The hotel room was clean, quiet, spacious, and soothingly decorated. Bathroom featured an overhead rain-style showerhead, and update feel. Beds were unusually comfortable. The hotel is not fancy, but I’d recommend for short or extended stay- good value.

Clean and convenient

Staff was friendly and accomodating upon check-in. Room was large, updated and clean. Location was close to beach. Not much of a view, but great for the price and location. Would stay here again.

My family and I stayed there for a family event. Even though it doesn’t have all the amenities like other hotels. This hotel is a cute and quiet and is perfect for a getaway! Rooms are clean and cute. We have stayed here 3 times in the last 6 months and will stay again when we go back.

Surf City Inn is a small motel located off Pacific Coast Highway. The area is safe and short drive to the beach, restaurants and the bar or. The room was super clean. The check-in was easy and they offered early check in and free parking. I was looking for economy as I was going for a short stay in the room but I would recommend this motel as you certainly get your money’s worth.

I'll be back but with less Luggage

Foolishly I thought I could take my largest suitcase for my Superbowl trip to Long Beach. We stayed at the beach where Surf City Inn is located, but I think that's a little out of Long Beach. That was fine by me since back in the OG, I attended CSULB. Sunset Beach is calmer and my room was perfect except no stairs. I will come back, but I'll be curious to know how they work around that.
