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.

It says parking is available amenities was a lie! There parking is owned by a different company for 37$ dollars per night. This whole hotel was false advertisement. But we were already here and its only one night. Staff was amazing 👏 very helpful.

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.

The staff were friendly. The hotel was quiet and in a safe area. Lots of dining and shopping nearby. Loved how close the beach was. Room was pretty rundown though. Furniture was very used and stained. Bedding had some stains too. Bathroom door wouldn't shut all the way. Pool was heated and clean tho!

This property is all about LOCATION. The hotel, (perhaps more motel) itself is “tired” and worn, but the accessibility to the ocean, pubs, restaurants etc are fantastic and the views and people watching extraordinary. The staff were friendly and helpful.

There's nothing fancy about this place. I'm not into "fancy" and Surfer Beach Hotel fit the bill! If you're looking for a comfortable place on the beach without (the rooms do have TV, micro and fridge) fancy frills, this is the place!! Thanks, I'll be back. :)

Property had a nice ocean view and was steps from the beach. There was lots of “party noise” from surrounding businesses until late night/early morning. Close to bus stops which made getting around town convenient.
