The motel was very clean and provided everything needed for a simple 1-night stay. It was not the nicest place and the lighting in the room could have been improved, but we were pleased with our stay, the price was excellent, and we would definitely stay there again under similar circumstances.

Mostly a good stay but they have issues with hot water. I called the reception to tell them there was no hot water and they said to turn the hot water at the sink while using the shower to make it work. That works. But the next morning at 6 am It did not. Water was cold.

The Surf Inn is an amazing well designed modern property that delivers AWESOME value, service with the best “coffee machine” I’ve ever experienced on my travels! The front desk staff make my stays smooth…even when PG&E has an area wide power outage! (I will never forget that night, still felt safe & secure in my room as they kept me updated throughout the night)

A very nice property that seems to be continuing remodeling. The host Mike was pleasant & helpful. My room was spacious with 1 king bed at a great nightly rate, mattress was perfect. Very nice outdoor furniture to lounge & nice coffee machine in lobby. I hope to return soon for another stay. Thank you
