Ocean Surf at York Beach

Ocean Surf at York Beach

10/10 Excellent
"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."
