Top Central Hotel Reviews

The Surf Club

The Surf Club

8/10 Good
"Upon entering the room, there was a musty smell. There was also a loud clanking noise coming from the vent in the bathroom. The northeaster was coming through and it may have had something to do with high winds. The room was clean and neat and the bed was quite comfortable. Since it was off-season, parking was no problem for us. But again, since there was a northeaster, we parked in the parking lot right behind us. It was free because of the storm. It was supposedly higher ground. The surf club is only a block from the boardwalk and very convenient to everything."
