Surfer Beach Hotel

Location was great, right on the beach, cute little rooms with comfy beds, balconies overlooking the gorgeous Pacific. Amenities were pretty minimal but we didn’t mind.

This is our years long tradition place we keep coming back to- it has the best location right on Pacific beach. It’s great to start the day with a coffee from Woodies right outside the hotel gate and walk forever on the beach! The staff is wonderful! We have known Mercedes for years and she always has a smile and kind reception! The junior suites are spacious with a bar area with sink, microwave and fridge. The beds are so comfortable and you can hear the waves at night. It’s a great vacation there!

Ocean view room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Real, down to earth experience... it's not fancy like a Hilton, it's welcoming and more like and old fashioned motel with a few upgrades and sitting right on the beach. There's no food served because they're surrounded by all sorts of wonderful places to eat any kind of food you can imagine. The microwave is in the lobby but your room has a fridge for those left-overs, snacks and beverages. I liked the liveliness on the boardwalk, the chatter of people on the beach all mixed in with the soothing sound of the waves... it's a soothing sound. When I wanted quiet, I just closed the doors. This place is all about what you're going to do outside and there's a lot to do.

THE LOCATION WAS AMAZING!! I was nervous because so many reviews mentioned the smell of mold, but other than the normal atmosphere caused by being close to the beach and the staff not using those flowery, fake "air fresheners", which I REALLY hate, there wasn't any problem with this in my opinion--and I'm very sensitive to airborne contaminants. Would DEFINITELY stay here again.

I loved being so close to the ocean. The room was clean and maid service through reservation was a nice touch. The pool was clean and water temperature was perfect.
