Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Staff, Clean Room, Affordable Rate on Rooms"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Stayed at La Bahia for two nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: - nice amenities! The gym was clean with a pretty good selection, the pool was super pretty with a nice sized hot tub, and we loved our spa experience (we got an outdoor couples massage) - the hotel’s decor was well designed and continued in the guest rooms - our room was spacious and liked how big the bathroom was - we had a room with a pool view and it was fun to just hop over the short barrier and grab a drink from the pool bar hehehe - super close to the boardwalk and warf Cons: - some parts of our room didn’t seem the cleanest (our room’s tea kettle had a hair in it and there were some glass rings stuck on the coffee counter) - the bed was really soft (not in a good way) and made it hard for my husband to get a good sleep - the low tide restaurant associated with the hotel was a bit disappointing and it took a long time to receive our breakfast after we ordered - I don’t know how well their text the front desk communication works… tried texting for an item to be sent to our room and after waiting for a reply for 20min, I ended up calling the front desk While I give this place a 4/5, I still don’t think it’s worth the bang for your buck. If you’re paying that much for a nights stay, the place has gotta be pretty close to perfection and I don’t think it’s there yet."
