Surfside Motel

Don’t stay unless you want your property to go missing and then told they’re DELETING the video. I stayed at this motel June 2, 2024. I was having my 50th birthday celebration at Vetro’s, the following day my husband and I had an early flight to Jamaica. I arrive at 2:30pm to have my hairdresser and her assistance start working on my mom hair and makeup. They were NEVER left alone. The night before my party I had packed everything and left inside the room until my party ended because my mom was going to grab everything and take it back to my house. The only people in my room were my mom, aunt and my husband. The following morning we left on our trip. I return from Jamaica to put my stuff away and a white gold ring was missing and my coach sunglasses, but left the case. I called the motel only to be insulted and was told that they would be deleting the video. If you have NOTHING to hide why are you deleting videos. If I have NOTHING to hide I would show you the video. ABSOLUTELY NO INTEGRITY! I’m pressing charges. DON’T stay here PLEASE! Making sure EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS PLACE!!!

better luck next time well i had to return for a funeral and drove right up without any reservation, When i arrived i pulled in the parking lot that had a few cars there at 10 p.m and when i went to the desk was ignored . This is NOT a family place by the sea near Rockaway Beach . It looked like a no tell Motel . Not recommended for funerals in Howard Beach . but the neighborhood although changed significantly still has good italian food .

Not Recommended Hotel in need of total refurbishment roo.s are drab with plaster blistering woodwork in bathroom rotten Only good thing beds very comfortable Hotel noisy during night with people in corridor and doors slamming Not recommended only booked as all hotels near JFK fully booked due to flight cancellations and if they had rooms they were charging more than double normal room rates

Convenient, basic and safe For my last day in New York, I wanted to be near the airport because traffic can be unpredictable. Everything else near the JFK area is expensive and the reviews are bad. Thanks to reviews too that I chose this hotel. Location-wise, it was good. Very near the airport (15 mins) very near commercial areas for last-minute shopping and food joints (you can walk it. It's safe). No frills check-in (very fast), basic room with a really comfy king-size bed and basic soap and towel. The best thing is that they can shuttle you for free to the airport, alone or with companions. They also have a nice waterfront view from my room's side. If there's anything, maybe try to polish the floors a bit more because the texture made me think it was dirty when it really wasn't.

Fine For A Night Or Two This place is not exactly the “Ritz” but it is fine if you want a clean place for a night or two and do not want anything fancy. It is old and really does need a renovation. The staff is very nice and accommodating. The free parking is a definite bonus. The location is very good as well.
