A motel with basic but clean rooms. We needed a place to stay before an early morning flight from JFK and Surfside provided a good place to stay. I can't comment on local amenities and restaurants because we arrived very late from NYC but can say that we had a comfortable overnight stay and that the free airport transfer was... More

We stayed here for a night to catch an early flight from JFK the next day. Really nice views of Jamaica Bay and rooms have clean beds and an LCD tv. Ample parking if you have a car and hotel also provides a free shuttle to JFK. The carpet in the room needs to be cleaner though and wifi signal... More

The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable and it was nice to have the HDTV and all the channels included. Staff was very helpful also.. stayed 3 nights but would have stayed longer. If you have a car with you and you plan on going to Manhattan, I suggest parking near the Aquaduct-North Conduit Ave station to take the... More

I needed to find a good place to stay for a night in New York City, and after reading some reviews of the place I decided to go there. The place was clean, the beds were comfortable and it was a nice experience overall. I would strongly consider staying in this motel whenever I visit NYC again.

I have traveled all over the world and the staff at this motel in Howard Beach rates as well as any 4 star staff from any hotel. The accommodations were awesome and rooms were spacious and very comfortable. It was just a subway ride into Manhattan. It is a quiet place to get away from the city and it is... More

In today's fast paced world...all too often "service, kindness, respect" are all forgotten. My son was staying at the Surfside 3 motel when he experienced a flat tire, being from out of town, he had no idea where to go..... The staff went into action, found a local tire store, printed directions and called ahead to let them know he... More
