  Great location with beautiful ocean views. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and we really appreciated the convenient coffee corner with free coffee. Our room was also very quiet at night, which was a big plus. Everything was clean, and the room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, it delivered really well for the price, especially for an early September stay.

  Stayed for a weekend mother-daughter trip. We had no car, so it was nice to have easy access to bikes, paddle boards and kayaks with a small beach right in front and a few places for food on-premises and nearby (with free morning coffee). Brunch at Little Pub was great. Beds were comfortable and the cleaning staff does an excellent job. Yoga on the beach had a great instructor.

  I REALLY want to give a good review. However, what happened during my stay is something everyone needs to consider. The desk staff leave about 8pm. If you have an emergency, your call goes to an answering service which then passes a message on to someone on call. Ok. That's not a problem, except if the on call person does not answer. There was a fight that broke out in the room next door the was escalating to a disturbing level. I made my first call perhaps about 11:45pm, after 15 minutes of listening to a man berate a woman. I made a second call nearly an hour later. I then called 911 because I became concerned for the woman's safety next door when it sounded like things were being thrown around-and maybe even her. No one at the hotel ever responded. Around 1:45 am, the police left and everything finally got quiet again. While an altercation might be rare, if you need assistance because your room key stops working, a water leak occurs, or something else, you expect a hotel to have someone available. That aside, the room was lovely and so was the view. The restaurant was also nice. Even so, I am not sure I would stay again because of my experience. It really put a tarnish on my getaway.

  I was in town for a concert at the Hartford Health Amphitheater and this hotel gave me a chance to also have a few hours on the beach. It is a beautiful setting without tons of foot traffic and noise. I chose a room facing the water which had a small private area to sit. The room and bed were very comfortable with amenities such as a robe and beach towels. I was amused by the salt water taffy that they offered complimentary. A nice touch. The bed was comfortable and the entire room / bathroom were very clean. I felt like they really thought about the nice gestures that would set them apart. Super easy check in and check out. I was even notified ahead of time that my room was ready. I chose to take a Lyft to and from the concert to avoid parking. This was a GREAT decision as I was already back at the hotel (10 min ride) while everyone was stuck in traffic. This is my hotel for my next concert!

  My stay at Surfside Hotel in Stratford was absolutely amazing! Everything from the atmosphere to the overall experience was wonderful. We stay here at least twice a year, and it truly feels like our home away from home. ❤️ I especially want to give a personal shout-out to Alyssa, who checked us in. She is absolutely amazing! Her warm, welcoming personality and exceptional customer service always make our stay even more special. We’ve stayed here so often that Alyssa now feels like family! Thank you, Surfside Hotel, for always making us feel so comfortable and welcome. We can’t wait to come back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
