The room was clean. Ocean side view was a stretch. Construction directly in front of the hotel while we were there. Need to walk rather far to get to walking beach. Nice pool. Ocean front rooms look nice. Loved the lobster gummy candies upon check in.

Great views. Great walking, running, surfing and general beach location. Place has a pretty cool surf vibe. The heated pool area is really nice. Some of the best sunrises right here too. I didn’t happen to notice if breakfast was offered or made for a fee, most of the time the office building didn’t open until later in the morning so it there is a breakfast, its a late one. overall, awesome place

Our room was clean and comfortable. We especially loved the outdoor pool. The waitress we had for breakfast was friendly and kind. There was no shampoo in the room, but we asked and were given a bottle. We had also forgotten our toothpaste. Housekeeping brought us two small tubes. Thank you!!! It was wonderful to be able to sit on the front deck and watch the ocean.

The bar outside still closed from last years stay as it was this past weekend :( There was no hair blower in our room 109 but there was one in my sons room, 310. The breakfast area was nice and coffee too. Friendly reception and good welcoming from the desk employees. The place needs more parking area for people coming back from a later diner time around 8:30 pm.

My wife and I decided to do a weekend getaway for our anniversary to York Beach. After reviewing the options for hotels, we choose the Ocean Surf, and were not disappointed. This place was recently renovated, and the rooms were very modern and clean. Additionally, the redone pool area provided two pools depending on if you wanted a quiet side or the kid-friendly one. We had breakfast in their little cafe in the lobby, and it was the best avocado toast I have ever had. Lastly, we did have an issue with our room TV, which they were unable to repair, or move us to another room due to full capacity, so the wonderful staff and management provided us compensation for the inconvenience. I highly recommend Ocean Surf if you’re heading to YB for a romantic getaway, or with the family.

We arrived on a Saturday and the pool was closed. Upon arriving for check-in around 4:30 we were told our room wasn’t ready. Check-in is at 4. Shortly after, a manger arrived and gave us a different room that was ready. The location is great if the beach is your goal, really beautiful and not far from Nubble Lighthouse; 2 miles to downtown. There is no elevator so keep that in mind for travelers who need one.

Went to checknin at 4; rooms not ready. Was told “we can’t give you a time when it will be.” Um, it’s your 4 pm check in. Waited and went back at 4:35 pm and li e as I wasn’t only one. It’s summertime; no bar at pool and although advertised on website, no bar, coffee, etc. “Sorry, there’s no service.” Rooms are so no frills and hotel newish; paint needs redoing, TV didn’t work. Too many other hotels in the area.

We stayed here recently because we wanted a dog-friendly getaway, and it’s one of the few places in York that allows dogs. I know they recently opened, so I’m sure they are working things out, but we had some issues. Proximity to the beach is excellent and the pool was very nice. Beds were comfortable. Parking was easy and close to room. The main issue is that we stayed Wednesday through Sunday, and our room was never cleaned once. After three days we ran out of towels and toilet paper, and staff seemed surprised when we asked for more. We’ve stayed at other dog-friendly hotels that provide dog treats or bowls for pets. This hotel didn’t do this, but at least they had a pet relief area with waste bags and a disposal station. The vanity was very small and really didn’t appreciate the bathroom door being see through. The bathroom fan smelled strongly like onions or garlic, so we kept it off. We also noticed several small bugs in the room. The room also lacked any decor, so it didn’t have a beachy feel. Beds were comfortable.

We had a really enjoyable stay at Ocean Surf at York Beach and could definitely see the investment the property is making in upgrading the guest experience. The newly renovated pool was a highlight, and the large entertainment tent was such a fun addition. Having food and beverages available on-site made it easy to spend the day relaxing without having to leave the property. Our room was on the smaller side, but it had been nicely renovated and worked well for our small family. The staff throughout the property were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful during our stay. We also really enjoyed the café—the food was very good, although a few menu items were unavailable on a couple of occasions. There are a few areas that, with some attention, could really elevate the experience. The café appeared to have only one waitress, and while she worked incredibly hard, I don't think the service would have kept up if the hotel had been at full occupancy. In contrast, the pool and entertainment tent staff were fantastic and kept everything running smoothly. Our balcony also had quite a few cobwebs, and a little more attention to exterior maintenance would have made a noticeable difference. Overall, we left with a very positive impression. It's clear the owners are investing in the property, and those renovations are paying off. With a few additional upgrades and some staffing improvements, I could easily see Ocean Surf becoming a solid 4 out of 5 destination. We'd definitely consider
