We signed up for a king-size bed/standard room and we booked it months in advance for a couple of nights in November. We were initially put on the bottom floor facing away from the beach and the room was very small and not what we signed up for with this hotel. Luckily, we asked to move to another room and there was a room available on the second floor, semi-facing the ocean that was much bigger and it had a couch in it. The hotel is in a good location for walking the boardwalk and going to eat/have drinks at any of the bars or restaurants on the beach.

Weekend getaway
We made a reservation for 3 nights in a room with a king bed. The 1st night, we discovered when going to bed that the bed was actually a queen and in bad shape. We contacted the front desk and was offered another room but declined to move until the morning since we had already settled in for the night. The next day we packed everything up and were moved to a room with a king bed that was more comfortable for the following 2 nights. Unfortunately, the room was right next to the laundry room and our view was obstructed at best.

Not a bad stay
Overall the stay at Surfer Beach hotel was average. I was very happy to have a full kitchenette in the unit from there the ammenaties went down hill. The internet connection was the worst I've ever had, worse than when dial up was first invented and the TV reception was subpar. But most people don't go to the beach for internet and TV. The location was great, right on the beach and the house keeper was wonerful.

GREAT for a fiftyish woman traveling alone!
I booked this hotel on line. All I wanted was a hotel on the beach.... but I got so much more... location location location... the bus line was close and EASY... access to Old Town, Balboa Park, La Jolla. Walking distance to a variety of restaurants, a grocery store, shopping, shell gathering and even a bead shop to make your own jewelry. So much to do and not enough time. I would definately stay there again!

Ralph's Grocery has a great variety of wine, prepared foods, and fresh fruit. The Surfer Beach Hotel has ample refigerators in the rooms.... Stock up on locally grown strawberries!!!

Hotel on the Beach
First time at this hotel. Wonderful access to boardwalk and private entry to hotel. Room with balcony and terrific view of ocean. Could hear the waves at night. First room, smelled musty by the elevators and quite loud. When I went back to the front desk, they changed my room. Second room...could not have been happier. Online booking said had view when checked site on reserving. Hotel said all online rooms are NO view. Someone needs to fix that.

In Hotel
Try to park somewhere else other than the motel lot. They charge $15 a night which I wasn't aware of until I checked in. No big deal, but would've been nice to have an idea before.

This hotel is right on the beach. Excellent location. Do not expect a 5 star hotel and you will be fine. Room was very comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Close to beach, shops, restaurants, and other site seeing areas. Parking is tight, but worth the money to have a safe spot every night.
