Top Circles Hotel Reviews

Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"Decent experience, nothing special. Our kids appreciated the pool for sure and somewhat close walking distance to the boardwalk. There was hair in our shower drain, not a huge deal but a little ick. We also got called from the hotel staff that we were making too much noise the morning we were leaving, simply walking around to pack up when the night before there were several parties going on around us and our kids couldn't fall asleep and that went on until about 2am."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located near the boardwalk, West Cliff walk and downtown restaurants and entertainment. Parking is tight, but we always got a space. The name is deceptive; it’s not a lodge, it’s a three story exterior corridor motel. It’s a bit pricey for what it is, but the location is very good."

Carousel Beach Inn

8/10 Good

"Such a cute place! Great location to the boardwalk we didn’t need to bring so much because going back to the hotel to grab beach stuff was so convenient. The only thing they can improve on is the hot water, it was pretty lukewarm for every shower. But the staff was super friendly, it’s close to the boardwalk and the place had personality which i loved!"

Chaminade Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I came here with my girlfriend because went to go see the growlers. Definitely hands-down one of the best resorts I’ve ever been to. Everything was really easy to get around. The pool is definitely warm for the cold nights. Aired in the room was exactly how I expected. I love the theme. Thankfully, they do have Wi-Fi because we are up in the mountain. Everything else around it beautiful."

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I initially wasn’t happy with having no one to check us in when we are first arrived however, once that situation was fixed were more than pleased with our room and we also had a great view of the beach from our balcony. Very big room only problem is they have no carpet on the floor it’s the fake plastic floor, which is noisy when you walk on it at night overall very good experience and will go back there again."
