"Surfside is generally a great option for a bit outside of town center, with a nice view, decent sized rooms, nice staff and relatively quiet neighborhood. However, the current renovations have removed much of the sound-dampening aspects (especially the carpets), so it's quite loud if you're a light sleeper (and anyone is talking in the echo-ing hall or nearby vicinity, or they're doing construction outside).
Not really specific to the hotel, but mid-May is fairly cold (with windchill) and amenities like the pool, firepit and bar weren't available. If you want a quiet and relaxed P-town experience (where not many people are around and half the places are not open or on reduced hours), mid-week in mid-May might be nice, but I recommend going closer to the main summer season."
