place but expensive for what it is. 160.00 per night for a spacious room that does not have air conditioning but does come with some used ice cream wrappers under the bed.
Not a bad place but could’ve cleaner. The price we paid was probably due to the Hood to Coast relay in town this weekend.

this place is great. beautiful views if you get beachside. My mother is elderly, and we stayed the first part of the trip in one of the rooms with a view. I really LOVED it. she did too. my doggies? were blown away that there were beach squirrels. yes, beach squirrels, to torture them. LOL
big rooms, and kitchenettes. the staff is great. I got extra garbage bags from the maid, and we got clean towels from her too.
then later in the trip, we moved to the handicapped section, without the views, but even bigger rooms. really LOVED these rooms, despite the views. my mom could now go up and down, in and out, and the beds were super comfortable.
your not far from many things, and the walk to the beach? is easy. lots of firewood sold in town, for beach fires. I recommend this place, and would stay here again for sure.
I am surprized at how much the oregon coast has grown. its summertime, and there are SO many people here.
but this place? you feel like your in your own.
thanks!

Good choice in Rockaway! Dog friendly! The front desk lady is very welcoming and funny. They don’t serve breakfast and we «wouldn’t want (her) cooking anyway!» With the large kitchen we were able to take care of our own meals.
The view was lovely and the kitchen was well appointed. It even had a dishwasher! Very spacious room with a three seat couch plus a breakfast table and chairs.
Good price with our off season rates (late April). I would stay there again!

I came here this past weekend with my parents, brothers, aunt, uncle and cousins. All 3 of our rooms were clean and pretty comfy with the exception of the beds. They were super hard, needed more blankets (especially since we were at the beach in the dampness) and could really use some new fluffy pillows.
Each room has a kitchen with stove, oven, and fridge. They’re stocked with dishes so it was really convenient to make all of our meals here. Parking was easy, there was ample seating in the rooms and it was quiet. That was really unexpected since it’s the middle of summer and the hotel seemed full.
The beach is really clean and the sand was fine and you could walk around barefoot since there wasn’t any rocks or glass. That was a great bonus.
My parents come here many times a year and love it! If I were to come back to the Oregon coast, I would definitely stay here!
