Love staying at the Surf Inn. Close to everything in Gualala with a stunning view out the back! The manager was very helpful when I had to move my stay at the last minute and was able to accommodate the change.

We really like the location, size, and the outdoor seating area is great. This is our second visit and we will hopefully return again. Everything was good in the room. There were some things that were broken, which didn’t really affect us (bathroom fan, hair dryer) but seemed like minor things to attend to, so it felt a little neglected. We didn’t interact with the staff, so that’s why that rating is average - it should be a “doesn’t apply”.

The bathtub and shower would not work. We had no way to shower. No water. My credit card was charged for two nights. I only booked one thru Expedia and had proof. Luckily i saw the charge on my phone soon after checkin and the nice lady at reception corrected it.
