I will definitely stay here again, the staff was amazing, downside I wish the pool was open or at least should have mentioned it when booking the stay.
The location and staff makes this hotel stand out! Right off the boardwalk, walkable to downtown Pacific Beach night life and food or go the other direction for endless beach access. It is an older hotel in structure and room style, with very basic amenities, but clean and extremely sound proof! We would definitely stay again. Thank you Surfer Beach for a wonderful vacation!!
Great staff! Very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the ocean and palm tree view from our room. Great long walking path right at the property line!
