Enjoyed Surf City Inn

We stayed at the Surf City Inn while in town for a gymnastics meet. Great employees and we enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfortable and rooms were plenty spacious for my son and I. The location was very convenient right off of PCH and close to everything. Great local restaurants close by too.

This was my second stay. The location is terrific and pedestrian friendly - short walks to beach, restaurants, fun bars, the historic water tower. A friendly and helpful staff. Free covered parking. Not disabled-friendly: no elevators and all rooms are on second and third floors with steep stairwells. Basic and not fancy - no pool, breakfast or other amenities. Right on PCH, so rooms on that side exposed to traffic noise. But a good value for the location and price. I am likely to return.

The hotel room was clean, quiet, spacious, and soothingly decorated. Bathroom featured an overhead rain-style showerhead, and update feel. Beds were unusually comfortable. The hotel is not fancy, but I’d recommend for short or extended stay- good value.

Hotel was reasonably priced in a convenient location. The stairs were a bit steep, especially for taking luggage up. Overall it was a good place to stay short term.

Michael

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was relatively clean- though there was some hair in the bathtub/shower. It smelled like cleaning chemicals a bit, so at least it was clear they did clean the room. The inn is right on the highway, so you really can’t walk anywhere-seems like it would be dangerous to try to walk to the beach/water. Parking was great-lots of available spots, didn’t have to worry about finding a place to park. THERE IS NO ELEVETOR. I didn’t mind much, but if you have trouble walking, or climbing stairs, don’t stay here. No working vending machines on site, they are all broken. It felt a little sketchy, but it was fine for the short stay I had here. Overall not terrible. Probably wouldn’t stay here again, but I’ve definitely stayed at worse hotels over the years. 2* is about right.
