The Spotlight on The Surfside Hotel

Beachfront Vibes with a Concert-Ready Location

Modern and peaceful, The Surfside Hotel in Stratford, CT is a breezy, beachside retreat just minutes from local music venues and nightlife. Located a quick 3-minute stroll from Lordship Beach and within walking distance to Long Beach, this laid-back 3-star hotel blends coastal charm with practical comfort. With a private beach area, free bikes, air-conditioned rooms, and a welcoming on-site restaurant and bar, it's a solid pick for music fans looking to unwind before or after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

With its quiet beachfront setting away from the bustle, The Surfside Hotel offers the kind of calm you’ll appreciate after a loud night out. It’s a short drive or ride-share from several local music venues, and the hotel’s free parking and complimentary bikes make getting around easy. The vibe is relaxed, and while check-out is on the early side at 9:00 AM, the tranquil atmosphere makes it easy to turn in early—or just enjoy a sunrise by the water.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a fun, beachy weekend
Solo travelers checking off a must-see tour stop
Couples planning a romantic concert getaway
Fans who want some peace and quiet after the encore
Budget-conscious fans who like perks like free parking and WiFi

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up American classics and is a convenient option for a pre-show meal. Guests can also enjoy drinks at the bar or explore walkable dining spots in the area. While there’s no mention of 24/7 room service, the in-room fridges come in handy for late-night snacks. Just note: breakfast availability may be limited, especially after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel doesn’t feature live music on-site, its bar is a cozy spot for a nightcap. Several local bars and lounges are within a short drive, and the beachfront setting makes for a perfect wind-down walk under the stars.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness of the rooms, the friendly staff, and the location just steps from the beach. Reviewers often mention the peaceful vibe and free parking as standout perks. The balcony rooms are especially popular for post-concert relaxation.

Areas for Improvement

The early 9:00 AM check-out can feel a bit rushed after a late night out, and breakfast options aren’t always widely available. While there’s no pool or spa, the beachside access makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want beachside relaxation, local charm, and easy access to music venues, The Surfside Hotel hits the right note.

Super Fun Empty Nester Weekend...

Liked: This quaint and quirky little hotel is right on a little spit of beach on the Long Island Soung. Free use of bikes, paddle boards, kayaks and yoga for guests! It's quiet and a fun place to explore for a few days.
Disliked: The photos on the website don't tell the entire story, if you will, so when our room on the first floor (which we liked) had an enclosed concrete patio, it was not what I expected. The patio furniture could use refreshing, and more thoughtful attention to the interior furniture placement would be nice.

Amazing time and would definitely...

Liked: Location was amazing. The bed was comfortable. The food was amazing also.
Disliked: Shower curtain needs to be a little longer because the water flows out over the handicap entrance. We felt badly the towels got soaked on the floor.
