The amenities- free parking. That’s it. I can find that at any parking facility. The Surf should be re named -“ The parking spot “ it’s just a cut above a pretty good park spot. No phone, no service of any kind, no soul, no food, no clean linens, no water pressure in the shower, one at a time in the lobby, no fun, no point…cold and empty. Who are the owners of this place? It’s a sad and lonely place

Perfect location. The place is cozy, clean, and modern. It’s close to the ocean, and you can hear the waves from the room. Parking is right by the units. I appreciated having a fridge and microwave. Everything was well kept. I’ll stay here again whenever I’m in between places in Central California. No AC. They did have a ceiling fan.

Decent motel close to the Fisherman's Wharf area. (Short drive) We found no problem with the key working. Just be patient with it. Checked in at 3 so we had a selection of parking spots to choose from. Be careful if showering as the tile can be slippery.

Manuel

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was cold and dreary. While it offers free parking, that’s about the only positive thing going for it! The rooms are old, furniture ran down and there isn’t even a phone in the guest rooms! This is unheard of — it’s 2026 for god sake, can’t even reach the front desk if one needs, I don’t get that at all! It’s the most basic part of checking into a motel/ hotel — you must have a way to communicate to the desk- in an emergency or whatever the case! There’s no excuse for that- it makes an already substandard room feel that much more disconnected! I won’t be back.

Property was rundown, moldy, rusted and dusty. If you have respiratory issues don’t stay here. The AC/Heat unit is filthy. The fan doesn’t work. There was dirt and hair on the floor and clean towels. I brought the issues up to the property manager on duty. He couldn’t care less. Save your money stay elsewhere.
