“Beautiful Location, friendly staff”

We decided to go to Montauk at the last minute this past weekend and found a room at the Surf Lodge. Conveniently located within walking distance of the train, we go to the hotel and checked in. The rooms are awesome. We walked in and found a reasonably sized room with an efficiency kitchen. The bed faced sliding glass doors that look out onto the large pond. Open the doors and you have a small balcony with a hammock.
After checking in we rented two stand up paddle boards from the hotel and jumped right in the water.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

“so.. so..”

I would not recommend this Hotel. The attitude and bad service unfortunately overshadow the fairly decent product. The room was nice with a small deck and hammock overlooking the lake. Towels had stains, the shower sprayed on the ceiling dripping "yellow" water down whilst showering. YUK! One staff member we encountered was very polite and helpful, the rest did not really care.

“Unjustified Attitude”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

Nice spot but staff are way to full of themselves for my liking. Been going every summer for past three years but unlikely to stay again due to the arrogant and unfriendly nature of the staff.

“Summer hideaway from the city”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

If you're looking for gold dresses and classic Hamptons setting, Montauk might not be the place for you. But if you want to see a more real side of the Hamptons, love to surf and like to move your friends from Lower Eastside to the seaside this is the place to be. The Surf Lodge has been a hipster paradice since it first opened a couple of years ago. Since then the owners have also opened Ruschmeyers at the other side of the lake, and a lot of the hipsters have moved over there. The Surf Lodge is located right by a lake. All the rooms have balconys with seaview and a hammock. The rooms are clean and nicely designed. The breakfast is great and so is the hotels restaurant, where I recommend to book a table by the lake for sunset. I find The Surf Lodge a better deal for the price than Ruschmeyers - which rooms are smaller and with no balcony. Be prepared to book ahead, cause the word is definitively ot that The Surf Lodge is a great vacation spot. Bring hat, suncreen and a surfboard. You can rent bikes for 40 dollar a day and cruise around the beaches of Montauk. Take a stroll down by the Lighthouse and catch a wave on your way back!
