A wonderful stay! The hotel was very clean and lovely… the location was the best! Walkable to all the happening places and best of all it was right on the beach! A little pricey, but would definitely come here again.

This building has not been updated in years and it really shows. The beds and pillows are uncomfortable. There is no microwave. The TV channels were unavailable at times and CNN had no voice, just a picture. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Location was nice. AC Unit inside cover hasn't been clean for months dust all over it. Furniture a little outdated. Walls very thin. You can hear everything from the rooms around you. Hotel rooms need an update renovation.

Old and unkept. Weak spots in floor, furniture old, balcony over looks old nasty roof of lower level and attached restaurant, over looks patio of restaurant so hear dishes and people eating all day, when you walk down to boardwalk you walk behind Woodys small restaurant so see all their trash. Was close to beach and good view of beach if didn’t look at roof line. Also didn’t know until we got there that we had to pay another $110 to park for 3 days. Assume paid for hotel that included parking in their lot.

We love the Surfer Beach hotel! It is the classic beach hotel with the vibe that feels like Pacific Beach! The staff is always great. It is a home away from home for us!

The location is fantastic!!!! But it could use a few perks such as beach chairs and the vending machines and ice machine were pretty sketch. An update and relocation of those would be great. Also, carry some Pepsi products. A mountain dew would have made a huge difference.

Interesting. Nothing fancy. Sofa in room was ripped. Window curtains dos not close all the way even though the parking lot was designed to have cars park directly in front of windows only 3 to 4ft away headlights can basically shine through to give perspestive.
