great location and even better customer service
Yvonne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and clean

Great budget friendly stay at the beach! Immaculate room with comfortable and cozy linens. Front desk staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. Perfect location for anything you want to do. Would definitely return!
Adrianne, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

First pleasant surprise : location, location, location! Surfer Beach Hotel was literally embedded in the restaurants and shopping of Pacific Beach. We were steps away from the boardwalk and waterfront without suffering excessive noise. Second pleasant surprise: we were upgraded to an ocean-view room, and early check-in without needing to ask. The room was a little dated, but very clean. Staff was super friendly and always available. Would definitely stay here again for a casual weekend getaway!

Krista, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the ocean view and the restaurant right below where I could get great coffee in the morning. The staff that greeted me were both friendly and helpful. I felt that the floor and carpet were sandy and there was a dirty band aid on the floor when I came into the room. But the bed was clean and very very comfy..

4/10 Fair

Not what we thought

Did not look anything like the pictures. Very disappointing. They are remodeling but our room certainly wasn’t. We’ve been on cruise ships with bigger showers. Bad layout in general. However they were very nice when we decided to change hotels and refunded us without charging us a cancellation fee.
Jennie, 5-night trip

Kiah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Loved the restaurant right outside - Woody's: great food, coffee. Typical older beach motel, so not the cleanest, but when the sandy beach is steps away it's understandable.
Jacqueline, 3-night trip
