Here's the frustrating account:<blockquote><p> At the time of this posting, I have emailed the Surf Lodge 3 times inquiring about rates and availability with not one single reply. They have recently removed the email addresses from their website.<p> I have also called (no exaggeration) 12 times to only receive a busy signal or no answer. <p> They said the hotel is "beachy" and "laid back" but this is ridiculous! juliana 2008-06-03T15:56:16-05:00 41.044152 -71.950070 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/5/19/105838/872 <![CDATA[<p><p><i>[<b>UPDATE</b>: Rooms are sold out for this weekend and next.

The newest hotel in the Hamptons is attempting to set a laid-back vibe for its visitors. Found on the website: <blockquote><p>The location is key and the environment is truly "Montauk";flip-flops, vintage Land Rovers, surfboards on the roof, a lakeside bonfire, all set to a soundtrack of Bob Marley to the Rolling Stones, but with an international taste level and an underlying energy.</blockquote></p><p>Omg.
