While staying at hotel I contracted scabies. We had a suite with a double bed each and only I caught it so must have been from the bed I slept in or the blankets only I used. I put a complaint in over two months ago but the customer service has been terrible. Initially I was told it was being investigated and I would hear back within 14 business days. I was then told it had been forwarded to investigators. Each time I contact them asking what is happening I am told the person I have emailed is not the person with information and they will forward on my email. I have asked many times for the email address of who is dealing with this but have not been provided with it. I received one letter from a claims company over a month ago but again with no email address on there, just a phone number and fax. I’m in the uk so reluctant to phone due to costs so again contacted the initial person I dealt with asking for an email address but this was ignored. My family and I feel like hotel has no intention of dealing with this or getting back to us. We love visiting Florida in part due to the excellent customer service we usually receive and as we love the friendly american people. We feel that Surfside inn and suites has greatly let us down and we are very disappointed with the service we have received. As well as the awful symptoms from scabies I suffered the embarrassment of having to stay off work while being treated and my desk being isolated so work could make sure no one else contracted it. The very least hotel could do would be to respond to my emails correctly and give me an apology but none of that has happened. I would advise anyone thinking of staying here to think carefully before they do so. Read less

I also enjoyed having the table and bench seating, as well as the microwave and refrigerator. The pool was also very clean, and my kids enjoyed swimming. The hotel also offers a shuttle to and from Universal, which was nice and saved $34 in parking at the theme park. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, it was an excellent stay. Thank you!
