I was a regular at the Surf Hotel while it was still open. While most of you say that the receptionist was rude, I say that she was actually really sweet. It all depended on your own energy towards the place and the people there. If you walked in expecting people to put on a fake smile, then you probably found yourself proved wrong. Lorraine, ...

I KNEW THE SURF WAS CLOSING, BUT THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BOUGHT BY THE NEXT SEASON, WHICH IT WAS NOT. I AM WORRIED THAT AN OLD vICTORIAN BUILDING LIKE THAT WILL SUFFER IRREPARABLE DAMABE AFTER BEING LEFT UNOCCUPIED ALL THIS TIME (2009 AT PRESENT). THE DAYS OF THE OLD SURF ARE GONE. MR. AND MRS. CYR ARE TOO ELDERLY TO ASSIST LORRAINE AND SHE CANNOT DO ...

its spring 2009-whats the latest? i love it there please anyone know anything???? we go every june for our anniv.....

The venerable Surf has closed. I'm sure many longtime "Surfers" are very sad. It's said that you either love it or hate it. After several stays I must be one of the very few who is neutral. The location is great, the prices are cheap - what more can one ask from a beach front hotel. The "regulars", those who gush ...

I have been going to Block for 17 years and staying a week+ at a time, then again for many overniters or days away for some down time. There is not a better place than THE SURF!!!! The Cyrs have ran a great establishment and Lorraine isn't rude at all. She controled the entire facility and kept the business free of rif-raf that can sometimes be ...

The Surf is a great hotel. It's location is wonderful. The rooms are clean, the breakfast is superb, the family room is great for kids and families, the porches have the best views on Block Island, and it is a wonderful hotel with charm and beauty that will be sorely missed by many.

We would love to come again (2008 would be our 3rd ...

We loved this place: warm, welcoming and a bit down home - just perfect. I've heard that they may not open next year. Sad! What a great building, location, and ... a warmth that seldom comes with...

Staying at the Surf Hotel is like returning to days when Life was simple and real. Not glamorous or trendy or wired for internet or any of that. The perfect antidote to fast-paced life in the city. Many families return the same time each year so you get to know people...its like a family. Great safe place for kids to have positive experiences with ...

Our family has been going to the Surf for many years. We love the whole thing. We love the location right on the beach, we love the summer community of guests, we love the games in the parlor, we love the porches--and the comfy chairs. We love listening to guests play the piano. We love the cavalier King Charles Spaniels and the parakeet. We love ...
