Top Surf City Hotel Reviews

Drifting Sands Oceanfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our room looking out over the ocean and took advantage of the additional amenities including fresh coffee in the lobby and beach chairs. It is a perfect location."

Hotel LBI

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely LOVED our stay! 朗 The suite was HUGE—honestly, it felt more like a beautiful mini apartment, complete with a full kitchen and everything you could possibly need. The hotel itself was fantastic, and the pool was amazing! 🏖️☀️ Plus, the beach is only about a 10-minute walk away, which was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay and I’m already counting down until we can come back next year! ❤️🌴✨ Highly recommend this hotel!"

The Beach House at Drifting Sands

8/10 Good

"I don’t ever leave reviews, however, we’ll never stay there again (Labor Day weekend). The Bad: I booked 2 standard rooms, but somehow got 2 efficiencies; which are NOT updated at all. The carpet is hanging by a thread. The bathrooms have no electric outlets and are very outdated. No tables/chairs to sit, unless you hang out in the tiny kitchen which sits 2 (tight). TV is small. The wall mirrors were part of a non-existent dresser. Only one outlet to plug their barely functioning hair dryer. Which had to be placed on the floor since there’s no accommodating furniture. The A/C is SOOOO loud, it’s distracting. The curtains were HORRIBLE. Wrinkled and lightweight (not blackout type), there were different color panels (as if not from the same set). 4 panels to cover the sliding door but 3 different lengths. As soon as the sun was up, so were we. The 2nd room had 2 panels and didn’t cover the sliding glass door. It’s obvious they put together whatever leftovers to these rooms from the updated section of the hotel. No USB plugs anywhere. No alarm clock provided. Must’ve been last updated in the 80s. The Good: staff is very friendly and helpful. The lobby is cute and has a few useful snacks/drinks for purchase. The beds/sheets were comfy and clean. Bathroom had great water pressure. Towels are clean. Shower toiletries provided were nice. Location is convenient (easy in/out). Plenty of parking. I hear the standard rooms are nice/updated…. wish I got what I booked."
