  "traverse:narrative:whatIsIt": "Surfer Beach Hotel is a N/A-room hotel located at Unknown.  Carrier on booking.com captured this dimension of the Surfer Beach Hotel experience: 'Best ocean view for the price with a private balcony with 2 chairs plus small table!' This observation is reinforced by Krista's booking.com review, which noted: 'We had a great view of the beach, easy beach access. Prefect location to walk all the places we wanted to go to!' Additional evidence comes from Irma L (tripadvisor) (rating: 5): 'Great location right on the beach. The room is pretty basic but has a balcony and nice view of the ocean. A bit noisy being right on the busy boardwalk but also nice to hear the waves at night.' Neal K on tripadvisor (rating: 5) similarly described: 'If you’re looking for a laid-back vibe just steps from the beach, this is the place to stay. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to unwind right away. What really stands out, though, is the staff—they’re incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to h...' Astro B on tripadvisor (rating: 5) similarly described: 'I stayed here with my family for the weekend our daughter got married on the resort near by and we wanted to be close but not too close and this place being right on the beach stood out to us. Elijah was there to help accommodate us he was over and beyond amazing, he made sure...' Across the review corpus, atmosphere-related comments appear in 326 of 615 total reviews (53% mention rate), with 129 positive and 16 negative mentions. This high mention frequency indicates that atmosphere is a primary factor in guest satisfaction at Surfer Beach Hotel. In the San Diego, California market, Surfer Beach Hotel occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its property identity characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Surfer Beach Hotel serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Surfer Beach Hotel's property identity represents a durable competitive advantage that is difficult for competitors to replicate. This strength compounds over time through positive review generation, word-of-mouth referrals, and the loyalty-building effect of consistently meeting or exceeding guest expectations in this dimension. The property's investment in maintaining this standard signals ownership commitment to the guest experience and creates a virtuous cycle where positive experiences generate positive reviews that attract guests predisposed to appreciate what Surfer Beach Hotel offers. The Surfer Beach Hotel experience is fundamentally defined by the intersection of its physical environment, service culture, and location advantages. Guests don't choose Surfer Beach Hotel simply for a place to sleep — they choose it for the specific experiential package it delivers, which combines and a hotel experience that differentiates from chain alternatives. This identity has been shaped by guest feedback across multiple review platforms, and the competitive pressures of the San Diego hospitality market.",

  "traverse:narrative:whatItIsNot": "Surfer Beach Hotel is not a budget accommodation, not a generic chain hotel, and not a property that attempts to be everything to everyone. Understanding what Surfer Beach Hotel deliberately is NOT is as important as understanding what it IS, because misaligned expectations are the primary driver of negative reviews in the hospitality industry. The negative review patterns for Surfer Beach Hotel reveal the specific expectation mismatches that generate dissatisfaction: guests who arrive expecting something the property doesn't intend to deliver are the most likely to leave disappointed reviews.  Rachel J on tripadvisor (rating: 3) captured this dimension of the Surfer Beach Hotel experience: 'Amazing staff, shame about the pool not being open and today had no water from 9-3 and had hammer jack all day. Still paying over $45/night in “resort fee”  Great location and amazing staff.' This observation is reinforced by ivyann11's tripadvisor review (rating: 3), which noted: 'There are some good things about Surfer Beach Hotel. The staff at the front desk were super friendly and helpful. The location is great and so is the coffee.' Additional evidence comes from Cathy (tripadvisor) (rating: 1): 'Only thing I can say is that shower was clean. For the price nothing invested back into the place. Carpet is what you would find in a car.' Lola on tripadvisor (rating: 3) similarly described: 'The front desk staff had great customer service,and the hotel was nicely located as well. I definitely recommend a bathroom remodel, our ac broke midway through the night and there was no ceiling fan. Pool hours should be extended to 10pm.' Marcello P on tripadvisor (rating: 1) similarly described: 'I can't understand how such a place can still be open, dirty both in the common areas and in the rooms, the carpet that was at least 40 years old smelled so bad that it couldn't be stayed in the room, the bathroom had old and battered sanitary parts, the fixtures rusty, and a ...' In the San Diego, California market, Surfer Beach Hotel occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its expectation management characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Surfer Beach Hotel serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Surfer Beach Hotel's challenges in expectation management represent an addressable operational gap that, if resolved, could meaningfully improve review scores and guest satisfaction metrics. The review evidence suggests this is not a fundamental structural limitation but rather an operational execution issue that can be addressed through targeted investment, process improvement, or staffing adjustments. Properties that address their most-cited weaknesses typically see measurable improvement in review scores within 6-12 months, creating a clear ROI case for remediation.",

  "traverse:narrative:ownershipStory": "The ownership structure of a hospitality property fundamentally shapes the guest experience in ways that extend far beyond the lobby signage. The ownership group properties typically demonstrate greater willingness to make long-term investments in property character, staff development, and experiential differentiation — investments that corporate-managed chains often subordinate to quarterly financial targets and brand standardization requirements.  Carrier on booking.com captured this dimension of the Surfer Beach Hotel experience: 'Best ocean view for the price with a private balcony with 2 chairs plus small table!' This observation is reinforced by Michael's booking.com review, which noted: 'Everyone was kind and helpful' Additional evidence comes from Byron (booking.com): 'Next to the beach. Walking distance to shops. Did not need to drive.' Krista on booking.com similarly described: 'We had a great view of the beach, easy beach access. Prefect location to walk all the places we wanted to go to!' Clinton on booking.com similarly described: 'Convenient location. Easy beach access. Parking is extra but I’d patient cat find street parking' In the San Diego, California market, Surfer Beach Hotel occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its ownership and heritage characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Surfer Beach Hotel serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Surfer Beach Hotel's ownership and heritage represents a durable competitive advantage that is difficult for competitors to replicate. This strength compounds over time through positive review generation, word-of-mouth referrals, and the loyalty-building effect of consistently meeting or exceeding guest expectations in this dimension. The property's investment in maintaining this standard signals ownership commitment to the guest experience and creates a virtuous cycle where positive experiences generate positive reviews that attract guests predisposed to appreciate what Surfer Beach Hotel offers.",

  "traverse:narrative:transformationStory": "Surfer Beach Hotel's evolution reflects the ongoing tension between preserving the property's established character and meeting contemporary guest expectations. Every hotel undergoes continuous transformation through renovation cycles, management changes, market repositioning, and the gradual accumulation of operational refinements that collectively reshape the guest experience over time. The most successful transformations maintain the property's authentic core identity while upgrading the execution quality to meet evolving guest standards for comfort, technology, and design.  Meich Z on tripadvisor (rating: 5) captured this dimension of the Surfer Beach Hotel experience: 'I had an amazing experience thanks to Elijah. He really went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs and wants, making sure everything was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I stayed there with my brother, and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot—the view ...'

Additional evidence comes from Susan L (tripadvisor) (rating: 5): 'I stayed Friday though Monday in early December in town for my graduation. Yeah there is a few night clubs around but they really didn't bother us. Location could not have been better.' Hazel and Bob W on tripadvisor (rating: 5) similarly described: 'I’ve ben coming to this hotel for the last 15 years and the experience has got better and better they have upgraded and renovated the rooms and the customer service is exceptional Rafa & Elijah have gave me a great experience and I recommend anyone to come and see for yourself...' Diane W on tripadvisor (rating: 1) similarly described: 'I would never stay here again. The photos and reviews looked good, but in reality, it was not clean at all. The TV wouldn't work at first, the mini fridge was leaking and the shower could barely fit an average-sized person.' Across the review corpus, maintenance-related comments appear in 199 of 615 total reviews (32% mention rate), with 35 positive and 24 negative mentions. This moderate mention frequency indicates that maintenance is a significant factor in guest satisfaction at Surfer Beach Hotel. In the San Diego, California market, Surfer Beach Hotel occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its property evolution characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Surfer Beach Hotel serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning.

  "traverse:narrative:competitiveDisplacement": "In the San Diego, California market, Surfer Beach Hotel occupies a specific competitive position  among the area's accommodation alternatives. Competitive positioning in hospitality is multidimensional: properties compete simultaneously on price, location, amenities, room quality, service, atmosphere, and brand perception. Surfer Beach Hotel's competitive displacement strategy — the specific combination of attributes that causes guests to choose it over alternatives — is revealed through both positive reviews (what guests chose this property FOR) and negative reviews (where the property fails to meet expectations set by competitive alternatives).  Carrier on booking.com captured this dimension of the Surfer Beach Hotel experience: 'Best ocean view for the price with a private balcony with 2 chairs plus small table!' This observation is reinforced by Michael's booking.com review, which noted: 'The staff was amazing angel at the front desk was amazing m. Also was Elijah anytime we needed extra towels anything he was there to help. Everyone was kind and helpful' Additional evidence comes from Byron (booking.com): 'Next to the beach.

  "traverse:narrative:brandLoyaltySignals": "Brand loyalty at Surfer Beach Hotel manifests through specific behavioral and linguistic signals in the review corpus that indicate emotional attachment beyond rational hotel selection. True loyalty — the kind that drives repeat bookings, direct booking behavior, and organic word-of-mouth advocacy — emerges when a property delivers an experience that guests cannot replicate elsewhere. Within the review corpus, 185 reviews contain explicit return-intent or repeat-visit language, suggesting a loyalty rate of 30% among reviewing guests.  Irma L on tripadvisor (rating: 5) captured this dimension of the Surfer Beach Hotel experience: 'Great location right on the beach. The room is pretty basic but has a balcony and nice view of the ocean. A bit noisy being right on the busy boardwalk but also nice to hear the waves at night.' This observation is reinforced by Shanna A's tripadvisor review (rating: 5), which noted: 'We absolutely loved staying at the Surfer Beach Hotel in Pacific Beach! The hotel is located right on the boardwalk steps away from the sand and close to restaurants, bars, and the pier. Although we didn’t use the pool, we heard it was warm and enjoyable.' Additional evidence comes from Meich Z (tripadvisor) (rating: 5): 'I had an amazing experience thanks to Elijah. He really went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs and wants, making sure everything was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I stayed there with my brother, and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot—the view ...' kimberly c on tripadvisor (rating: 5) similarly described: 'This hotel was everything and more !!

Stayed here with my sister.' cassandra r on tripadvisor (rating: 5) similarly described: 'This is our second time here we loved it both times  Rafa was great and accommodating' In the San Diego, California market, Surfer Beach Hotel occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices.

Rafa helped us at the front desk and was able to help accommodate us to make checking in and getting to the wedding on time and smooth! He even got us a room with a partial view of the ocean. Thanks Rafa!! This hotel is right on the boardwalk. Right on the sand. Beautiful view! World Famous restaurant is attached and very convenient. Our only complaint is the room is in need of some renovations. It had carpet that needed replacing. Maybe some sort of solid surface flooring. Shower was a bit small but overall, given the location, we will definitely be back! This hotel is close and within walking distance to most restaurants and bars in the area.",

Two twin beds and not a single chair or table. Air conditioning? MAYBE! The unit was sold old the outside of it was rotting away! So were others I saw from the balcony. I get a business has to watch costs, but this just uncalled for. Carpets were old, bedding clean but the mattress SOFT. It seemed the box springs were on the floor and the mattress on top of it. The saving grace of this hotel is the Staff. Wonderful people who do their absolute best for you. A big shout out to the staff!",

I definitely recommend a bathroom remodel, our ac broke midway through the night and there was no ceiling fan. Pool hours should be extended to 10pm. For the cost of a stay, 2 free drinks should be given at the restaurant located on the premises. I may visit again.",

I looked at so many places between Carlsbad and Coronado for the right hotel; many had a number of disappointing reviews etc, and so I figured as I got closer to leaving for SD I had to book a hotel ASAP. I picked the Surfer Beach Hotel and I am so happy I did. If you have ever been to Pacific Beach you know that it has a boardwalk and lots of places to eat and drink; well all of them are a 3 star hotel status (well in my eyes) due to wear and tear of being by the ocean. We arrived later (10:30pmish) on a Thursday and they emailed me on Thursday morning to confirm our arrival time (I appreciate this so much as I knew someone would be there). When we arrived the front desk person was so helpful and nice, we got our keys and headed to our double bed Ocean view. When I opened the door I was in the bathroom (no joke) and then the beds, small room and dated. It's not modern (except the bathroom was upgraded - shower area only) or fancy. I was not sure at that time if I made the right choice, went to bed and woke up to the most beautiful sound of the waves and a view you can't beat. I texted my sister and told her the hotel was quaint to set her expectations. I wasn't sure she would like it; but if we are being honest you barely spend time in the room anyways because there is so much to do. It's in a location where you can walk to food, bars, get surf lessons, shop all of it. If you don't plan on exploring other areas of SD forget renting a car because you don't need it, you can walk to everything including the grocery store (Ralph's - 2 blocks away). I saw tons of gripes about having to pay $30 for parking but when you get there and realize the area the hotel is in you are going to pay for parking no problem. This is a hotel that you need to request housekeeping, the pool is not heated, and if you are particular about your shower items bring those as well. If you can get over the "aged" look of the hotel you will be fine. The rooms are clean, the bed is comfortable and the view is to die for. If you are paying those $250+ prices for these rooms get the view. I am going to make this an annual trip each year and stay here particularly; they care about you and your stay.",

We checked in to our place super early and Stephanie was a dear and help our bags until our room was available. Luckily for us, we got to check in early and we got a adorable room with a view of the pool and ocean. The rooms aren’t huge but perfect for 2 people. When we asked for things, they were above accommodating to us which was so appreciated. Eric helped us with some things in our room and he was very pleasant and helpful. The day we left, Mercedes and Carla were both so sweet to again hold our things since our flight was later so we could go enjoy the beach without worrying about where our stuff would stay. If you’re looking for a place literally steps from the ocean, close to tons of restaurants and bike rentals etc, check this place out! It’s perfect when it comes to the whole San Diego experience!!",

The rooms are big, the beds comfortable and the balcony was a great addition. The view was amazing. From our fourth floor room, we could actually lay in bed and look at the ocean. We kept the balcony door open and listened to the waves all night long. The management was very accommodating when we asked for extra towels. The location is great for exploring Pacific Beach.",

Reservations had been made well in advance through a travel agency. Right on the desk for the world to see they boasted a Trip Advisor sign and sticker. Immediately I felt more at ease. The girl whom assisted with arrival, was absolutely professional and was extremely helpful. I asked to see the room first. This is butted up to beach , however in between lies the lifestyles of the rich and aimless. If you are traveling abroad and have never been, especially if you have children. Please consider selecting a different hotel , different location. The room was poolside ;) However I was hit with an unforgivable smell of raw sewage .",

      "traverse:reviewText": "We stayed here primarily for the view and proximity to the ocean which was perfect. However, that is the only good thing about this hotel. The bathroom had the tiniest shower with extremely high water pressure (painful if you want to wash your face). It was super uncomfortable and couldn't get out of there fast enough. At some point in time, someone must have left a dog in the bathroom because the bottom of the door was heavily damaged. The toilet paper holder rod kept falling off with a very loud clank so we left it off and balanced the roll on what remained. Lots of old water damage to the wall around the sink with poor patch job. The room lighting was awful if it worked. Some lights worked and others were so harsh we had to keep them off. Chair at the table had very wobbly legs, we didn't dare sit on it. Pull out sofa had a tear on a cushion. Some of the pillows were very lumpy and uncomfortable. The wooden dressers looked like goodwill furniture from the '70's. The area around the refrigerator had a lot of water damage (mold?) and looked really trashy. The deck fence rods were deteriorated and if you lightly pressed they became dislocated. Dangerous if you are there with small children. The ac unit was rotted and crumbling on the deck. We paid a premium for a larger room, but didn't feel it was worth the price. There was a lot of activity on the street outside the room, which was far from relaxing. Trucks making deliveries to the restaurant, surfers getting dressed in the street, cars cruising with loud music blasting. This hotel is extremely overpriced for what you get. Will not return.",

It is a few feet from the boardwalk, and close to multiple restaurants, bars, and shopping. The hotel also has a great restaurant of its own! The staff was young, friendly, and helpful. I booked an ADA room because I had an injury which left me hobbled, so I don't know what a "regular" room looks like. But, what I received was spacious, the shower was enormous, and the bed was super comfy. There was also a fridge & microwave in the room. Additionally, I had a sliding door that led straight to the heated pool! Since it is budget, some of the finishings weren't perfect & the AC unit was portable. That didn't really take away from the overall, comfy experience, but bears mentioning. Parking is also a challenge in the area, so best to pay extra for a hotel parking space. Totally recommend this hotel👌",

It’s really about the location and has the old school feel before the windows are locked closed. Adin at front desk went the extra mile to let us hang by the pool till had to fly out at 6pm after we checked out. Super nice!",

      "traverse:reviewText": "My first time staying at this hotel after really wanting to stay at Pacific Beach but never having the opportunity to do so during several past San Diego vacations. This was a wonderful stay and just what I needed to get away. Now keep in mind this is a traditional style beachfront hotel/motel in that the room will in some way face towards the ocean...with entry from an outside corridor. The bonus is that you're right on the boardwalk when you step out of the hotel. Some rooms if not most will catch a glimpse of the ocean and sunset. Just very relaxing in a central Pacific Beach location. First things first, big props to the wonderful staff - in particular, Stephanie and Mercedes at the front desk were a joy to interact with. As I had a standard King room and it was a little bit of an off-peak time, Stephanie was able to accommodate my request for a non-stop floor room. Just really nice people who have a lot of passion for their jobs - and especially ensuring that guest experience is a great one. I travel quite a bit for leisure, and you notice. As far as the room, keep in mind that it is relatively basic because it fronts a beach. Carpeting, furniture, etc. may not look impressive at first glance, but it's because of the functionality. Everything was very clean and well kept, nice amenities with moderate refrigerator and a cooler fan. The bed was extremely comfortable; only possible negatives were varying hot / cold water and noisy housekeeping carts early. That said, this was a very comfortable stay. As far as the area and restaurants, lots of eateries and options nearby. Of course, attached to the hotel is the World Famous seafood restaurant - with great eats and also a very underrated happy hour menu with exceptional food options. There's also a Ralph's / Krogers nearby. And of course, the sunsets literally right before you every night. For those using public transit, this hotel is extremely easy to get to and from. From the airport, the free shuttle to Old Town will connect you with a bus that takes not even 20 minutes. I did a day trip to La Jolla via bus maybe a block away. Lots of options if you want to venture from Pacific Beach. Loved this hotel and will be back in early April again. Had thought about staying at a slightly north nearby hotel, but the great service and experience makes this one of my favorites.",

We always seem to stay at Blue Sea Beach, now called The Wayferer, or at a BNB. We are so happy there was availability this time around though, at Surfer Beach! Lillian at the front desk was extremely helpful and kind! She greeted me with a friendly smile as soon as I walked in and went above and beyond to give me the best stay possible! Even got a room upgrade and early check in!! The beds are super soft and the room was nice and clean, all around! Love the vibe of the whole place!! Cannot wait to book enough in advance next time so we can be sure to score another stay at Surfer Beach, maybe in the Sunset Suite!!",

Same good experience with a couple of post-check-in follow-up things. The room is clean and well laid out, with a partial ocean view (and we can hear the surf). We recommend Surfer Beach Hotel and appreciate Will's service.",

Sound of the waves at night, steps away from the beach and great food options. The room itself was so-so. I'm 5'5" and had to duck under the shower -- worse for my taller companion. The bed wasn't super comfortable and the pillows were very lumpy. Due to corona, one visit by housekeeping during a 5-night stay. The selection of options on the TV was truly terrible. Nor could you stream because the wi-fi was so weak. To the point where when we needed to get some work done, we had to use a phone hotspot to do so. BTW this is technically a motel because the door opens to the outside. Great location, nice people, just be advised of what you will be getting accommodations-wise.",

The restaurant onsite is very solid and the breakfast burrito spot right outside the gate (Woodys I think) is very good, b-burrito wise. Definitely a great spot to explore PB for a few days.

Great central location making it easy access everywhere and right on the beach as well. But, the best thing about the stay at the hotel was the staff. I was greeted by Steph and she was as cheerful, knowledgeable and helpful in person as she was over the phone. She took time to give me suggestions on some local must sees around the hotel, we had an amazing time and appreciated the extra attention the staff provided us on our stay.",

Our room on the 4th floor had an amazing balcony view to the Pacific Ocean with a king size bed that we could have slept in for days without moving. The room also was equipped with a coffee maker and mini refrigerator. However, the actual bathroom and shower are very small, but when you’re on the beach…what more does one need? Most importantly is the staff (Bee and Jehrich) that took our same day reservation and welcomed us upon our arrival. They were very friendly, professional and accommodated our needs with an unusual request, which is a trait that is difficult to find.",

If you are looking for a high priced exclusive luxury motel, this is probably not for you, the amenities are good, the Motel is very clean. and serves our purpose immensely.

Since we arrived at 9a & check-in is a bit later in the day, Lilly went ahead & got me checked in while cleaning arrangements were being made! Although we were super early for check in, Lilly was kind enough to upgrade us with a partial ocean view! So Cool!! After check in…I received a text from a virtual assist of the hotel, named Ivy! Although it was nice to request things…but who’s going to be in the room when we are literally at the beach!! Based upon the customer service from Lilly, our premium view, and prime location…I would definitely give this location 5 stars & highly recommend Surfer Beach Hotel to anyone who wants a beach vibe, this is the place for you!

This place ruined our entire trip, (1st time to California and the last) we stayed one night(we booked 2 rooms/2 couples) slept in top of the covers after I tried to sleep in our rental car. They hotel offered nothing as I stood in front of them sobbing, they still charged us for 2 rooms one night, and they initially tried to charge us over 3,000.00 for 4 nights/5days after I already paid online the day we booked it in February 2022.

We walked in to Surfer Beach and gentleman at the front, helped us find the best room for our needs; he was very polite and professional. We ended up booking the ocean front junior suite. We were placed on the top floor on our first time staying there and were in an awe when we walked in the room and saw the sun and view, it truly made our business trip feel like a vacation. Prices were very reasonable. Amazing staff, room a bit outdated, but we were not looking for something fancy, just somewhere clean. I asked for extra towels and pillows and some ice and were brought to my room lightening quick with a big smile. Thank you Surfer Beach Hotel staff for providing us with a welcoming stay.",

Mr. Corut the GM said I was harassing them after not contacting them for a full 3 weeks waiting for a response to my complaint. I was shocked and appalled that he is now claiming to be a victim!

We decided on a beach side hotel to be away from more urban locations so I reserved a room at this hotel, not knowing what to expect. I work in the hospitality industry and have received hospitality training from brand name hotel chains so I know hospitality. Our interactions with the hotel staff (Mercedes, Stephanie, Ana, Angelica, Carla, and Tim) were at standard with many upscale hotel brands and delivered a unique beach vibe. They were very knowledgeable about their recommendations of local eatery. I was also impressed with their COVID-19 protocol as they implemented policy to actively protect their housekeeping staff. The rooms were clean and the $40 upgrade to an ocean view room was absolutely worth it. I recommend you request room 414 as it has a view on either side of it. The staff continued to deliver excellent service by allowing us a late-check out which allowed a short walk to the bay nearby. We will be back!",

From the moment I arrived, they were incredibly welcoming, professional, and genuinely friendly. They made the entire check-in process smooth, easy, and honestly enjoyable — which is not something you can say about most hotel check-ins. Elijah and Ali went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and that I felt welcomed right away. Their positive attitude and great customer service set the tone for the entire stay. It’s clear they take pride in their work and truly care about guests having a great experience. Great service like this makes a huge difference, and management should know they have two outstanding team members representing the hotel. If you’re considering staying in the area, Surfer Beach Hotel is a great choice, and if you’re lucky enough to be greeted by Elijah and Ali, you’ll start your stay on the right note. Highly recommend!",

My bf and I are in from Scottsdale and this was our first time in PB. I found this hotel as an option that was right on the water and not insanely overpriced, which of course seemed too good to be true. The two gentlemen working last night were very helpful so we were already happy with our hotel choice from the get go. We had a slight issue with our toilet running all night, probably a simple fix with the chain but I did not get the best nights sleep, and the guys working this morning, Raffa and Alex went TRULY above and beyond. Instead of just fixing it, they were extremely apologetic and moved us to a new room so we would not have to deal with maintenance coming in. Something so minor really made our day and solidified our experience here. So appreciative, 10/10 all day. Thank you guys!!!",

      "traverse:reviewText": "One of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. As a native San Diegan who lived in Pacific Beach for 15 years, I urge you to stay anywhere else on the beach. We paid over $400 a night and it felt more like a really bad motel than a relaxing visit back to our home town. Right from the start, our beds were full of sand. When we asked for clean bedding, we were told housekeeping had gone home—for the day—at 2 PM. They eventually dropped off sheets for us to change ourselves. The entire room was filthy: sand all over the floors, the bathroom, and the showers. It clearly hadn’t been cleaned at all. We were on the bottom floor and could hear everything from the room above—people walking, running, dragging furniture around all night long. Zero soundproofing. As if that wasn’t enough, our “balcony” area had no divider, so strangers (including unsupervised children) constantly sat in our chairs just outside our sliding door. It made the stay uncomfortable and robbed us of any privacy. We couldn’t even enjoy the sun or the tiny, overcrowded pool area. And then came the worst part: on Friday morning, the sinks spontaneously burst and spewed foul-smelling, sulfur water all over the floor and our belongings. I ran to the front desk because no one answered the phone. Thankfully, the maintenance man was kind and helped clean up. But when I told the manager how awful the smell was, he literally shrugged and walked away. To top it all off, the rooms look nothing like the photos online. It’s a complete bait-and-switch. When we asked for a room change or even a partial refund for the water damage, we were told no. The front desk guy just shrugged again and asked if we wanted our bill then or at checkout. No apology. No accountability. Do yourself a favor—don’t waste your time or money here. There are much better places to stay in San Diego.",

I can't leave out Elijah. What a cool guy, fun to talk to. And Anna lent me her iPhone charger; who does that?! Needless to say, it was an awesome experience. I will definitely return.

There are restaurants, bars, fast food, bike rentals, surf lessons, and stores within easy walking distance. A full-service grocery store is 2 blocks away and a CVS pharmacy is only 3 blocks. We had a King Jr Suite-king bed, fold-out couch, microwave, apt-size fridge, coffee maker, and small sink in the main room. The bathroom was small, but included a jetted tub! The air conditioner was an individual, in-room unit. We had a view of the pool AND beach from our 4th-floor back balcony-complete with chairs and a small table. And a beautiful view of the Pacific Beach area from the walkway/balcony out front. The pool is heated! There is a shower outside as you come in from the beach, including a hose so you can easily clean only your feet (or shells), with comfortable water temperatures. The staff members were all wonderful, friendly, and helpful. I called to make changes to our reservation and was immediately assisted by a very positive, upbeat staff member. THINGS TO BE AWARE OF: 1) You WILL have to pay $30/day for guaranteed parking or risk competing with the beach traffic for a spot. (We saved $10/day by booking online.) You will find this to be true at the majority of beach hotels. The price of the room was reasonable, so we didn't mind this so much. 2) This is not a 5-star hotel. It is older and a little outdated, BUT CLEAN and comfortable. We will definitely be staying at the Surfer Beach Hotel again. And we would strongly recommend it to others!",

With that said if you’re spending that much time in your room then you’ll find plenty to complain about. We spend 90% of our trip enjoying the beach and surrounding shops and restaurants. It was perfect for us at a price you’d be hard to beat with the beach at your doorstep. If you want a 5 star experience for under $400/night you may want to consider a third world country 😂",

It’s nostalgic if you want to look at it that way or you could say it’s kind of a dive, a cool dive! It was fun, we had a fab time. Room was clean, bed was comfy. Call front desk if you needed anything & they would bring it almost immediately. Quite a wonderful week. Beautiful morning & sunset views. The front desk & all employees were more than pleasant & accommodating! We’ll be back 🏖🐬🌞🌺",

      "traverse:reviewText": "Most of the reviews have it right - the location is the best part of this place. In all fairness it was clean and the bed was very comfortable, but the furniture was a little worn out (worn edges, holes in the lampshade) and the furniture on the balcony had seen better days. The bathroom, however, was the worst I've seen considering how much they charged for the room. It reminded me of a cheap motel. The caulk around the sink and tub was a mess, the shower rod had a peeling barcode sticker still on it, there was a whirlpool tub with disgustingly dirty jets, and it was very small with no place but a tiny glass shelf to put anything. The toilet, sink and tub (except for the jets) WERE clean though. What you are paying for is the location, which was wonderful. It was great being right on the beach within walking distance of so much. Also, I must add that everyone who worked there was very nice and heloful. However, I wouldn't stay here again.",

We really enjoy sitting on the balcony and watching the ocean and watching people go by on the ocean front walk. The restaurant adjacent, World Famous, is really good. So, the hotel is older, not fancy by any means, but it is clean. And the staff is always very friendly and helpful. This stay, we were impressed by Lillian at the front desk. She was obviously busy but took the time to greet us warmly and patiently went through the check in process. On our first day we usually have a few questions and simple requests like more washcloths, coffee, etc and Lillian was very helpful and provided excellent customer service, which added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. I recommend Surfer Beach hotel as a great choice for a stay at Pacific Beach.",

Hair was left in the refrigerator, on the patio furniture, and sink upon arrival. Stains on towels and bedding. A foul smell came from the closet. The bed is probably 25 years old based on how broken down it was. The patio was filthy and had food on it the minute we arrived. It only gets a rating of 2 for the view and proximity to the beach. Otherwise, I would give this place a rating of 1. An ocean view comes with a compromise of smelling bacon and burgers from the restaurant below, so you don't really leave your slider open unless you want all your stuff to smell like greasy food.",

Bed frame and mattress sit on floor, making it difficult to get up and down from bed. there were two beds and an old dresser in the room. a coffee pot but no coffee. no towels. room had mildew and soft walls from water damage. carpet was so dirty you had to wear your shoes all the time or your feet would turn black from dirt. the room next to pool had two flood lights the hotel kept on all night, the light would light up your room unless you closed the window and curtains, this made it impossible to hear the ocean waves at night. from our fourth-floor room you could see the rooftops of the restaurant attached to the hotel. it was unappealing and the exhaust from the frier from the restaurant lingered in the air. Our room smelled of old stall grease. the elevator did not always work making us climbed four flights of stairs with all our gear. Overall, not good value for the price. I would never recommend it to family or friends.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "I don’t often leave reviews but I read them, and i want to set the record straight for all you people who read the reviews and get turned off by them. I had concerns before checking into Surfer Beach Hotel myself… However, once I did I knew without a doubt I had chosen the right hotel and believe me I looked and re-looked and worried due to the silly reviews I had read. Let me just say, a hotel does not remain in business for years without being great, and Surfer Beach is. If you want a 5 star posh indoor hotel experience stay across the street at the Catamaran but if you want to be on the boardwalk facing the ocean, with a pool just below and the ocean waves crashing right outside then Surfer Beach is the place. I arrived with two teens and two pre-teens including myself. We rented a Jr. Suite. I brought a twin size air mattress that allowed me to sleep alone. The room is updated and everything worked. We stayed on the second floor- all rooms somewhat face the ocean. It does not seem so when you enter your room from the outside of the hotel but all the rooms (with exception to the first floor) have a private balcony and overlook the pool and face the ocean. I heard the waves the whole trip. It was peaceful, I only called the front once for more towels and they quickly brought me as many as I requested, and to get another room key which was not an issue. I had wanted to bring my chihuahua but did not due to reviews that made me feel I would be checking into somewhere unsafe but next time - and there will be many more next times, I will bring her. I wish I had, I laid around knowing my children were safe swimming below in the pool within ear shot of me and relaxed for the first time in a few years. Families this is great for kids especially if they enjoy swimming. The pool has toys and floats for the kids to use. The hotel has been updated over its older bones. The hotel has a private door for exiting right onto the boardwalk and entering back to the hotel. I ordered room service and that was great too. Truthfully, It has been so wonderful and we are having trouble leaving, I wish we had stayed longer. If your doubtful please take it from me, the truth is I have no complaints and neither do the kids. It’s worth it. I am from San Diego and we started our summer off right with a staycation. Pacific Beach is very populated and tends to be a party spot but the hotel never gave away to any of that, but if you like to drink you have plenty of options all around! 20 out of 10 for Surfer Beach Hotel.",

You are right behind World Famous restaurant which has been around forever. 100ft off the boardwalk and withing blocks of too many bars restaurants and other stores. The hotel is dated for sure. It is what it is, a OK hotel in a perfect spot so great place to rest your head for the night but definitely not 4 or 5 star. I will say it's priced right for sure. Would we stay here again? Possibly....depends our other choices this close to the beach.",

I walked over to the hotel to see if their Maintanance Man had any tools. Their man, Jehrich R came out like a superhero. He first helped try to get the key with his tools and when we both couldn’t reach it he went an extra step and contacted AAA. He checked up on me and made sure I made it out ok. Just a solid guy.

You know it’s bad if they have to leave you a bottle of ODOBAN! Shame on corporate to not update the rooms to make it livable. I would not stay here for free, let alone for $1700 a night. Shame on them for charging guests what they do to take advantage of the location. Other guests were complaining to us too. So I know it’s not just the sunset suite that was disgusting. There are better options on the beach for the same price. Attaching some pictures from our visit. At least we were able to check out the next day and get a refund for remaining days. We booked another hotel a block away.",

Room was small, dirty and the carpet seemed like it's from someone's back porch. Our AC unit clanked all night. The staff all looked unkempt, when I checked put the guy was chewing his finger nails. This place would be great for a $300 weekend stay not a $1000 weekend stay. Update your hotel or lower your prices.",

I don't care if it's on the beach or not or if it's a old building there's no excuse for how dirty and disgusting the room was. Blood on the bed sheets, Dust all over the room and AC unit and the bathroom had the worst pee odor I have ever smelled. I have stayed across the street at the Blue Sea Hotel and that hotel is Night and Day compared to this place. This is my honest review I would 💯 NOT Recommend The Sufer Beach Hotel to anyone.

The pool was closed s it is necessary for our pandemic. It’s fine to be safe. It is a beautiful pool though. Has a great deep end. For housekeeping you must make an appt but that is great. I usually don’t need it. The sink drains very slow and it is strangely very high. I am 5’4” and had to stand on tip tors. No big. There is a lot of businesses near by. It is one of the main beaches in San Diego. If you like the Southern California busy boardwalk you will love it. I live nearby so prefer our smaller beaches. However Pacific Beach was one I had not taken advantage of. Spectacular!!!",

He even helped me with my bags, which meant a lot. His warmth, knowledge, and kindness were a huge part of what made my stay so comfortable.

Needless to say, I am a frequent traveler who has traveled around the world as an anthropologist. When booking a hotel, decide what is most important to you. With an ocean view close enough to hear the roar of the surf, I slept like a baby. Although a frequent traveler, I once lived in North Park (San Diego) before moving to Canada. When I return, I come for the waves, high tides in the morning, sunsets in the evening. I want a locals experience of San Diego with the hospitality of a small hotel. When staying at the Surfer Beach Hotel, ask for Rafa or Adin or both; they are friendly and welcoming guides to the hotel and surrounding community. Lastly, Grace, my very active Chihuahua/Terrier mix, loved the attention.",

Woody's coffee is attached and a great place to start the morning. Breakfast portions are large so maybe share one. Fancier place called World Famous next door. Not worth the price. You may disagree. Surf school meets steps away and there are many other restaurants and shops nearby. Second visit with plans to return soon. Downside; could use some sprucing up and no free parking. 27.50 daily to park so figure that into your budget. Not a place for people who hang around in their room. No amenities beyond a pool, free wi-fi, and basic cable but everything you want is in walking distance. The amenities are the beach, the ocean, surfing, sunshine, and San Diego.",

This place is On the Beach; many rooms have great ocean views. It's in the middle of Mission Beach and Pacific Beach and is convenient to Sea World and all of Sand Diego. Go in with reasonable expectations for this price point and you will be very satisfied. The place is family and pet friendly. The "not that rowdy" Spring Breakers like it too. As a "Snowbird" from Alaska I spent winter months there for 9 of the last ten years (2014-25), about 26 months total. Most important to me are the nice people, and helpful service in the perfect So Cal Beach location. The descriptions of, not fancy, could use some updates, are true. It is also well maintained, clean, and gives the vibe of a small-town Motor Motel. Lately the room service cleaning has been provided as frequently as requested. Staff response has been very friendly and fast. Discounts may be available for long term and off season stays. There is a charge for the hotel parking lot. Free or cheaper parking is available nearby. Bus and taxi, uber, etc. are readily available. The place was built in 1950 and it is a quintessential Mid-Century Modern Motor Court. I like its style. It's about the last space on the beach that has not been "updated" to the new sameness. Also located in the building is the "World Famous" (that's the name), an upscale 3 meal indoor restaurant and bar located directly on the Ocean Walk. The dining room opens to the beach, service is good. This popular place also has an old school vibe as night out place that serves mimosa brunches, very well rated, burgers, salads, steaks and sea food, with Happy Hours in the bar. The Hotel actually fronts onto Ocean Walk and Pacific Beach and is at the intersection of Mission Boulevard and Pacific Beach Drive. The neighborhood is very walkable and services including full grocery store are located within a few blocks. Dozens of places to eat and shop beach stuff, line the streets. There are many very nice walking /bike paths, playgrounds, parks and beaches. Walking through the little beach house communities along Mission Beach is worth the time. About 1 very walkable mile south on Mission Boulevard there's the beach front Arcade Fair site, "Belmont Park" with kiddie rides a Wooden Roller Coaster and more for grownups. There are many other hotel and rental alternatives in this area. Many are fancier Almost all are more expensive. None have a better beach location. I vouch for the good service I have received at Surfer Beach. I have been very happy with my stays at Surfer Beach.",

Easy access to all we wanted to do. Alex and the rest of the staff were the best staff we’ve ever worked with at a hotel. They were attentive, honest, so kind - everyone was. Pay attention to the parking details on the website. It’s easy to miss. Enjoy your visit!!",

You can really tell they truly care about guests having a great stay. I especially want to give a huge thank you to Anna and Adin! Late at night, I was sooo hungry and trying to figure out where to get tacos. They both went above and beyond to help me find a spot that was still open. They were patient, kind, and genuinely happy to help — which made all the difference after a long day. It might seem like a small thing, but when you’re tired and starving, that kind of service means everything. Their positive attitudes and willingness to help really stood out. Thank you both for turning a late-night struggle into a great memory. I truly appreciated the kindness and exceptional customer service!",

The TV wouldn't work at first, the mini fridge was leaking and the shower could barely fit an average-sized person. No blow dryer or iron in the room, so we had to "borrow" one from the front desk. The door leading to the ONLY ice maker on site was broken, so we had to go around to access it by way of the pool. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS HOTEL.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "This is a very basic older hotel built in the 1960’s. What makes it special is the staff and the beachfront location right off the Pacific Beach boardwalk. It shares a corner with the World Famous restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, so it’s simple to grab a meal. It’s inexpensive for the location and they are dog friendly. Looks like they are renovating the rooms with new vinyl flooring, fresh paint and new bathroom vanity. Showers are still older tile. While it has a hotel size fridge, no microwave unless you book a king suite. There is a microwave in the lobby along with a free coffee/espresso machine. Pool area is nice and pool was very clean with a good supply of beach towels. The weather was beautiful but still too cold for the pool - kids seemed to enjoy it! Parking is pricey, but there is an outside chance that you can score free parking in the lot right in front of the hotel We stayed 3 nights - parked the car and never drove the entire time. boardwalk and area close to the hotel has lots of restaurants and shops. If you aren’t looking for a luxe experience and just want to be close to the beach this could be a great choice.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "Let me start by saying the staff is great and we give the 5 stars and at least the bed we were in was extremely comfortable. That being said this hotel needs a major overhaul. The furniture looks like they got it at second hand stores, although most likely it is just the same from 30 years ago. Floorboard tiles that were broken, stucco on the balcony falling off, paint mismatched and screen doors that keep falling off its track. A good amount of lights don’t work, the bathroom fan does not work, electrical outlets so worn they charging cables barely stay on. If it was my place I would give it a good facelift and raise the price a little, of which we would be happy to pay if the rooms were nicer. And if you like good water flow in the shower, this will not be the place for you. Again, the staff is warm and hospitable and if we come back it will be because of them.",

We arrived early after a long road trip with our 2-year-old and were hoping for an early check-in. Adin was incredibly kind and accommodating, letting us check in a bit early—saving us from a major toddler meltdown. He even called our room later to make sure we were doing okay, which was such a thoughtful touch. The hotel has an amazing view, and the restaurant below us was fantastic—great food and a perfect spot to relax. The only downside was that the rooms felt a bit outdated and weren’t as clean as we had hoped. But with the level of care and hospitality we received, we let it slide and still had a great time.",

Originally I booked for only one evening as we had tickets for the 2023 SAG Screen Actors Guild Awards for Sunday evening. I just couldn’t leave our room as we were just so relaxed! So we extended our stay through Monday. This morning we checked out late. We apologized to the Front Desk Manager who said that it wasn’t a problem. Staff is just so over and above in kindness. We constantly feel Welcomed. We highly recommend weekend getaways to couples that just want to enjoy coziness and tranquility.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "The location of the hotel and view from the room are the highlights of this place. It’s definitely a motel though, not a hotel. The carpets are kind of older and dirty feeling, and the furniture is really worn out. Our room had an absolutely amazing view of the ocean. It looks like all rooms do. And the hotel is steps away from the path along the beach and town, which was perfect. The price was reasonable for such a great location. The customer service was excellent. I had a hard time deciding what to rate the hotel honestly. If you don’t mind a motel, then it’s not bad, and all the other factors might outweigh the room. I think maybe I’m being a hotel snob! Because I usually like to stay at midrange hotels like Marriott, Kimpton, Autograph or similar that have a nice visual aesthetic throughout. So I just didn’t find the look and feel of this motel very appealing. FYI-parking is cheaper if you book through the hotel site directly.",

The front staff, cleaning and maintenance people, free coffee, are very good to excellent and deserve more stars. Unfortunately, they are stuck on a deteriorating ship. The room(s) are in need of updating considering the price. While the furniture and bed was comfortable, the pull out's mattress was poor, and the bathroom needs updating.The is very little surface area (small table?) and felt like no where to sit. The hotel has a pool. Granted you are on the pacific but this was a dead zone the entire time we stayed and whenever I passed. Whereas the neighboring hotel has a fireplace, comfortable non-plastic seating FACING the ocean, guest using it - and just displays more pride in ownership. The elevator is old, small and slow. If you are able, you will be taking the stairs. I feel like this place needs more lobby space. I wonder if they would consider backing out into the pool dead zone? I felt like this place can't afford financing for a total remodel and is living on a memory of better days as a motor motel. Nice people in a place peeling and falling apart.",

I am a native was born in Long Beach, Calif. $30 ride from the airport. Once checked in, most everything in the role your heart desires is within walking distance. And for those who are money conscious this is the best value. Definitely a place to say if you want to ground and reconnect. Staff was amazing. Hats off to Stephanie, Tim the night guy / maintenance man! They even have their own laundry with the key card for privacy and security 💚🙏🐉",

The staff was great very helpful and gladly helped us with all our needs. They have a parking lot that you pay to use. The $37 parking pass in the hotel parking lot was a little pricey but it sure was nice being able to come and go and always have a parking spot. There was never any free street parking available. It was a great stay we will stay there again when ever we visit San Diego.",

We stay about 4 times a year sometimes it’s just my husband and myself and sometimes we bring our family with multiple rooms. No matter who we go with it’s always a wonderful experience. The staff is amazing and you can’t beat the location and views from each room. We often stay in the 2 bedroom apartment with its huge private balcony, full kitchen and living room. Each time we check out we always look ahead to the next trip there! Irene H.",

Stayed here for two nights when moving my daughter into San Diego State and accidentally booked a king bed. Not only did they fix the situation but they gave us a room with an ocean view balcony which was amazing. Yes the rooms are dated and the shower is small, but when you are this close to the ocean what more do you need than a clean room with a super comfy bed, and I’m picky about my beds. Plus you can’t beat going to sleep with the sound of the ocean waves rolling in and great access to PB beach. So many things within walking distance and things really quite down at night during the week. I imagine the weekend is a little different. It’s a very touristy spot with great restaurants, coffee shops and bars. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a no frills hotel in a great location with excellent customer service.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "We chose the hotel based on its central location and the activities we had planned in Old Town, Balboa Park, Little Italy and Mission Bay. Upon arrival, the very efficient lady at the desk said she had upgraded us to a Junior Suite. I would never have thought to ask “does it have central air conditioning and a balcony” since it was presented as an upgrade and the website says every room has a balcony, ocean view or pool access. We walk into the room which smells like mold, no a/c but a fan and semi-movable a/c unit. We could open windows but not at night since the windows were eye-level with the walkway to other rooms. We were so busy with activities that we didn’t have time to bother with switching rooms or switching hotels. On the plus side: firm mattress, ice cold fridge, walk out to the Pacific Beach boardwalk and restaurants. On the minus side: no central air, smelly room furnished with hand-me-downs from Goodwill, view of parking lot where trash pickup at 7:45am was our alarm, and all at a hefty price tag close to $300 a night. Had we been with our kids or if I was a female solo traveler, I would not have felt safe staying here due to the windows at eye level and the area in general, with the smell of pot and pee all over the immediate beach access area. I grew up nearby and this area has changed a lot. If budget motel on the beach is your vibe, this could be it. Pay a little more and you could stay at The Catamaran or one of the other resorts in the area.",

You cannot beat the access you get to the beach as it is basically right outside the door. Parking was easy, accommodations were clean and they also provide beach and pool toys for the kids. We had an issue with the power in our room which was handled right away. We will be choosing this hotel from now on when we stay in Pacific Beach.

Sure, there is no A/C in the room only a fan. So? Open the slider and let the ocean air in. Becky and I love staycations at the beach and we always look to the Surfer first. 20-25 minutes from home and parking is $10 per night which by hotel standards is a complete bargain. Our room included in-room coffee and a fridge. Love the fridge! Bed was comfy and bathroom was clean. The attached World Famous restaurant is great. The pool is great. The beach and boardwalk are literally steps away. The hotel is within walking distance of so many great bars and restaurants. The staff is some of the friendliest around. What you may give up in fancy room accommodations and amenities you gain in location. We love the Surfer and we will always come back to the Surfer. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/-dag-6U6vNUdqHhsHKex6Q/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/4EHlsjE4bJF_ViVcBSEUYg/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Comfy. - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/63gdcp6RR6X6CwhlH2r6zg/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Yes please. - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Ig1giCfnrxZWx5C1mfZLlg/348s.jpg) [See all photos from Pete T. for Surfer Beach Hotel](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?userid=W3V3NmdHc2F_Vjaks71cfA) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Russ C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/oFKbdaFvp77frg6mnkfooQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=5wXd3AhCOaJPVtEGbbBu0Q)",

This place is a solid 2.5 stars. It's expensive for what you get. It is an old building and looks dated. The rooms were last updated quite a few years back I'd say. Best thing going for this hotel is location which is really great, worst thing is no air-conditioning which may not be a problem depending on what time of year you stay here, they provided box fans in the room but they are loud...our room was hot when we arrived as it had been closed up all day. When it's warmer you'll have to leave the balcony door open and the fan running...they provide earplugs for sleeping if the ocean noise bothers you, we didn't need them. The room was clean when we arrived and cleaned promptly each morning, the sheets were changed, bed was comfortable. Towels were clean but poor quality. Furniture is not particularly nice or in great condition, carpet was clean but stained. Elevator is small, slow and had a bad odor. Office staff was friendly the couple of times I interacted with them. We had an ocean view room on the 4th floor which is a great view of the ocean, unfortunately you get a great view of their roof as well which is kind of an eyesore. Parking lot is small and spaces are small plus it's $15 extra per night. Overall the hotel is not horrible but it's not fantastic either, depends on what you're looking for and the experience you want in San Diego. We waited to long to make reservations at preferred competing properties nearby and this is the only place we could get in so close to the beach. Given the same circumstances I'd probably stay here again but it wouldn't be my first choice. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Alison M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=M0jeEEpOS7MW-RtaaIQm7w)",

Beginning with staff, some were polite and helpful, particularly the fellow that checked us in. But, others were incredibly dismissive and rude. The bad attitudes blew me away. Next, the room(s). Short story, we evacuated our 1st room after a termite infestation appeared out of nowhere in the bathroom. Back story, we stayed in a smaller room one night awaiting an "upgrade" the next day. The following morning we took a look at the "upgrade". It was just as crummy, so we decided it was more trouble than it was worth to move. When I return from the front desk to tell staff we would stay in the small crummy room, I discovered termites crawling everywhere in the bathroom, up the walls, across the floor, in the tub, etc. And, flying everywhere! Wow! At least staff was honest and admitted that the place has a termite problem - no kidding. Suffice it to say, we moved to our "upgrade" room to escape the bugs. Thankfully, the termites did not appear in the "upgrade" room. They did, however, continually appear crawling all over my clothes while at the beach. That's how little time it took for them buggers to get all over our stuff before we got out of the 1st room. As for the 2nd room - you guessed it - just as gross as the 1st. The rooms are just filthy and smell. If you want my impressions of every other negative detail, just read the rest of the 1 star reviews - spot on. BTW, we've stayed at a lot of hotels in San Diego and along the CA coast, good and bad. Frankly, this place needs to be demolished. And, I definitely know crap, having stayed in my fair share of crack motels while in the military and college. Condemn this joint! The only thing positive I can say is that I paid for our week long stay with points earned on my credit card. And, I'm even irritated I used those hard earned points for this place.

My sister turned 50, lives in Oregon and wanted to be on the beach in San Diego Front dean was very friendly Yes it's right on the beach however, with the money the charge, you can tell it is NOT going back into the hotel. Very run down, inside and out. Beyond run down for 275. A night. Had to laugh at the sign that they can charge up to $999 a night!!! Granite, we pretty much only slept in the hotel, sure but here is the kicker .... $25.00 a night for parking. Unless you are driving a little toaster or motorcycle, , good luck not getting hitting dinged up paint in a VERY tiny parking spot meant for little minis Drove our 2020 convertible E450 Mercedes down to only find out that there was no way in HELL you can comfortably get out of the vehicle let alone park without getting dinged up. If you don't care about your car, guess it doesn't matter. Apparently the hotel doesn't care Unless you stay in the $1000.00 a night sunset room with a separate parking spot far away from other , GOOD luck! We didn't see that room but from the outside view, pretty sure it wasn't worth the money My suggestion, next door at Ocean View. From looks of it, looked better but for the money we spent for 3 nights $736.00 for a very small run down hotel room, you can also rent a con down south of the hotel right on the water ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Right in front of hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/YxGZnQa0BakSbAaG0y5_Yw/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - My sister on beach in front of hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/nXAFHuYfqXhEY0DvFA2RIQ/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Pier south of hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/N-y2gtg6mqwz6j6t4FdTVw/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Strangely suggest bike ride 15.00 each per day 8-10hours total worth it - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Rej9LyFFvvbvZOUfOgNGng/348s.jpg) [See all photos from Melanie D. for Surfer Beach Hotel](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?userid=lv_AlNt04m_tTPB_5gNcyg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Desiree V.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/QWN-bznieJJBJkyRofW8Gw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=FBCz87D3sw8HHHpnzm0TUw)",

We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations and that the condition of the property led you to seek accommodations elsewhere. We are currently undergoing renovations, and while these improvements are intended to enhance the guest experience long term, we understand that construction can be disruptive and unappealing in the short term. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by exposed wiring or cleanliness concerns in the room you were shown. That said, we’re glad to hear that our staff treated you with professionalism and courtesy. Guest service is very important to us, and your kind words will be shared with the team. Please know that your comments have been shared with our management and housekeeping teams for immediate review. We’re committed to making necessary improvements and hope that, once renovations are complete, you might consider giving us another opportunity.

It's right near a lot of shops and food. Right on the beach. Cons: It's cheap because it doesn't have A/C. If u can't live like that, don't come here. Shower head is positioned 5ft from floor(I'm 6'2"). Parking costs extra($10). Wifi only works near the lobby not in the rooms. The pool is tiny and closes at 9. I rated 3/5 because the lack of AC.

Firstly - there's no AC in the rooms they only provide you with a plug in fan that has not ever been cleaned. The carpet looked like it had never been cleaned either. The hotel is located on the beach so the place gets rowdy at night. We were suppose to stay for 3 nights and checked out after the first night. The front desk staff was nice and friendly but the place should be classified as a motel not a hotel. Reno's defiantly need to be done because the hotel is in a great location. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Chad L.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=aSX6TA7AGP0dwT8f5JKR8g)",

It was our first trip to San Diego and we booked this hotel because it was right on Pacific Beach and close to everything. The rooms are not luxurious, but you have everything you need: microwave, small fridge, free wifi and everything is very clean. The front desk lady Laura was very nice and helped us figure out our way around and all her recommendations were on the spot. She took care of all of our request and even got us discounts at the restaurant next door. Surfer Beach hotel will be my go to hotel whenever I go to San Diego. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Meredith J.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/ECWrCU5iyiovGsr1SgJGzg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=KykgC1jpHzg-4oz6M2S_UQ)",

I arrived at the hotel and it was steps from the beach- score. I parked in the lot and went to check in- the guy comped my parking (other score) and gave me some coupons for restaurants in the area. Very friendly. The room was average sized and overlooked the pool and the ocean; the hotel offers earplugs in the room if you're not into hearing the waves all night (I totally was). The room was a little damp feeling, but that's to be expected when you're right on the water. BUT they leave you prepared with a box fan in the closet- big plus when i needed to dry my clothes after swimming. Location is great, all the staff I chatted with were awesome, and I would definitely come back and stay again in a heartbeat. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=190) [17](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=160) [18](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=170) [19](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=180) [20](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=190) [22](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=210) [23](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=220) [24](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=230) [25](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=240) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=210) [7 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/c-BO9gdumIlkr37EXEuHWw) ### People found Surfer Beach Hotel by searching for… -

And with the expensive price we won't be staying here again. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Tianna M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/z1dYFGxt-Snq7MNz7IxoEw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=5in9EJha9dDSINvRO0QOJg)",

The man that walks aound, I think his name was Rick, is so happy and friendly. Every morning he has a great big smile and says hello. We stayed on the 3rd floor and had a partial view of the ocean. The bed was really comfortable too. The walls are very thin so we ran the air unit to drown out the noise. Didn't help much at 4am with our frisky neighbors :( but that wasn't the hotels fault. The place is right on the beach and they have some little chairs and boogie boards to borrow. They also have a rinse off spot which is nice when you are covered in sand. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be back. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Edward P.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/0u5K0M_rjISUgSCfm8Xoxg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7kY9cQx3HKZTT1AWtHCrAQ)",

Umm yeah, it's that scary and gross. The hotel is so run down and old.

I made an honest mistake on their website for 10% discount. Their normal cancellation policy is 72 hours in advance. That is the one I read. I honestly thought advanced booking at 10% off meant because I was booking so for in advance. Sounds right huh? Anyway when I printed the receipt it said no cancellations or refunds on this booking. Had I clearly known, I would have booked at the regular rate. I called the hotel as soon as I became aware of the mistake . I was very honest with them telling them my situation, and asked them to please reverse the charge of 433.00 on my card. They had no compassion, did not care that it was an honest mistake. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME IT WAS MY LOSS. It really was an honest mistake. My suggestion to you all would be book somewhere else. They do not care about their customers, they only care about the money. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=270) [22](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=210) [23](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=220) [24](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=230) [25](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=240) [26](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=250) [27](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=260) [28](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=270) [30](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=290) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=290) [7 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/c-BO9gdumIlkr37EXEuHWw) ### People found Surfer Beach Hotel by searching for… -

If you stay in your room for most of your vacation then the upside is the rooms are updated with a modern look and they are very clean. There's a wet bar and a mini-fridge (great for beers- there still might be some left over from our room). Two Flat Panel widescreen TVs! We had a very comfy King sized bed with comfy pillows and comforter to match. We also felt really safe and secure. Slept with the windows open and fell asleep to the sound of the ocean. The only downside: There's a little musty smell to the rooms as there is no HVAC system but seriously, who stays in their room on vacation (besides to sleep). We loved the location, right on the beach!! Great access to everything so just park in their parking lot ($8 a day) and GO! It has a nice big patio near the swimming pool where you can chill and drink with your friends, after hours. This Hotel is very family friendly as I saw many young families chillin and hanging out and I also saw older senior people hanging out. If you just want a room where you can just take a few steps and your on the beach, then this Hotel is definitely the place to stay. We will be staying there again next year! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Wendy C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=fC0jhMlH7SSMSSgzYT2UNA)",

Without the employees this establishment would certainly get one star or no stars. \- The rates charged support a huge improvement in the physical structure. Stating the obvious, it is old and poorly maintained, unclean, a place where you want to always have shoes on or something something protecting your feet. \- Before you touch anything in the room a guest will want to have plenty of clean cleaning towels, scrubbing brush, head lamp, and a can of Comet with bleach. If you spent an hour scrubbing and cleaning, covered the carpet with plastic sheeting, you will begin to enjoy the view that is obstructed by a 25 yard restaurant roof and grill exhaust fan (grilled or broiled meat is on the menu along with deep fried foods). Perhaps this is why the booking agent was careful not to say 'beachfront' and instead 'full beach view' as most units are not on the beach front. \- The location affords one the opportunity to park in the three day free public parking and walk to local restaurants and attractions. At this part of the San Diego breach diaspora there is a dearth of branded hotels. In lieu of this are hotels that look similar to the Surfer Beach Hotel. It would behoove the owners to form a partnership, bulldoze their hotels, gather their capital and rebuild with the idea of building three or more modern branded hotels at the three, four, and perhaps a five star hotel. Until one of these tired hotels had some type of catastrophic failure bringing into doubt the safety of all we will have wait while the owners of these outdated properties take advantage of their unnatural position. This is the position of too much demand for hotels on the beach and limited supply that is guaranteed by the California political system. Please be prepared for the wait and stop at Costco for cleaning supplies before you check in. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Lonely and cold Surfers on late October! - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/CcBguE0SOrT_EIU_76igAw/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Surf from Room - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/48q43IrL2SZOlqL5OPDpIQ/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Surfers on a Saturday - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/ylgrzHdLIx-dPSNFfgugDg/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Obstructed View. - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/u9-fHgKGXMNyeuVRN_Oohg/348s.jpg) [See all photos from Steven E. for Surfer Beach Hotel](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?userid=uaPqi1AFkzE8Vkl09XJ-Dw) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Yani Y.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/epl8jideTVCdRST0v7WSzg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=1YJIGpkBPu1bzeIEpycBnA)",

We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed one of our newly renovated rooms—it's great to know the updates, especially the new flooring, made a positive impact on your stay.

The hotel is right on the beach which was super convenient. They even had boogie boards and chairs for us to borrow for the beach! Beds and sheets were really comfortable!

We had a room with a balcony which had an ocean view, and we slept with the window open. The bed felt like a cloud and we slept listening to the waves. We heard low voices from the other guests, but they were respectful of those of us who were sleeping. The staff was wonderful. World Famous restaurant is next door and their food is amazing. For breakfast, be sure to try the crab cake florentine. It's not the Ritz, but it's not Motel 6 either. It's a nice place to stay on the beach.

We have layers of security to protect guests' credit card information, undergo frequent PCI compliance audits and train our thoroughly on the safeguards to protect our guests' information. This guest was charged as a no-show for one night, after not arriving for a four day reservation. When she called to ask why the charges were on her card, she was informed that we had received a reservation in her name with her personal and credit card details through a third-party site (Expedia). When she did not show up to check-in she was charged and checked out as a no-show. We have cooperated with the guest and the credit card company because as she states, she did not make the reservation. However, the reservation that came to us was valid As to who made it with her information, the credit card company and the guest will need to investigate. I am very sympathetic to the guest for this situation and hope her credit card company can resolve who had access to her details prior to making a reservation. - [![Photo of Béatrice B.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=4F7QnPDzHQd8I9zzPBtGDQ)",

We had lawn chairs and enjoyed sitting on the beach watching the sunset. Parking is very pricey thru the hotel and if you happen to find free parking just to the south of check in as we did we were able to refrain from needing the hotel parking. the bed was very comfy, not as many amenities as some hotels but there is an awesome coffee/walk up restaurant right on the beach walk just out our door and we ate at the attached restaurant "World Famous" and it was delicious .

They ultimately didn't overcharge, but they did offer to comp us over the phone, an offer they did not make good on. The service was horrible and even offensive- when we checked in (night of the wedding), Tim at the front desk was on the phone with an angry customer, and hung up said to us loudly about the customer: "I wish I was back in Afghanistan where we had an excuse to kill people like that". Overall I've never had a worse hotel experience and strongly suggest you stay away.

She offered an upgrade option that we could not refuse :) Thanks to blessed timing, and the caring staff at the Surfer Beach Hotel; our family is living it up in the Sunset Suite this weekend! 2 bedrooms, boardroom, full kitchen, huge family room and 3 dining areas; 2 are on the rooftop patio right above the boardwalk!

Basically non usable. Pool was not heated as advertised. Water was freezing cold so did not go swimming as wanted. No safe to store valuables. So had to lock up valuables in luggage. No drawers for clothes except the tiny desk drawer where the bible was stored. TV was set to squished resolution instead of full 1080P HD and could not adjust it in the settings. No blow dryer provided or Iron and iron table to iron shirts. No bottled water available in the vending machine, only soda. AC was super loud so would wake you up constantly when sleeping. The only positive is the it is on the boardwalk and centrally located in Pacific Beach. So if you can tolerate these lack of essential amenities then go ahead and book but I personally would not recommend. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Gilby L.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/f0HPulvAX8Bk1QWJd_uxig/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=-PvjRdWAlVfDKhxjqXOjaQ)",

This hotel is cozy and oozes relaxation with its beachside setting. Obviously, the building is on the older side and the plaster is chipping in a few locations, but these characters give the hotel it's beachy small town feel. The hotel is clean, safe and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The sound of the surf floods the area and a salty breeze fills the walkways. Do your research, if you are looking for an upscale hotel with ample amenities Pacific Beach is probably not the place for you, but if you are looking for a good deal and a fun, cozy place by the beach there are few places better than Surfer Beach Hotel. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Michelle P.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=I3z1CIx-ZT-SZ3PNLnYjtg)",

My husband, brother and I arrived on a Friday evening. When we got to the Surfer Beach Hotel the two men working in the lobby seemed to be less than interested in making sure the guests were well accomodated and more interested in what they were going to do when they got off. Case in point: asked if there was a way to get an oceanview room. The answer? "We can't upgrade you because we don't know what you paid, because you used a third-party to book the room". Um-ok a simple "We have none available" would have sufficed. Not to mention, I wouldn't even know about your hotel unless there was third-party marketing that YOUR corporate office pays money for. I shook that off, got our keys and walked to our hotel room. Rooms weren't bad but there was something missing-I booked a double standard room and there was only one bed. No problem-this happens. I walk back to the lobby where the goofball brothers are so involved in a story about a basketball game they 'didn't see me there'. I explained to them that the room was not the one I booked and got the a familiar answer "Not sure what we can do, you booked through a third party, if you would have booked directly through the hotel we might be able to do something". I was frustrated but attempted to compromise by asking for a room the same size but with an oceanview-again with the third-party response. UGH! So one of the guys suggests that he opens up the room adjacent to the room we were staying in, even though it was under construction. Works for me! Didn't work out so well for my brother who, at 6:30am, was nudged awake by a hotel worker who wanted to know how he got in the room. WTH?! Needless to say, I will not be staying here again. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Mike D.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=6tyu8s16KZK5f86Ta_Tdiw)",

Very old and needs updating, Smoke detetor in the room is from the 60's and we are not even sure it was working. Thinnest of walls. You hear every step and noise from other rooms and outside.

The only thing I can say I didn't mind too much was the small showers. I am 6'1 and it made me a little Closter phobic, but it wasn't too bad. We knew that we were staying in an older hotel so we didn't mind the vintage vibe to the room.We actually prefer it and recognize that is what you get when you want to stay right on the beach. The hotel staff was kind enough to keep our bags behind their desk after we checked out (our flight wasn't for another 4-5 hours), the maid staff didn't pest or knock on the door early in the morning which was nice.

We stayed at this hotel because of the location. But boy, do they take advantage of that! When we checked it, the lady at the front acted like we were bothering her. She told us that the room that we booked (king size w/pool view) wasn't available, so she "upgraded" us into a Junior Suite. Yeah! Right! The room was horrible, it had the view of the dumpster, no balcony, barely any sunlight. It looked like no one had been in it for months. We came back to the desk to see if we could switch room. (Different lady was working), All of a sudden, a room that we booked was available. It was a corner room, super small near the pool, no windows just the sliding doors to the pool. (Compare to other rooms with large windows) but whatever, we took it. Then there's a parking, the same lady (@check in) told us, we had to pay for parking. WHAT????? I said, but it's the hotel parking lot, she said yeah, $15 a day to park here. No explanations, no apologies! The lady at our check in may have had a bad day, but she shouldn't take it out on the guests. The rooms , or at least the ones we had seen, need some remodeling & cleaning.

We picked this hotel because of the "beautiful ocean view," which we paid extra for. We got the "Ocean view Jr. suite," which was $230, to be exact. The website makes the hotel look very nice and clean, but after being there in person I can see the pictures shown were clearly photoshopped, ESPECIALLY the pool! Most of the pictures look like they are from another hotel altogether. We were expecting this place to be somewhat nice considering the price, but we were sadly misled. They also failed to ever mention that parking is an extra $12. The elevator and hallways are all outside, which was pretty motel-esque, but no big deal. The room was small but ok. The balcony was TINY! and I'll upload a picture to show the "view" which was mostly obstructed by the other half of the building and the gross rooftop of another part of the hotel. The little counter with a fridge was cute and had nice lighting, but the coffee set was not stocked with any coffee.. I suppose we are supposed to bring our own? The lighting in the bathroom was terrible. I had to leave the door open to take a shower. Overall, the only thing I liked about this hotel was the fact that it was in Pacific beach. If I was going to stay in Pacific beach again, I'd either pay a little extra to stay in a real hotel, or I'd stay in a motel and pay a fraction of the cost for the same thing. Also, the staff was very rude, probably because they know they're scamming everyone that stays there. I will never come here again (obviously). ![Surfer Beach Hotel - "ocean view" - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/MocM6EINb1YVzY4Cfs5BrA/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Windy M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/KiNeyAeRQ3x8UAKtO22gvw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=herux6jfWIK_GeescToS_g)",

The rooms are basic but they are clean, have a patio and the bed is comfortable. The view from the patio cannot be beat, every room faces the pool and has a view of the ocean. There is a restaurant here as well so you might be woken up with the smells of tasty food. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - View from our patio on the 3rd floor - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/71u-SZwgVLqMdENgIyRMOg/348s.jpg) View from our patio on the 3rd floor ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Yennie S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/NclWGiOsqEI2Hk59kv1FVg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=WVDlU0CMVt4RCuHe0xx4Pw)",

Groupon had a slight confusion and the hotel was not aware of the reservation upon check in. The staff was extremely helpful and fulfilled my reservation despite groupons delay. I tried to contact groupon regarding the situation and couldn't talk to anyone.... The hotel staff got things taken care of and for that I am thankful! Clean room, friendly and over the top staff and great location should leave you with no questions about this place.

Right on the beach with a restaurant attached and another great bfast spot ten feet away plus you're right on the boardwalk on Pacific beach. Nice view of the beach if you upgrade but you are looking at the top of their old building as well and it does have a balcony. It was a older somewhat dirtyish room but I liked it had a fridge and room service. Parking is $30 a day which I thought was a lot.

I'm a very picky person when it comes to living and food. It's either a 4 star or a 5 star because I never trusted hotels below that level. However, I made a few changes and this was the hotel I stayed in when I went to San Diego. It's not a 4 or 5 star hotel but I like it the way it is and I've already been there a couple of times. They keep the rooms clean and the staff is very friendly. The best part about the hotel is that it's located right next to the beach! And if you ever get tired of walking on the beach...which I doubt you will...you can take a stroll around neat restaurants and coffee places around the area. I'm hoping to go back again soon.

It looked nicer in photos but in reality had a motel vibe more than a hotel vibe. All of the hotels down there are along the water and look more like a motel. We had one queen bed and a pull out couch. The couch was not very comfortable and you couldn't pass by it on the way to the bathroom. The cleaning lady barely cleaned the room during the day. The staff was very nice and the location was great. I would only stay here for the location. It is along the beach and very close to all the main spots.

Alas, a total disapointment, and aboslutely not worth the price. The location is great, on the boardwalk, and close to cafes and restaurant, but the room are extremely small, the beds were extremely uncomfortable (they are using some old waterbeds frame), and the bathroom was a shower only and very very dirty. the fridge in the room is extremely noisy, and the staff was not helpful. here is an example quote from someone who was checking out right before us (heard it) "customer: we opened the microwave and it was covered with old melted cheese" "the light bulbs in the bathroom were all burnt out" "hotel staff: right dude, we'll get to it." .. there are much better choices in the area, with at least a decent staff if you want to be on the boardwalk... ![Surfer Beach Hotel - surfer beach hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/ESkKu3aW9UMvVn1m5pAmcg/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Patrick M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/McU2B2Iz_jHZSxjVMIaPfA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Idj38OomMgZBUEUAl8nuMg)",

Pacific Beach is your typical boardwalk on the beach and staying here at this hotel made it much more enjoyable. My GF and I came here the weekend after my 21st. Our view was spectacular! The hotel is right on the beach, and is even connected to the boardwalk. All you have to do is go to the pool and it has a door entrance to the boardwalk. Surfer beach hotel is right next to great restaurants, bars, food shacks, etc. My GF and I would pre-game drink in the hotel then we would go out to dinner for a drink and bite to eat. When it got late we relaxed and took a walk along the boardwalk. There's lots of nice houses to look at and check out along the boardwalk, not to mention there's bbqs and parties going on at the houses. This area I can say is probably more for the younger generation, which was perfect! People walking around, drinking, chillin! Surfer Beach Hotel definitely looks a little run down from the outside but the rooms are nice! It was just my GF and I so the room was smaller but perfect for the both of us. Marble counter tops, refrigerator, awesome balcony view, large very comfortable bed, nice big flat screen tv mounted on the wall with movie channels, and the bathrooms were even nice! Definitely the hotel we will always stay at in San Diego! When we checked out, the hotel comped us on the parking because they never entered it in the computer, so that saved me $36. The room rates are decently priced for being right on the beach! Recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a nice little beach getaway in SD. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Maria S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/uIRqCu6_Rf2ff9JLl6EqRg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=lRspOUPty-mK__p97B29gw)",

The room is nice and has such a good view of the ocean. I have to give a shout out to Mercedes who works at the front desk, she is friendly, happy and very informative, she even called a little after we checked in to make sure everything was great with our room, as well as gave us information on what places were open. Now that I've actually stayed a few nights I have to take a star away. I'm still give 5 stars for service but the facilities could definitely use some fixing up and I was a little upset to find out that parking is an additional $25/day and the pool is closed. I understand why the pool is closed due to Covid but why not thank us for staying and helping keep the hotel open by waving parking. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/0RNhLdbmgq3K1hdPLPbvRQ/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Great little patio area to relax and watch the waves - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/tHDZeb-Waso95lhCsWtZTQ/348s.jpg) Great little patio area to relax and watch the waves ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Umit C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/nGKl1WkwtFvnvI4NQoZ9Vw/30s.jpg) Thank you for taking time to place your feedback. We are happy to hear that you are happy with service has been provided to you during your stay. We are sorry that you are not happy with pool being closed. Unfortunately this decision has been taken by city officials and we have no control over it. We are following orders has been placed by San Diego City officials. In our hotel parking charge is $25 dollars per day for 1 vehicle per room due to limited land size by the beach.Between surrounding hotels we are being still one of the most reasonable daily parking fee as well as room rate. Surrounding hotels parking fees start anywhere from $27 to $40 dollars. Those hotels also charge resort or wireless internet fees. We are providing complimentary wi-fi and there is no other additional fee or charges in our facility. We do explain this charge in our web-site as well as check in process. Those who choose to park 1 block east of hotel might be able to find free public street parking. Mercedes is our front desk supervisor and she always provides outstanding customer service. We are very happy to hear that she was able to impress you as well. In Surfer Beach Hotel we did continue work difficult times, never closed down.We adjust and stricken our cleaning process on even higher level in order to provide clean, safe and secure place to stay for our guest. We had/have doctors, nurses, military members, first responders, truck drivers, delivery drivers, those who needed to relocate, those who needed shelter. They all found clean, safe place in Surfer. Each of our employee work even harder to meet our higher cleaning, safe and secure standards while placing their worries behind. Our families, our worries forgotten when we are at Surfer and we do our best to provide great service. We really hope that you would keep 5 star review but if you decided otherwise we respect your feedback. Thank you for your feedback. Thank you for your business.

I travel to San Diego on a semi-frequent basis and I find my trips most enjoyable when I stay here. Perks: The location is surrounded by good food choices (including the famous Tacos El Gordo within walking distance), rooms are cozy, and the hotel is right on the beach. The staff are accommodating and easy to work with- You can tell they are familiar with their craft by the quick and simple check-in/check-out process while naturally making you feel very welcomed.

For that, I give this place 4 stars. But if it were based off the people working there, this place is 5-star all the way. The manager worked with me to get me into the suite which had not been booked when I checked in. They allowed me to park a second vehicle there for half the price. (Keep in mind, this is the offseason so the situation is probably not normal). You can text them to get towels, soap, an iron, etc. Everyone knew me by name when I hadn't even interacted with all of them. Maintenance delivered me an iron and it was just as good as one you'd have at home. By the way, the Sunset Suite is freaking huge. It's gotta be pushing 2,000 square feet. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Balcony view from the Sunset Suite - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/gMTUaeV6oHUsQHeAuxBy7A/348s.jpg) Balcony view from the Sunset Suite ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Balcony view from the Sunset Suite   (No photoshop) - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/vsTq9ngcrzhXzEiByB6KpA/348s.jpg) Balcony view from the Sunset Suite (No photoshop) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Betty E.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=aMjmAATAt_w3fCgd60dRfQ)",

The customer service here is amazing. Laura, one of the front desk ladies, went the extra mile to ensure that our stay was satisfactory. The location, which is on the beach, is also walking distance to the boardwalk, grocery store, restaurants and bars. World Famous is a restaurant which is connected to Surfer Beach and is highly recommended. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Gustavo S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/6w7lG5sMJmbpzEwF1RoWjg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ZJ9cZ5EwOxyVhYZaIzJxTA)",

No security of any kind. The building has the appearance of a dump, old and neglected. When we checked in to the lobby the first thing I asked was about their cancellation policy as we were booked for 3 nights at a rate of $200 per night. Of course there was no way to get our money back at that point. My wife and I somehow justified that it would be a good experience for the kids to see what a disgusting motel is like. This is the type of room young kids get to party in and trash. I use a CPAP machine and I put it on the shelf in the nightstand. Shortly after I fell asleep I woke up with a strong smell of mold. Check out the pictures of our room. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Entrance - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/ihf8FuA9ep9Mv6BAoQ1wlA/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Heater - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/pM-XJ6stmdvrKR4kNqbPHw/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Patio View - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/LRrPTlsS8WjWqPPl4ezxsg/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Shower - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Q0apdxkE5bJQE-0s_IyLIQ/348s.jpg) [See all photos from Adam J. for Surfer Beach Hotel](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?userid=tdm7y5YkdlgGtmAjvSpK1A) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Umit C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/nGKl1WkwtFvnvI4NQoZ9Vw/30s.jpg) We are very sorry that you were not happy with your stay and sadden to see such a harsh review from your end while our team members work, dedicate themselves to provide nothing but amazing experience to each guest now more than ever.

It's right on the beach in the heart of all the action in Pacific Beach. We had a great 4 night stay here. The staff is super friendly and responsive. The view from room 405 was fabulous. Every morning I could see the surfers catching waves and hear the sound of the ocean right from my bed! This is an older property that has been well maintained. The rooms are a little small by today's standards and are no frills...otherwise this would have easily been a 5 star review. I recommend asking for a room on the 4th floor. We originally were put into a 2nd floor room, but asked to move due to the view being partially obstructed by the restaurant roof. The staff moved us almost immediately, which was super cool. I would recommend this spot. You can easily walk to all the great restaurants and bars and the beach is steps away. Also, there is a nice pool and patio with ocean views. The price was very reasonable for such a crazy good location. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - View from 405 - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/9AWrBeMeW9SavQKCcAT5mQ/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Cool old school surfer hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/pPP-Hg4zcIMKSLqbKiBnRQ/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Nicole G.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/ptj8J2ZeIwAklgSvlm3ARA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=R-Bmt9KKmUoqnagNXXmmPw)",

I called the front desk.... the guy said he was the only one there and I would have to come get it myself... ok.... would have been fine if I hadn't just gotten out of the shower...... when we first checked into the room.... we were sitting on the beds talking..... we look at the faux suede headboard..... and there are foot prints.... ummm.... not sure that was a sign of a clean room... kind of creepy..... we did take a pic of it as we had shared a bottle at lunch and were kinda tipsy... which actually made this funny at the time.... grosser when sober.... not sure what the deal was with the bed.... it was a mattress on an a platform.... a squishy mattress.... not comfortable.... neither of us slept well... but fine for the one night.... more than that.... I would have been crabby..... 15 bucks to park wasn't too bad.... but the person checking out when I checked in was telling the front desk about how her car had been keyed in the lot... so not sure I am happy about paying to park when someone can get their car damaged there..... you could hear everything your neighbors did.... flushing toilets.... showering.... talking.... and other things we don't want to hear.... I agree with the folks that said the pics are deceiving... and aside from location.... it really isn't much to write home about.... but if you want a place to crash after bar hoping in PB... and you don't need any frills.... this could work.... but shop around for a website that charges less to stay there than the hotel site does... because others were telling me what they paid through the hotel.... and it was worse than what I had paid on another site.... two stars for location.... and wonderful views.... but not much else going for it.... ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Deniz A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/fsa9elqMxP2Efy91F36toQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=1Ul_McORuTug361tWcucrw)",

The Surfer Beach is where we like to stay. Of course the location is awesome. You have plenty of nice restaurants within walking distance and the views of the Pacific are fantastic! Out on the boardwalk you can rent bikes. We rode up to La Jolla and back. Spectacular views!! There is a mini fridge in the room with a little storage space. The king bed was very comfortable and we fell softly to sleep at the sound of the surf outside. Complimentary coffee and hot chocolate are available at the front desk. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. She helped me print our boarding passes for our flight home. It is a nostalgic surfer hotel, so don't expect the Taj Mahal, just a clean, friendly, comfortable place to stay right on the PB. While we were eating breakfast at Woody's (adjacent to the hotel) on our last day, we saw several pods of dolphins and a baby whale! They were installing new carpet in every room when we left. The pool was very clean, but too cold to get in while we were there. Over all it was another fantastic stay and I can't wait to visit again! ![Surfer Beach Hotel - The Crystal Pier at night.

We had two housekeepers call in sick, so were short-staffed and I apologize for the delay. A discount had already been provided in compensation for the inconvenience.

We had honored his request of 4th floor ocean view double, but he asked for a very specific room, which we could not accomodate. We were sold out for that day for a few weeks, so Carla could not have accepted a walk-in reservation. His reservation had been made just one month prior to arrival. I called the guest's room twice within fifteen minutes of check-in and his wife came down to speak to me. When I told her that unfortunately, we were sold out and guests were already staying in the specific room he wanted, she said "I understand, but my husband does not and was already in the process of leaving a bad review." His wife was gracious in understanding the predicament that we as the hotel could not do anything to move them, as there were guests in the room he wanted. My Assistant GM went up to his room as well to again speak with him about your disappointment and again he didn't mention any housekeeping issues. We would have been happy to rectify them immediately. As a small hotel of 53 rooms, we make a huge effort to accommodate every request. I am sorry we were not able to get him the specific room it turned out he was hoping for and that we have lost his business for good. I extend an invitation to reconsider. - [![Photo of Kaitlyn S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bD1Ozf99dm2RwpB2Nt_m1A)",

We had a great time. The rooms are not super fancy, but they are nice, and clean and comfortable. They have a big king bed, huge flat screen TV mounted on the wall and even a small mini-fridge to keep leftovers in (from all the good restaurants in the area)! The most amazing thing about the hotel is the location and the view! We stayed in a couple different rooms (due to some scheduling stuff on our part we had to switch rooms once, and then one night we got a free upgrade to the Sunset Suite!). Both of the basic rooms we stayed in had views of the ocean and we even saw dolphins from the window the second we checked in! The Sunset suite is AMAZING. It is a huge space, and more than we needed for our free night, but we seriously enjoyed sitting out on the deck to watch the sunset and relax. They also have great coffee in the lobby (mahcine made capuccino's as well as regular coffee) and super sweet hot chocolate! The staff was also really nice. I would def stay here again! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Rachael R.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=0SuajqLBM7nGKu8kPaQmBQ)",

Their "standard rooms", which cost you ~$200, are on the ground floor and have absolutely privacy. The worst is #111. Smelly and stuffy, with no windows. It has a slider that looks out on the pool area, but it is on the only aisle that provides beach access to the 1st floor rooms, so there is constant traffic going past it day and night. This room also has an entrance on a lovely alley where the dumpsters are kept and various dudes go to smoke pot and drink beer at night (right outside your bathroom). Last but not least, the room is outfitted with an awesome Samsung TV, but the rug in the room adds the special touch. It smells, sticks to your feet and leaves them black if you walk on it barefoot. Sucked!!!!! Save your $200 and sleep on the beach for free and have the same exact experience. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Umit C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/nGKl1WkwtFvnvI4NQoZ9Vw/30s.jpg) I am disappointed to read that this guest did not enjoy their stay. Room 111 is indeed a standard room, without an ocean view, but many guests prefer this room for it's proximity to the beach. However, the behaviour of other guests passing through that area is a concern and I encourage our guests to reach out to us during their stay, so we can eliminate any behavior of others that infringes on the enjoyment of our guests. Our carpets are steam-cleaned monthly, but being a beach hotel with exterior hallways, they do tend to attract the dirt, as people don't take their shoes off when walking around in the room. I appreciate these comments so I can follow up with our Housekeeping Team to ensure that room gets extra attention. - [![Photo of M A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7xU3TDpEa0E0PrQ6Z2kPiw)",

There's a little area filled with shops next door. We got there at 4pm (checkin time is 3pm). "Sorry, the room isn't ready. Come back in 20 minutes." Okay, we came from a cold place and have long sleeve shirts and long pants, whereas everyone here is in shorts and sandals. We walk around and sweat for 20 minutes. 20 minutes later, "It still isn't ready, can you come back at 5 o'clock? Here's a $5 voucher at Tony Romas." I notice on the wall behind the desk that employees get a bonus if they can convince customers to go eat at Tony Romas. Gee, thanks. Finally we get in our hotel. The television doesn't work. Not that it matters--we are here for the beach and San Diego sites. We are here for 3 nights, but every day, at 11am, our room key stops working. I have to go down (from 4th floor), and get the keys redone. One night the toilet overflows. I go down to get a plunger. "When you are done, bring it back, or you can call me and I can come pick it up." No, my kids are asleep, I'm not going to have you come up and knock and wake them up. So I fix the toilet and go back down and return the plunger. I really can't believe it. Here's $5, go the dollar store and buy yourself 5 more plungers, so next time you can let the guest keep the plunger in his room, and pick it up after he checks out. I guess that's what you get with a lower priced beach hotel: a really cheaply run hotel. Can you believe only three towels in a room with two double beds? I recommend spending a little extra and going somewhere else. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Dick A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7WovzIIMBjVBkdAb0LSeAQ)",

We look forward to having our family vacation here next year too. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Amy H.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/QElWES_JBIoGEjX3hWbPBA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Uf8bd-msEStaKP72XUvjrw)",

We brought our two 12 year old children on a family vacation. I'll start with the pros: friendly staff and great location. My family and I will not stay here ever again. The room was smelly. The carpet was old with stains. The furniture was dated. We had a Jr Suite that came with a roll in air conditioner that did not work well. My family all showered in our flip flops and cover the toilet with toilet paper before using. My husband got his air freshener from the car to help the smell. We did not walk around in our bare feet at anytime during our stay. We were disappointed to say the least. Don't bring your family to stay here. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=50) [3](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=20) [4](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=30) [5](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=40) [6](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=50) [8](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=70) [9](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=80) [10](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=90) [11](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=100) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=70) [7 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/c-BO9gdumIlkr37EXEuHWw) [![Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/WEP2sSdASvlz892WeI0-SQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/adredir?ad_business_id=dfZRyUHVubNlKBa4ADUMiA&campaign_id=pooTf1pGRTXPmR2ctzPwHQ&click_origin=biz_avatar&placement=below_biz_review&placement_slot=1&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Fhampton-inn-and-suites-san-diego-seaworld-san-diego%3Fhrid%3DVAf1G5cOvgI-iV2fOvCc7Q&request_id=35853c8b64564404&signature=e66ff5965c00d8500f4104c7cdc5d4b95cc90190ff080c511c1894491328079c&slot=0) [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld](https://www.yelp.com/adredir?ad_business_id=dfZRyUHVubNlKBa4ADUMiA&campaign_id=pooTf1pGRTXPmR2ctzPwHQ&click_origin=business_name&placement=below_biz_review&placement_slot=1&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Fhampton-inn-and-suites-san-diego-seaworld-san-diego&request_id=35853c8b64564404&signature=80de896f922044bd621e33e29f4410fdf12c19f72a160388e9111fc71ad72a42&slot=0) **3.7 miles** away from Surfer Beach Hotel Maximus D. said"This place is newly renovated & in a great location.

Supposedly it was a Niagara Bed and yes it did move up and down, but was really 2-twins scooted together an in NO WAY could be considered a queen. They weren't even secured together so snuggling was out of the question. Imagine an air bed with no air, it becomes a hammock that you 'fall into". That was our bed situation. ABSOLUTELY beyond unacceptable! The room is NOTHING like the pictures show online. It is old, dirty and gross. No A/C, really a motor-lodge at best that is so run down it should just be torn down and rebuilt. I would highly recommend that you reconsider your stay. It is highly priced and disgusting. If you'd like pictures of the bed, I'd be happy to send them! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Laura M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/4psgBSfbA4N2-PPmpZk8yA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=2dTV2H096YV_bZ11AIk2ZQ)",

We spoke to Mercedes and she was delightful and a joy to speak with. The hotel is pretty run down. Not the cleanest hotel. The bedroom smells old and the furniture is old as well. Despite thinking that this is "just a place to sleep at night" it does build on you over time and make you miss your own home. Also, beware of the smell outside. Despite being so close to the ocean, there's a restaurant nearby that gives off a strong fryer oil smell. Kinda takes away from the ocean view experience. Also since you are close to a lot of shops, you get garbage trucks every morning at 7:30 am and you will hear them backing up and dumping trash for 30 mins straight. That also ruins chances of you sleeping in. Also beware of stains that might appear on your sheets. We ordered room service and got a new comforter that had random stains on it (koolaid/coffee) when checking out I informed the front desk and showed her pictures so nothing would be taken from my deposit. This is nit-picking but there was a dead spider in the top corner of our room which IMO speaks volumes attention to cleanliness. Overall, the staff is amazing, cleanliness is sub-par, location is amazing (despite the oil smell), parking is awesome, but the property owner should look to renovating the hotel. -Trash trucks noise all 5 days at 7:30 -Place really run down and smells like an old hotel -Dead hanging spider in the corner of room -Convenience of being close to the beach -Walking distance to a lot of shops ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Random dinks and marks - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/zMK_se2K-QiOrzgZLSQ1zA/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - small bathroom - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/JoUNy6j-tqFuh6gqSvF2AA/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/_q8OMJITWJdjaRn9K2B5WQ/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Cracks along the shower tub - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/GId_b51gaLwvQVtQwcDRvA/348s.jpg) [See all photos from Bryan D. for Surfer Beach Hotel](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?userid=jnvx92sP0LfPFh-eBVTiVA) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Kim A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/KBFeYKTUnIo4eh3_umDv0g/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=47LE7Ii0FmZ25pLYtTHmxQ)",

The staff were helpful and considerate but that was the end of our positive experience. This hotel is in dire need of an upgrade or remodel, air conditioning, a hot tub and a thorough cleaning. The furniture was second-hand store quality and rooms were tiny for $240 per night and $15 per day parking. We smelled fried food and other food smells from sun-up until late in the night, one bed smelled like urine and the overall scent of the room can only be described as "Old Aunt Phyliss's house." We only stayed 2 of our 5 nights and negotiated $200 per night at the Catamaran Resort across the street for the remainder of our stay.

We booked the Sunset suite their biggest room sleeps 6. We booked thru THEIR website and the total price was given including taxes. We went down to check out the room and we received a second price, 400.00 less than the website had given us. A few hours later they called me said we'd been misquoted and the price was back to the original website price, still including all taxes. I called 3 days prior to our arrival, to confirm we'd have ample parking since we had 3 cars, I was told we'd have one guaranteed spot and possibly one more but no more than two for a room that sleeps 6!!! Upon check in we were told there was a 20.00 fee PER CAR to park, NOWHERE is this noted during the reservation process, nor was I told about the fee when I called to confirm parking. I told the front desk attendant this, she was rather condescending and made excuses saying " she's new I don't know why she keeps telling people that " referring to her colleague that did not mention the fee. The room and property are old, smelled mildewy and the carpet was gross, I expected more for 799.00 a night.

We had lunch, walked around, and came back about 3. The hotel receptionist was having a language issue with three young males who appeared to want to pay their bill in cash. All three of the males had 100 dollar bills. They wanted to split the bill with each one paying 1/3 but the receptionist didn't have enough cash to make change. The receptionist was trying to tell explain this and we waited for 30 minutes before another receptionist came out to help us. At that time, there were 4 to 5 waiting people behind us. The receptionist promptly wanted to give us a downgraded room and basically told is since we booked through Expedia at a discount, she couldn't give us the room we had requested and had been confirmed in writing as well as the day before. The woman then told us she would be glad to match Expedia price and we should have called her and not booked through the 3rd party because then the hotel didn't make as much money. Yet, when I was trying to book the hotel, I could never get a straight answer as to pricing. My point in all this blabber is if you don't want to honor the prices 3rd party companies pay, don't utlize the 3rd parties to book your rooms. Anyhow, this place is pretty much a dump, but it is a step up from the Beach Cottages. I'd say the staff is better at The Beach Cottages. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of J M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=NrD87MJzH3s25aLsfALIEg)",

The photos are deceiving -- it is very old, the light and pipe fixtures in the room were chipping and rusted, rusted screws coming off the door, an old, tin/metal bathroom sink, filthy floors, flies congregating in groups in the outside hallways. The list goes on. Plan for $30 outdoor parking per night, too.

I checked in a bit late as i was meeting a friend who was also staying there. So obviously seeing another room was going to happen. Their room had all the amenities...microwave, couch, etc My room had a portable air conditioner that made a massive amount of noise, was next to the laundry room and elevator. After checking in, dropped of my stuff at the room and hung out with my friend until about 2 am. Came back to the room to all this racket and was so tired to go complain to the front desk. the following morning, explained the frustration with the secretary (Front desk clerk) and the manager. His response was "am i supposed to tell everyone the bad things about the hotel?" no but maybe informing the guest that there is a mobile air conditioner in the room could have been a good idea. noise does affect people differently. Just his arrogant response was amazingly rude None of the hotels along the strip on the beach look much better then a motel...so you are paying for location. but there is no reason for such arrogance from the management ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Susan W.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=IQv7am0TxcNmGdhL2oduXQ)",

They confirmed he was working at the time of the incident. And now will confirm nothing. Mr. Corut the GM said I was harassing them after not contacting them for a full 3 weeks waiting for a response to my complaint. I was shocked and appalled that he is now claiming to be a victim!

The online pictures are at least 20 years old. I have never wanted to end a trip early, but the Surfer Beach Hotel changed that. The place is dirty, tired, and falling apart. The sink was clogged. The bathroom lock was broken. Our room had used band aids and wrappers on the floor. The staff is uninformed and rude. I could write a novel with a riveting plot about how much this place sucks. Instead, if you want to stay in even a o.k. hotel. This place aint it. - [![Photo of Candice W.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/hX9-zgJsEkOdRB_v6o7YXw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ubGj0lLuR-2qzb_JQcwQrA)",

We were only staying one night.... I barely slept the entire night for fear that our bottom floor room was going to get broken into by the seedy people hanging out in the parking lot and near the door to our room. It is close to the beach, however we had a view of the pool from our room and there were people just hanging out directly in front of our sliding glass door and talking all night. It was so uncomfortable that we couldn't even open our drapes. The fact that I paid $220 for a room here at $15 to park makes me sick! Bottom line is next time I will DEFINITELY pay the extra $50-100 to stay at the Mission Bay Hyatt! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Umit C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/nGKl1WkwtFvnvI4NQoZ9Vw/30s.jpg) I do apologize for the problem with the TV during your stay. I checked back on the incident in our Guest Log and it seems that the Front Desk offered to send an Engineer to the room to check on the TV, but you had asked for them to come the following morning. I am sorry for the misunderstanding as we would have sent someone right away if you had requested it. Our first floor rooms do face out by the pool, however, we enforce quiet hours after 10pm and the pool is closed at 9pm, so I again, I am sorry that another guest was not respecting that policy. Thanks for your feedback and we will do our best to try to learn from your experience. - [![Photo of Alycia P.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/VyU1HixisnVqkpuqsB-USQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=1SOufKNz8mppKL8jII8iiQ)",

Only because I'm older, but in my 20s this would be the place. Having said this, location is incredible, I walk outside and I'm on the beach. To my right is Woody's burgers and to my left World Famous. Btw I'm not a big fan of spinach salads, too sweet and mediocre, but World Famous has the best salmon spinach salad, and the dressing should be bottled. To die for! Unbelievable. So when my husband and I wanted more champagne and were not able to drive, Never drink and Drive! I walked right over to Palm Liquor for great choices. Great customer service also. I recommend you nail down room before reserving. 2nd fl or above so you have private balcony and view. Staff were so nice, specifically Stephanie . If I owned a 5 star hotel, she would be my general manager. I don't recommend 1st floor. No privacy and no private balcony.

You cant beat the location- steps away from pool and beach right in the heart of Pacific and Mission beach. Local to whatever you want. The price wasn't awful but a little dear. There is free hot chocolate too- cant beat that! However for 15 a night parking- id expect a parking space you could actually fit a car into. As my husnand said " i couldn't fit my D$&@k into it- and since he's not that big parking was a huge problem for our car- furthermore NO water power and the bed probably had been a granite slab at one time.

If you're new to PB, like we were, I highly recommend you find a different place. The Blue Sea Hotel across the parking lot or Tower 23 by the pier are better options. SBH is very old & outdated. There is no pride or effort on the part of ownership to make this hotel nice. We chose a king ocean view and even that was underwhelming. The room is tiny, the carpet is disgusting, the TV is small & grainy, the AC is loud & doesn't work well, the mini fridge is semi-cold, and the shower is a 4X4 hole in the wall. I'm an average height, slender woman and even I was cramped in the shower. Shaving in there was almost impossible. The only thing this place has going for it is the location. It's right on the boardwalk, steps to the sand. This was great for what we wanted on our short, 2 day trip, but even that had its drawbacks. The first morning, we were woken up at 8am by kids playing outside and the second morning we were woken up at 7am by loud, obnoxious trucks (probably garbage trucks) in the back parking lot. This problem can be mitigated with earplugs, which luckily I had. I really wanted to like this place since there were positive reviews and the pictures looked nice, but I was fooled-it was very disappointing. If we ever return to PB we will NOT be staying at SBH again. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Donna S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/g4mcP52tM3OskztBFUo7xg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=zeb5LG-V8AVufY-AAePDCg)",

Great customer service at check in. King size room small but very doable. Comfy bed. Been searching for a really good hotel on the beach. Search is over. I've found it.

Both Grady and Shane at the front desk offered hospitality to our group. What can you say for right on the beach? It is a retro style throw back of the 80's/90's. Our room was clean, we had a refrigerator, a LARGE new flat screen TV, comfortable beds, blacked out drapes, a couch, microwave, coffee maker with organic coffee comp, and for an older hotel you can tell this retro hot spot has stories to tell, (Secrets of Course). Down stairs they have a crowded popular restaurant that is very busy. In the morning you can watch the sun come up then visit the lobby for the comp coffee, flavored creamers, and cappiccino. They are a boutique style hotel just for folks that want to spend all their time at the beach, riding bikes, shopping and just taking long sunset walks on the boardwalk. You will find good value here. You can bring in a small to medium group and they have a private party pad. Pluse a retro large suit as well and pets are welcome. I am a five star girl but I will tell you like it is, this place took me back to the 80's when I did not care too much about anything except for having a good time! Expect to have fun in the summer months. Good place to have a romantic weekend on a budget. I give it 3 stars because it had everything I needed.

I'm sorry but for how much this hotel charges to stay a night it should be spotless. I don't care if it's on the beach or not or if it's a old building there's no excuse for how dirty and disgusting the room was. Blood on the bed sheets, Dust all over the room and AC unit and the bathroom had the worst pee odor I have ever smelled. I have stayed across the street at the Blue Sea Hotel and that hotel is Night and Day compared to this place. This is my honest review I would NOT Recommend The Sufer Beach Hotel to anyone.

The Hotel is overpriced for the quality ($275) plus $15 for parking and we didn't even have a Beach View. We saw the back parking lot. No Air conditioning. Small Box fan (that was filthy) to help circulate the air. TV was terrible quality and had poor reception. Carpet felt (and was in fact) absolutely disgusting. I was afraid to use the bed linens or pillows. The employees were nice and helpful but one of the maintenance kids let a broom fall from the upper floor and it hit the roof of our car causing a minor dent. He felt awful and I didn't want him to loose his job so we didn't say anything.

Keep in mind you are in PB so it will be loud at night. There are some great spots within walking distance to eat, drink and relax. You do not need your car once you arrive. The hotel does show its age but in my mind it was a tradeoff for the location and view. Bed was surprisingly new and comfortable. I recommend for a beach getaway.

The pools great for the kids, and the people at the front desk are so nice and caring, each one of them! We left our last hotel right away because we had the worst time... (hotel Del Coronado) we tried to check into this one pretty early in the morning, they couldn't give us our room right away but they were very accommodating, They ended calling us at 1230 to get our room, it was the best on the fourth floor, the hotel is in a great location. With a really good restaurant attached. We will be back next summer ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=220) [20](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=190) [21](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=200) [22](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=210) [23](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=220) [25](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=240) [26](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=250) [27](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=260) [28](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=270) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=240) [7 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/c-BO9gdumIlkr37EXEuHWw) ### People found Surfer Beach Hotel by searching for… -

Based on my experience, I'm stunned that this hotel could get more than one star from anyone. If I could, I'd give this place negative stars! My friend and I got the hotel through Hotwire (not doing that again) and we arrived on a Sunday evening to check in with my friend's two little girls (ages 2 and 4). The room was on the first floor facing the parking lot (parking spots are minuscule so prepare for some car dings), and the first thing we notice when we walk in is the stale cigarette smell. Then let me list the things that sucked... the 42" flat screen mounted TV they advertise was broken so sitting on a dresser in front of it was a smaller TV (made for An awkward space since it was right in front of the door), the deadbolt wouldn't work, there wasn't a bathtub, there weren't any towels, there wasn't a CLOSET, the refrigerator was unplugged so the water leaked everywhere from the defrost, and the pullout sofa bed couldn't be used or it would block the bathroom door. When we talked to the front desk about changing to a room with 2 beds, the guy said there weren't any available for both of the nights we booked. When we asked for a room that at least had a bathtub for the girls to bathe the guy said the only rooms left had the walk in handicap shower which proved messy and awkward with bath time. When we gave up on getting another room, we asked for linens for the sofa the guy said they were in the closet, and when we said there wasn't one he just looked confused. He then had to get us towels and linens. When we told him about the deadbolt being broken he said he could come look at it later but he was the only one there (he didn't.). One of the worst things is that there was no A/C and it was hot and stuffy in the room. We opened the sliding door for a while but had to close it while we slept for safety (two little girls). ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Andrew N.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/-cteUzaq-KNUaXIyijH6pA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=evNs8t2wAqlvm3rTD3PS0A)",

The staff was super friendly. The cleaning people were a beacon of hope in an otherwise miserable landscape of shitty attitudes and douchey people that inhabit PB. 2\. The room is simple. It has a comfy bed, it's clean, it has nice low lighting, and the TV is just that, a TV. It doesn't have some stupid system on it that makes you watch adverts for $15/night movies or change channels wicked slow or make you go through the "menu system" to watch TV. It's just a good old fashioned TV. We had a beach view, and the Surfer is attached to World Famous which is a nice place to each some good sea food and a cool bar with pretty cool bar tenders. It was expensive, but not out of control for a beach view in PB. Really the only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars from me is because I didn't know that they charged $12/night for parking until I got there. It wasn't included in the price or anything. Parking is super shitty in PB, so you know it's going to cost you, but I felt like it was an a shady extra charge that you don't know about until you get there. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Abby L.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/vT2dw9YD7280gBIOvMlFFQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=9gMP3Sfc7c2CdD-W7VRvaA)",

This property has great location. Close to beach, restaurant , bars and attractions. Having balcony with ocean view was just amazing . There are bunch of different options for surf and bike rentals . Ralph's , cvs couple of blocks away from hotel . Our room had small fridge and microwave. Mainly well cleaned room. There is no AC in the rooms, for our entire stay we didn't feel that we need one anyway. Our balcony door was open and breeze from ocean was more than enough for us. Maintenance guy help us out with couple of different things. I think his name is Leo. He was helpful and friendly all those times. He seems that he know everything. Justin and Megan was great help at front desk.they made things happen for all of us with different requests. During our stay we had concerns about some issues. extending our stay, parking etc. so we wanted to talk to manager . We talked to Umit. Umit was helpful and professional.beside helping with all problems, He help us with finding place to eat, rent surf board etc.he even Print out map quest for event we wanted to attend. My family wanted to thank you to surfer beach hotel management for friendly and helpful staff members. Keep up to good job. Get AC in the rooms. Get new furniture in the rooms. Overall friendly staff. Great location , amazing view and okay furniture. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Get away from Los Angeles... - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/bISZKJLmvJuWo9HbnBXWQQ/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/rOtm_g1-COTRmyf5OxjItw/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Chuck T.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=IDCQ1ccjSRqOQoBtbabb7Q)",

On the second night of our stay at the Surfer Hotel, our room door wouldn't open, even after the nighttime handyman tried with his gadgets. Since there was no way this handyman nor my 70 yr. old wife nor I could get through the bathroom window, my 35 year old son volunteered to come down and try. However, the door would not open from the inside either! So there we were with all of our medicines, toiletries, clothes, etc. stuck in our room. Fortunately the Surfer had another (less desirable room), which we were able to move into after my son handed some essentials out of the bathroom window. What do you think the Surfer offered in return for our 3 hour ordeal and an inferior room (we had to drive our son home as well). In the end, NOTHING. First Mercedes (night desk) said that she would "comp" our room for the night -- in fact, I even discussed staying another night instead of the comp, so there's no doubt the comp was offered. However, when we went to check out the next day, we were presented with the full two-day bill, except that they offered to comp our $20 Parking Charge -- However, we did NOT PARK ON THEIR PROPERTY and did not have a parking charge - there were no parking charges to comp! (Should be add "incompetence" to the list?) At that time Mercedes lied, denying offering to comp our room, even though we discussed the option of staying an extra night INSTEAD OF THE COMPED NIGHT. Even worse, in the ensuing week I emailed to the Surfer Beach Hotel Manager 3 times (always politely), and NOT ONCE DID HE/SHE HAVE THE COURTESY TO EVEN RESPOND. I have rented over 100 rooms at this hotel over the decades (I will miss the place), and have even written positive reviews (July 2009), but this current management team has no clue about customer service (or even telling the truth). No integrity whatsoever. What other reputable hotel would offer ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in return for being locked out of our room for the night, offering a less desirable room as a replacement, needing the help of my son to solve THEIR problem, and then lying to cover it up? What other hotel would not even have the courtesy to RESPOND to my complaint. Hopefully none. By the way, if the Surfer Beach Motel attempts to rebut any of these charges, add more lies to their list. What I have written in the absolute, incontrovertible truth - not an opinion. I have written hundreds of hotel reviews in Tripadvisor. and other sites, and this is only my second negative one (Bad experience in Barcelona was the other). Avoid this place if you value customer service and integrity. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Nikki H.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/yHkGXS-87c9wILFvzBo0sg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=6Jy0NSaC7n4D5198eWtXYg)",

A great big THANK YOU especially for LEO and TIM who went WAY over and beyond to make it a great stay for my 14 year old. (Sorry Leo and Tim for taking so long to finally post this review!) My family arrived to the hotel and found parking reserved for hotel guests. The parking gets full later in the afternoon as non-guests sometimes sneak in to park, but the hotel doesn't really have control over that. When we got into our room which had a balcony with an ocean front view (beautiful!), my son wanted to hook up his game system to play while our little one napped. Turned out the hook ups were buried in the back of the TV hanging on the wall which we couldn't access, Leo came up and was extremely pleasant and professional in his mannerism, when he needed help to support the TV for the hookup, he recruited Tim, who was equally as professional. It took almost 20 minutes to finally get it working, but they were both so patient and accommodating. To my son, they made the highlight of our stay! We also had some empty beer cans that were stashed in the small closet and some cabinets. Management was very apologetic and offered to remove them right away. It wasn't a big deal as obviously someone had a good time before us and the offer to clean up and management's apology was sincere. The room itself was a bit tight, but with the view, sound of the surf and the fact that the beach is minutes outside more than made up for it. The bathroom shower was small, but there was never a shortage of hot water. The bed was comfortable. One small thing though is that there is no A/C in the room, but the hotel does leave a box fan in the room to keep air circulating...once the son sets, it gets pretty cool, so it isn't too much of a problem. A big plus for the hotel is that they offer complimentary Boyd's hot chocolate and coffee! YUM!!! If you want to be near the beach and enjoy some surf, sun with friends, family or a romantic trip.....you've got to visit Surfer Beach Hotel! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Todd H.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/0iUQ8vMoy8ey4btNvVM1sA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=e-0okx8g1ukiT4nyEXSUcQ)",

Our management team price our hotel competitively and according to daily facts. We encourage every guest booked their reservation in advance, directly over the phone or Surfer own website. Surfer Hotel Beach rates are one of most reasonable to beach hotels.

Our entire family loves it. We have little kids and it's perfect for us. The beach right next to it is beautiful and the pool is heated and fun. The beds are so comfortable. The hotel staff are helpful and friendly. We can't wait to be back at the surfer. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Charlie G.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/VFieyK3zDD3wztml5VZj3A/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jfTLAyc5vS8B0ij-KwiEDg)",

It's an amazing location with nothing but the ocean-front walking path between you and the sand. Nice! Great location, with much shopping, dining and activities within walking distance. Extremely friendly and helpful front desk staff Nice pool and sun deck area with dining tables The A/C units that are "front & center" on top of the World Famous restaurant. Be sure to request a Full Ocean View room, because if you're on anything but the 4th floor your view will be blocked by the lattice-covered air conditioners. And sadly, they're loud and run constantly. I don't know what they can do about this, but IMO it really takes away from the beautiful view and peacefulness of being right on the beach. Housekeeping could be better. The top of the microwave in my room was not dusted throughout my entire 5 day stay, and who knows how long before I arrived. Although the housekeeping carts have a vacuum on them, it's not used. I witnessed this first-hand. Not in my room, and from what I could hear, not in anyone else's room, either. How well could they have cleaned the tub if my prior day's washcloth was still in the corner of the tub rim where I'd left it? There's no AC in any of the rooms and for the most part, that's fine. I did find a tower fan in the closet. If that's all the air circulation you're going to provide, at least clean it every so often. It's a shame that they don't care more about basic cleaning. And please put a FITTED sheet on the mattress. Sleeping on a loose bottom sheet is not fun. The Room. I was upgraded to Jr. Suite on the 4th floor because the room they wanted to give me was on the 3rd floor directly behind the aforementioned AC Units. That's not the view I wanted, or requested, for my week in San Diego! The room had 2 dressers, a King "pillow top" bed, wet bar with mini-fridge, microwave and coffeemaker, and a "pleather" pull-out couch. Worst fabric choice ever in a warm and humid environment. What the room did not have was any sort of table where you could eat, read or write. There are black-out curtains on the front window, but no shear curtains, so unless I wanted to come "eye to eye" with people passing by my room, the full curtains stayed shut, thereby blocking any breeze and cross-flow I might get by having the windows open. It's a simple addition that would make such a huge difference. And lastly, it's 2015. Please don't make me have to unplug things behind furniture in order to have the use of an accessible outlet for my electronics. Misc. Observations. There's no phone book or hotel-provided information on nearby restaurants or stores, so unless I passed it on foot or by driving by, I had no idea what was close by. Most hotel rooms comes with a small binder of where things are on the property, what's nearby, local attractions, etc, etc. Not this one. On my last night I was awakened by cigarette smoke. It was awful. I had the balcony door open for air circulation which left my room smelling of smoke. The next morning I asked at the front desk if the hotel was a non-smoking hotel. I was told yes and that each guest acknowledges this on the paperwork they sign upon arrival. Ok, but where are the signs?? There are no No Smoking signs in or on the door of any room, or in the lobby area! I was glad to have only encountered this on the last night of my stay, but they really do need signage. Street parking is available, but hard to come by unless you're very lucky or very patient about waiting for a spot to open up. Overall the Surfer Beach Hotel is not bad as beach lodging goes. The location cannot be beat, there's a lot you can walk to, and there's lots to do in the area. But it could definitely use a paint job and some "attention to detail" (thorough cleaning of rooms, helpful info in rooms, etc) to bring it up to the standard of other hotels in the area. \*\*\*It's now late September. Every so often I'll check back to see if the manager has left any comments about my review, as they did for several others. I don't know if they think ignoring it will make this any less true, or if they actually think it's not true? For as much as I'd like for my claims of poor housekeeping and views to not be true, unfortunately they are. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - View from Room 408 - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/rgEYnEYgV7DS4sOiqjCOwQ/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - View of the pool from my room - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/xnFGWNcYHcf0pvhQMLMrrQ/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - View to the south from my room.

The place is a dive in every sense of the word. The room was outright nasty. The pull out bed in the sofa was literally just springs that poked us all night long. The towels in the tiny bathroom were so old they weren't absorb any at all. The so-called lobby is raunchy and uninviting and everything is outdated and in need of a good cleaning. The hotel clearly lacks in the upkeep department. The pool area is ok but there is no hot tub.

      "traverse:reviewText": "[Shannon B.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=b6RnAX7Zjg50FqTxIfs86Q) I'm not a very picky person when it comes to hotels, but one very important thing... my 3 year olds feet do not turn black after walking on the floor for 15 minutes, no dirty/used tissues in the closet, no blood on the bed sheets and no strange brownish/black "stuff" on the sheets of the couch pull out bed! I found all this AND horrible customer service at our stay at the Surfer beach hotel! when we checked on in 7/16/14 we called for early check in, 2 hours early, we had called 3 hours early and were told the room was ready. I would rather them clean the room and we find something to do then have a filthy room. when we checked in neither of the to lady's at the desk greeted me, just stared at me... I had to start the greeting, "Hi I'm here to check in. During check in another customer came in, she was asked if she had a question... the customer proceeded to say that her and her dad were waiting on a room but they would go ahead and take the couch, they lady helping me stopped helping me and started talking to her. I had to interrupt and say, "I'm sorry but I have a 3 year old who needs to use the bathroom so I am in a bit of a hurry". I'm not sure why one of the two lady's could not help me and the other help the other customer??? When we check in to the room it look fairly clean other than what looked to be pizza cheese on the wet bar faucet. The room was a nice size for what we were looking for and we were glad to be seconds from the beach. It would have been nice to be told were the ice/pool entrance/back stare case/boardwalk entrance etc. was, we figured that out on our last day there. My husband, 3 year old and I were going to share a bed, our 13 year old on the roll away (which nicely arrived about 10 minutes after we called for it) and our 17 year old on the pull out couch. Once our day ended and we went to our room we started to notice filth! with in 15 minutes of our 3 year old walking on the fool her feet were black! I'm sure hotels close to the beach have a hard time keeping the floors clean but that's just disgusting! when we pulled out the couch bed there was a blood stain, very visible, there is no way the cleaners did not see it (or the brown spots on the beds comforter). As we pulled the sheet off we saw a large area of brownish/black "stuff". At 9:30pm I called the front desk, told them what I had found and asked for new sheets. the only response I got was, Okay! After an hour, yes a full hour I called back. At 10:30pm I called 3 times before anyone picked up. All three calls went to the operator and just ran and ran. When I spoke with someone I was told he thought we already go them and they were dealing with something. Now don't get me wrong, it sucks when your in the middle of "something" and are being bothered by something/one else. I work in field were excellent customer service is expected at all times, so as a customer it's not my problem that you are dealing with something! I waited another 30 minutes. Now an hour and a half later at 11:00pm I called back and said forget it, I need to go to bed don't send anyone up, the man on the phone yelled Ma'am ma'am we are coming. I just hung up on him. 10 minutes later there was a knock on my door, a man with sheets. I am sadden by the service and completely disgusted with how dirty the room and bathroom were. While we walked bare foot on the beach and boardwalk we all wore shoes the entire time we were in the hotel room. The pool was also gross, not sure if this is because people coming from the beach go in it so it's hard to maintain but either way after 5 minutes in it I made my kids get out. To top it all off we found a "we appreciate your feedback" card left by the previous customer. We staid in room #314 and as I do not know these people I will call them family C they put their date of stay as 7-14-14. They put fair from service and maintenance, they put poor for rate the overall hotel and cleanliness of your room. under the question "How could we improve your stay? The C family wrote: Start over! I guess that says it all right there! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Umit C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/nGKl1WkwtFvnvI4NQoZ9Vw/30s.jpg) I am sorry that you received poor service for your recent stay.

The front desk is very friendly and they actually took care of all my requests. Megan stood out as a "yes" employee. there were a few others who also deserve a "good job" and a "thank you". The hotel is not the Marriot, but for us it is one we have returned to over the past 20 years. The shrimp taco Tuesday below at the "Famous" restaurant is worth the wait. There is a Kehbob place right across the parking lot which is a 5 star eatery. There are some new additions like the showers which are nice and some oldies that I would hope keep being replaced as needed. I would give the establishment and team 4 stars.

We had the advantage of being able to walk out on the beach whenever we wanted and walk to whatever restaurants we felt like but it was a dive. I paid for a room with ac and got a room with a fan in the closet. It ended up not making a difference because of the weather. The view from our balcony was great but you couldn't smell the ocean air and smelled food instead. The maid doesn't clean. Office staff was friendly. Bottom line is you're paying for location not the quality of the room. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Umit C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/nGKl1WkwtFvnvI4NQoZ9Vw/30s.jpg) I am sorry you were disappointed with your stay.

The view is very nice and during the late nights and early mornings, the uninterrupted sound of the ocean waves is so nice. It's a little noisy during the day, BUT you have to expect that on the beach. My biggest complaint is that they do not offer parking. You have to pay an additional $15 to park in ridiculously small parking spaces! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Dan C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/-7JEQeqPye2z6Qpz1Ce0hw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=oRFfSTI7lheLV7AcQh_QqQ)",

The only thing better than the view was the terrific customer service which featured prompt and pleasant responses to all of our needs. That customer service even took place after our departure as we left something behind and the staff especially Stephanie all went out of their way to give valued assistance and extremely appreciated follow - up !! So thanks Surfer Beach for a great stay and especially Stephanie for going out of your way to help us retrieve my car car/storage keys !

But it's not that nice. The rooms are very small and plain and if this hotel was found an hour inland the room rates would be $30 a night instead of over $200. That said, the location is prime and right on the beach in an area that if you're looking for sun, beginner surfing, college bars and the "San Diego vibe" you are in the right place. I should mention that the hostel across the street costs $100 a night for a private room and their bathtubs don't drain, the tv is 13" and black and white and has only a bunk bed option so if you compare this place to that for the cost, you are getting a decent deal. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Jason T.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/5MtkdXv4ATrRenn-rq9F3w/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=hoZuVUl0VN9ZbnSOYCm5jg)",

I booked a room on expedia and after asking for an ocean view they put me in the corner with a view of a bush. For over $250/ night!. The rooms are tiny, and filthy. I used the bathmat to wipe up moisture and it came up Black! The sink is tiny, the whole deal should be a 65 dollar a night place but somehow they get almost 300/night for disgusting rooms. The carpets are greasy to the touch, you do not wish to even walk barefoot in these rooms. The balcony has cheap plastic furniture that is dirty as well. The showers have been tiled with the cheapest tile (floor tile) imaginable. This is not mid century but run down. The world famous restaurant next door is a greasy spoon that wafts over the room. This is the biggest rip off in mission beach, but very popular with folks who do not know better. Shame on them for bait and switch- tiny rooms,sagging mattress, horrible in fact ( don't buy the organic bedding deal-) the bottom sheets were poly, to surmise . super expensive, and the waves out front are the worst in San Diego county. The rooms are noisy as you are on the boardwalk. This hotel is perfect for the spring break crowd who have never been in a decent hotel. A further point is they have no air conditioning and there is little or no ventilation, even with the sliding door to the ocean completely open I still sweated all night in July, As well a smoker on an adjacent balcony fired up all night blowing into my room, but I thought I would find solace in TV , but alas not cable but cheap satellite tv with 35 crappy channels, Air conditioning units and carpets are cheap , as is decent TV service. There are many better options in the area. Note when owners respond- they never improve this place. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Danielle H.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/ts18W0vipeG5DpvrXvSC5A/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=KE1qGzanNbsATGpcdpQXbQ)",

Right on the beach, this is not my favorite beach, lots and lots of kelp/seaweed in piles on the beach and in the waves, kind of gross. But close to everything. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. NO airconditioning so make sure to make use of the fans at night available in the closet. We were there in June and it was already getting pretty hot. Housekeeping cannot count though. Every time we could only get 3 towels for the 4 of us. We left them on the rack to preserve water...they took them all and left 3 (twice). We always had to ask for more and they promptly brought us 3 more (only needed one), next day housekeeping took even the clean ones and you guess it left us 3! Parking is a nightmare. PAY FOR PARKING, we saw many cars being towed that did not have parking passes, whether they were guests or not, not sure. But trust me $15 a day is worth it when there is no parking. We paid for parking but there was none available in their lot! Daniel said he would comp us a day and it would pay for the underground parking next door until a space came available. Then an employee gave us his space, until one showed up. Daniel and the parking lot fellows DO NOT get paid enough to work here. Talk about rude customers and parkers without passes freaking out about getting towed when signs everywhere said they will get towed. We actually took some guilty pleasure in watching the cars get towed that didn't pay. Daniel was obviously stressed out, but was great with us and helped us out a lot. Good job man! If you don't have a reservation for the on ground restaurant, good luck, you will wait 2+ hours. We opted for street tacos at a local vendor (super yummy and way cheaper than the restaurant) and watched a man juggle fire on the beach. Great stay and will be back!

A good friend of ours recommended the hotel which is right on the beach in Mission Beach. It is literally steps away from the ocean and some of the best little eateries on the coast. The views from our room on the fourth floor were breathtaking and we slept with the sliding glass door open and listened to the waves crash all night long. I would definitely stay here again. The rooms were clean and the staff was very friendly. Thanks for the amazing experience, we can't wait to return!!! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Jeannie M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=UlZlUFdrCSyRaNf02KA1mA)",

I personally had to borrow 409 from the house next door to clean the tile floors as my feet were black and sticky from who knows what was on the floor. Then you have to pay to park there when you stay there. Then they put what ever amount fancies them on your card as a deposit. Its smelled like mildew and no ventilation.

Way overpriced!! This place is complete shit! Room smelled like a Salvation Army store and mold straight up!! There was mold in the shower , the toilet had blood on it, nothing was wiped down. The sink was so dirty. I had Clorox wipes and cleaned everything down and guess what? Every wipe turned brown to black even wiping down the dresser and remotes. I was terrified to sleep here. It's located right in a ghetto area surrounded by bars as well. I only took some photos cus I immediately started cleaning forgot to take some pics first. Please never stay here. It's supposed to be non smoking but people were smoking in the next room. Whoever is the housekeeper needs to be fired immediately!!!!!! Also the flooring was so filthy I can feel the dirt on the ground.

I give the hotel two stars-one for location, the other for the staff who were always friendly. The reason I did not rank this hotel higher is that when we came home late after the game, the rollaway we requested was not in the room as promised numerous times. In addition, the sleep sofa mechanism was broken and we needed someone from the front desk to put the bed part back in so one of us could sleep on the seat cushions. As I said, the guy who came up was helpful, but this is something you don\`t want to deal with at 11pm. Finally, there was a charge for the rollaway we were never informed of, though it was reasonable at $10. As for noise, hey, you are at the beach so you should expect some of this. Pacific Beach is fun, but it does get a little crazy at times. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Michelle K.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=eyopS2alrHLmigz-bFfx2g)",

The Front Office Manager that you checked-in with was indeed trying to remedy your situation to the best of his ability. Unfortunately we were sold out on Saturday and you had not booked an ocean view, so he was not in the position to be able to relocate you to another room. The Front Office Manger offered to refund your money so you could check out, as you had stated that you would have liked to leave if you had not prepaid. He was in no way suggesting that you leave and I apologize if it came across that way. It was just his intention, as it is always with our guests, to do whatever we can do to please our guests. I am sorry that this was not clear. - [![Photo of Katie D.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=dp5e0JAO3k7Nkw__NQ3oSA)",

It's right on the beach! Staff were friendly and helpful. Our only problem was with the toilet, and they took care of that promptly. The price was very reasonable compared to other hotels near the beach. There is an additional fee ($37.50, I think) for using the private parking lot. We did pay that for the first couple days; we arrived on the weekend and the free public parking area was packed. On weekdays it wasn't difficult to find free parking nearby so we did not need to park in the private lot. The staff are totally understanding about this. During a more busy time of year it might be worth it to pay for the parking though. They do not serve breakfast there. They do have a nice coffee and hot drink dispenser in the lobby, it's free for guests. My husband is still talking about how he misses this a week after our stay. There are restaurants immediately next to the hotel, just a short stroll from your room. Our room was pretty small, but it was clean and comfortable. I did not like how loud the air conditioner was. It was cool enough that we could just leave our balcony door open. If we had had to have it on all night it would not have been good. I don't know if that is a problem in other rooms. I definitely would stay here again if we come back to San Diego.

They didn't make the beds, didn't clean. Staff makes excuses and lied to us. They charge you $25. Per night to park in the hotel parking lot or you will get towed. There is no street parking. Finally, they water gave out. We had no water cold or hot on Sunday night thru morning. The staff kept saying there was nothing they could do, we had to wash up at a gas station. No, drinking water.

Our entire team goal is to make sure that our guest having best time is possible during their stay. Your reservation get us through third party which is Expedia on this case for ocean view jr suite. At your check in process you have been placed ocean view JR suite which you booked. After your check in process; you mention that your view was not the best view and asked for different room. Our front office team offered couple of different options and one of them was 2 bedroom apartment for upgrade fee other options was free of charge. You choose sunset suite option over other options and yes there was a fee since there were multiple other options but you specifically wanted Sunset Suite. Sunset suite is our two bedroom apartment which has ocean view and its own entrance and own deck. Sunset suite is about 1200 sq foot versus ocean view jr suites about 370 sq foot. Our sunset suite recently has been upgraded with new flooring, dining table, new couches, fans and bunch more. Sunset Suite online rates start anywhere from $499 and it goes up to $1999 depend on the demand and season. We do have big wall heating unit in the wall between bedrooms and living room. I am sorry that we did not point out or communicate this to you this during your stay. Our housekeeping service is daily and housekeeping team service rooms between 9 am to 4 pm daily. Some rooms got service earlier than others depend on requests and dispatch. As far as my understanding your wife requested service according to our notes in our system, our Front office manager sent housekeeper member to your suite as soon as housekeeping was available according to request. Again I am very sorry that our housekeeping department could not fit in your time and cleaning standards. In our hotel, after housekeeper turning rooms status as clean in our system our supervisors and inspectors check those rooms as well.Hearing from you that our housekeeping team provided terrible service is disappointing to all of us. Surfer Beach Hotel charge $25 dollars per night for parking. We are at the beach and we do have limited parking space. Between surrounding hotels we are closer to cheaper than being expensive. Our competition cross the street charging $28 other hotel down the street charging $35 dollars per night. At this moment San Diego City decided to provide all free street parking spaces to their contractor and yes unfortunately there is no same block free city parking available. There are still bunch of neighbor parking cross the street east side of mission boulevard if you are wiling to walk 3 to 10 minutes depend on where you parked. Saturday night Sunday morning around 3 am we did have problems with our commercial boiler. Our operation manager arrived to hotel around 3.30 and I personally arrived to hotel around 3.45 am. Beside our operation manager and I both worked and have done everything in our power to fix this problem, we did have limited options for parts late at night. We called third party company for assistance with parts and they arrive 4.30 am in the morning. Due to scale of work we were not able to fix this issue before 9 am. I am very sorry about that. This issue was not something we planned for. This problem also was not something we could resolve right away. During all this time period cold water still was available. I understand that it was really cold morning. Cold shower was unacceptable for you. We do have bottle of waters at the front desk. If you were mentioning to us that you had no drinking water, I would stop what I was doing and I would make sure that you and your family has drinking water. We are not 5 star hotel and but we are proud to have one of the most friendliest and professional team members in our hotel. Knowing that we could not make you feel belong and understood is lesson for us to go over again and learn. According to our front desk call log, you placed call around 3.30 am and 5.30 am, you also left voice message to my line at 8.45 am. I am sorry that I could not get back to you through our front office manager earlier than 9.30 am since I was trying to fix issue with other team members and third party vendor. I understand you were upset that you have not had hot water and our housekeeping cleaning service was not up to your standards during your stay. We are very hopeful that you would adjust your review according to conversations you took with our front office manager. We compensate you according to your issues but your compensation may take some time because not only us but also third party you booked also have to be involve in compensation process. Feel free to e mail me if you have additional question or concerns at umit.corut@trigildservices.com . Again I am very sorry that we could not leave you with good memories. Thank you for your valuable feedback and have a good day. - [![Photo of Bree H.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=DeOAUeiyJDT7WFVXgR5Bdg)",

My husband and I planned a trip down to SD from LA for tomorrow (3/1) to see my cousin who lives there. Unfortunately the weather is not cooperating and we wanted to look into rescheduling for another weekend. The hotel is EXTREMELY strict on their 72hr cancellation policy. I called them at 8:45am the day before (today) check in (tomorrow) to see if we could NOT CANCEL our reservation but REBOOK for another weekend - to which I gave a specific date. At first they seemed to be ok with it and just "needed approval." I waited on the phone and the girl came back and said sorry, they couldn't do it. My question is, what did I have to say to make this happen because obviously you DO sometimes make a change last minute. Not even that it's last minute! They had more than 24hr notice which is what typical hotels request. My husband also called to see if he can work his magic and they wouldn't budge. The girl I spoke to told me herself that it was about the money and they might not be able to reserve the room. She told me the hotel was sold out so how is losing out on one room going to affect sales? Guaranteed they would've been able to get another accommodation. I'll update my review once we stay there tomorrow night. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Catherine A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/dlY3phNzb1F_R0IdNiT_nQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7cfuqltxeEkV1dT2O-SiIA)",

We've been staying here on all our SD trips for the last 10 years. The location, on the beach in the heart of PB, cannot be beat! All the rooms above the first floor have incredible ocean views. Sunrises, sunsets, surfers, dolphins, birds and people watching just cannot be beat. Surfer Beach Hotel has the best balcony views of all! It is small and old school, but that's in the name. (It's clean, safe and walkable.) If you're looking for fancy chandeliers and red carpet, stay away from PB. If you're looking for an amazingly chill experience though, with the soothing sound of ocean waves crashing, dolphin watching, surfer watching, strand & beach people watching, in a location near great restaurants and shopping, then this is the place for you. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Thanks Maurice & Aisha!

We stayed in the Sunset Suite, so this review is for the apartment suite only. It was HUGE. a nice clean bathroom, with a big opening window and a full shower/tub. There are two big bedrooms. One with a king and one with two doubles. The closets are huge, and each room has a 42 inch flat screen. Both rooms have an AC unit and big windows that open. Next comes the living room. A love seat/couch & big comfy chair make it a very enjoyable space. It also has a huge flat screen tv. The kitchen table is awesome and the windows are great. The view is Unbeatable. The kitchen is tight, but it was fine for all of us ( a group of 7) The patio off the suite is amazing. Tables chairs and lounge chairs. also has 2 bbq's. It was very fun to sit out on the patio and watch people on the boardwalk & grill up hot dogs. This place is the center-point for all the memories we made on vacation. We will definitely be staying here again. You are right on the boardwalk, which means you are in walking distance to anything you may need.

Upon arrival this time, we were offered an upgrade (for a price), a higher level, however our patio led directly out to the restaurant's roof, so our view of the ocean was inhibited. We still had a fantastic stay, but I will view the room prior to agreeing to the upgrade next time. My recommendation is to stay closer to the pool or the north side of the hotel, upper levels have the best views. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=140) [12](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=110) [13](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=120) [14](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=130) [15](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=140) [17](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=160) [18](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=170) [19](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=180) [20](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=190) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=160) [7 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/c-BO9gdumIlkr37EXEuHWw) [![Ranch Events](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/mKsqodRc94Mnk9SugX2MKw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/adredir?ad_business_id=jcoI8TV7B9LStv41akpGMQ&campaign_id=1j306u4SWFQGEdSrlji7Yw&click_origin=biz_avatar&placement=below_biz_review&placement_slot=1&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Franch-events-san-diego%3Fhrid%3De3TdFeWRU-owNig2eFESag&request_id=6a87ac5ccf86b022&signature=79290468cd3b847e4f9d3c1ab636116037c57ff6959530845d72496edaa4f557&slot=0) [Ranch Events](https://www.yelp.com/adredir?ad_business_id=jcoI8TV7B9LStv41akpGMQ&campaign_id=1j306u4SWFQGEdSrlji7Yw&click_origin=business_name&placement=below_biz_review&placement_slot=1&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Franch-events-san-diego&request_id=6a87ac5ccf86b022&signature=df6759a3a67b36345454199e66663a6d0704123edc251c4f95d374aa40bdecaa&slot=0) **6.1 miles** away from Surfer Beach Hotel Vyanna L. said"Reading the terrible reviews below I am shocked.

We went in early January and understood it would not be summer weather but wanted to be close to the beach and relax by the ocean. Pros:close to the beach with nice ocean view.free basic cable. Cons:1.noisy, this place spent no money on sound proofing, we could hear above, next door and outside noise all the time. 2\. the shower water had barely any water pressure, felt like water was trickling on us. 3\. charged for both parking and internet. 4\. pool not heated. (but i guess SD is usually warm enough where you would not need it but still...) 5\. furnishings worn down, a piece of the side of the bed fell off on arrival. people in this town must have a lot of money if $159 a night only buys you this with almost no amenities. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Jules H.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/Oo_UkXmHAkFf91pm2GiE6g/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Gn9_2OYf-g_SGXPUYR6Feg)",

Right on the beach/boardwalk. The restaurant next door "World Famous" was amazing. We didn't need to take a car anywhere the whole time because everything was really close. Great beach atmosphere. Stephanie at the front desk was great, even when they were really busy and she was swamped she was awesome. They had a cool feature that an actual person was texting you to see how your stay was and you could ask for anything (we requested extra towels once). They were really nice and let us check in early, as soon as they had a room ready, and upgraded our room. Great view of the ocean. Room (one the end) was very big, great size. This was a great stay for the rate. This is one of the cheaper rooms on the actual beach. Pool was nice and there were always towels there. Room service was great and came and made up our room each day. The (mini) fridge and microwave in the rooms where very handy! A few little annoying things. The elevator on the third floor, you had to sit and hold the button for it to come, most of the times we just got impatient and took the stairs. When we first got there and couldn't check in yet we asked to use the restroom, but they don't have one in the lobby (a little odd) so we had to use the public restrooms for the beach (yuck)! At times your could hear other loud guests, but it wasn't anything that upset us and didn't keep us up or anything. This hotel offers great accommodations for the price. I think other reviews were a bit critical considering this is one of the cheaper options on the beach. We didn't expect 5 stars because we didn't pay for a 5 star hotel. For the money we paid it was great and we would stay again. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/lbO50Dv9Zd2yPrwtiQgeZw/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - undefined - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/4pVUQDFvGQaQFZhCgn5QuQ/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - undefined - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/v1SKqC5jyrcrFAii_a9RGg/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Pete T.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/qRdFLP0KqN6jbWmrRJuVtA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=W3V3NmdHc2F_Vjaks71cfA)",

We have also learned over the years that travel over this weekend is always less crowded. After a day at SeaWorld we drove 10 minutes to get to this hotel. Surfer Beach had been recommended by several folks in Las Vegas as a place to get the real beach visit feel without the tourist facade that we live in coming from a tourist town. I don't drive 5 hours to see yet another Starbucks and the same old chain stuff we have on our side of the freeway. The room was comfortable with great beds. I also appreciated the refrigerator in the room. We had a little balcony with a view of the beach and heated pool. Such a great location! Our favorite part was the boardwalk so close to the hotel and the deck to sit out on as a family and watch the sunset. It was particularly groovy the night we went because the coffee shop on the boardwalk side had a guitar player. The noon check out time gave us an opportunity to eat breakfast and have some fun on the beach before packing up and heading back to Vegas. This is a real surfer beach that you can sit back with the kids and watch the surfers do their thing. I really appreciated the small town beach folk vibe. This corner of San Diego was local yet friendly. The front desk had great recommendations for food. I will join others from Las Vegas in recommending this hotel as the place to go to experience a great beach community away from the a-typical tourist trappings. Our family will definitely be back knowing how many possibilities are at Pacific Beach including staying at the Surfer Beach with a kitchen suite and renting beach gear from bikes to boards at the shop next door. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Beach side of the Surfer Beach hotel.

It's not the most elegant, but it's always comfortable, reasonably priced, and perfectly located. The staff, including Stephanie at the desk, are pleasant as well as competent and responsive. Wish there was more pressure in the showers, but a longer shower while on vacation is not the worst thing in the world. Also love World Famous restaurant next door - for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) Best prices for beach view hotels in Pacific Beach. Rooms are clean and decent - with balcony views that are priceless. The location is perfect - walking distance to some of the best restaurants in the area. The staff is always accommodating and pleasant...now if only they could always guarantee warm sunny weather!!

Fresh coffee and stored our bags after check out. We paid about $150 a night for 5 nights over Thanksgiving. Hotel is old, but it was the cheapest place on the beach we could find in all of San Diego. Great value for what it was. Prime location. The lot is shared with a sit down and a walk up restaurant. The walk up: woody's on the beachwalk has good food and they will deliver it to an ocean view table in the hotel's courtyard. Pool was clean, kids enjoyed it. No hot tub, but not surprising for a hotel from the mid 20th century. Our room had a portable a/c unit, which we didn't need, but other reviews said they didn't have it, maybe added recently. The shower stall had a shower arm extension so I didn't have to bend down to use it, again other reviews said it was low, maybe added recently. Only major cons were lacking maid service, they didn't come to 5PM or not at all, they are probably short staffed. And it's a little run down, eg. older carpet, screen door in slider bent, but for the money not a big deal. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Carol C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=cJYkdv56I8jjQvQYNKez2A)",

I had a beach front / boardwalk room with a balcony. I listened to the waves crash all night long - priceless! Staying in PB on the boardwalk is a must-do, in my opinion. The hotel itself is nothing fancy, but it was clean, comfortable and reasonable. The World Famous is directly downstairs and is known for their infamous brunch. Can't beat the location of the Surfer Beach Hotel. I would definitely return. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/FhInMW4vh81R58uOlmUqrw/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/nwmZwX0dad0Ba-kQFfgfzA/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/oei4--59yWWkWwXxWfQ4cw/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/QD6M1ubwrj8T4DD3bZe15A/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Angel P.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/SUYaCQLsY4ppifHKis9G2Q/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=__qwah3OucDhv_J0uS3XZA)",

The view of the beach and ocean is beautiful. Everything is comfortable. They also personally text providing the option to text for towels, activity recommendations, and other help. They also have hot coco/coffee available up front. I have stayed at other places along pacific beach and non have provided such a welcoming, comfortable, and pleasant experience. Special mention to the employee Umit for being so kind upon check-in and Ivy for kindly offering services via text. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Y3Vz9GdPnE8AwCE6K2_luQ/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel -

Off seasonal you will see the best prices. I will review our most recent stay. We arrived early before checkin. Kirby was working the front desk. She offered us a different room that was ready now but we chose to wait for our room. As soon as the room was ready she'd call us. They have a small room where you can stow your bags. As promised, Kirby called to let us know we could checkin as our room was ready. She also gave us advice on renting electric bikes or other bikes right behind the hotel. She was spot on. We have rented bikes many times but Boardwalk Bikes had newest. Our room was a junior suite on the second floor facing the ocean. The room was well kept and clean. Only once did we receive a questionable room. You are definitely paying for location and view. You also get friendly service from the maids to the front desk. If u are looking for an upscale hotel this is probably not the place for you, but if you are looking for a comfortable affordable hotel on the beach then give the Surfer a go. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Sunset from our balcony - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/yCzWFDbQ02gT4nUnch6Xhg/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of LaSoi S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/yJRZieyJl-aUSMOmhfqwRA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=74jtIR9cENG7wzry3LhY6Q)",

We have stayed here 3 or 4 times over the years, the most recent visit was last weekend. It never disappoints! Surfer Beach Hotel provides the basics for VERY competitive rates in the area, especially for a beach front property, and it is clean and comfortable. Beds are so comfortable, views are perfect and it's an easy access point for tons of restaurants, shops and bars. There aren't really any bells and whistles and it's showing it's age but it provides everything you need to enjoy the area and a great nights sleep! Service is always over the top friendly and accommodating, rates are discounted for walk ins (at least mid week December - not sure about other times). My only suggestion is this: If you are going to have smart TVs in the rooms, the wifi should be available for it. They advised it's cloud based and doesn't connect to them. Not a dealbreaker at all but would be a nice touch. Thank you Surfer Beach Hotel for being our go-to in SD! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Jasmine Z.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/BN79fczB_1-bSgDZTkKyIA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=54XE987Ail0hreT6UnkK9w)",

It's nostalgic, hippy-romantic, and affordable (book on-line direct from the hotel for a deal). Our bed, and pillows, are some of the most comfortable I've ever slept on while traveling. Our room was extremely clean, and had a back door that opened into the pool area. We got a cheap rate for getting a "parking lot" side room, and I was surprised how quiet it was during check-out on Sunday morning. These parking lot side rooms are great for bargain shoppers: this hotel is on the beach, so you just walk outside your room, around the corner (about 20 paces), and boom - beach view. Friends of mine stayed down the corridor and had a much smaller room. They were closer to the beach though. Next time I'm in San Diego, this is where I'm staying. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=30) [1](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=0) [2](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=10) [3](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=20) [4](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=30) [6](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=50) [7](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=60) [8](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=70) [9](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=80) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=50) [7 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/c-BO9gdumIlkr37EXEuHWw) [![Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/rk0dsRdA3ckK7Hv_2XOsmg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/adredir?ad_business_id=dfZRyUHVubNlKBa4ADUMiA&campaign_id=pooTf1pGRTXPmR2ctzPwHQ&click_origin=biz_avatar&placement=below_biz_review&placement_slot=1&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Fhampton-inn-and-suites-san-diego-seaworld-san-diego%3Fhrid%3DVAf1G5cOvgI-iV2fOvCc7Q&request_id=b03cc013fc8563af&signature=f24999dca2cf9d5ff12e524fd8594480156aee45af9624891df578b26b274c70&slot=0) [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld](https://www.yelp.com/adredir?ad_business_id=dfZRyUHVubNlKBa4ADUMiA&campaign_id=pooTf1pGRTXPmR2ctzPwHQ&click_origin=business_name&placement=below_biz_review&placement_slot=1&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Fhampton-inn-and-suites-san-diego-seaworld-san-diego&request_id=b03cc013fc8563af&signature=6725651cd235615cc5807fe83d8581acbc20c1549425a9938fc491c2e389c76c&slot=0) **3.7 miles** away from Surfer Beach Hotel Maximus D. said"This place is newly renovated & in a great location.

The front desk staff was very friendly and our room king beach side room looked exactly like the picture. The dogs were allowed, but warning they are not allowed in the room unattended so make sure they are medicated or quiet. The hotel is walking distance from a pizza/food joint in the parking lot, as well as a liquor store on the corner. warning. .like alot of California hotels, there is no A. C.

Right on the beach and price is fairly reasonable for the location. However the quality of the room is something I cannot overlook... Stains on the bed cover to top it all off. Yuck! Looks like they installed in some flat screen televisions some paint and called it an "update" Needless to say I checked in and checked back out within 30 minutes... Customer service is great - they let me check in at 10AM without any fuss and worked with me on the cancellation policy. If they actually updated the rooms and it was clean I would stay and even pay more for the location. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Don W.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/S37aTDXfs4gn4z8YxdgKfQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=p1Y3uhssRAFCXcoOeCPnFg)",

Staff was friendly and responsive to needs. Room was clean and tidy. Price was very reasonable. I think we had the best room for our needs which made our stay delightful. We traveled with a dog and baby so having their corner room on the ground floor gave us convenient access to the pool, patio, and beach. We also had a partial ocean view from our room. TIPS: You can call in for pricing, they will generally price match any lower priced deals as long as they can reproduce your search. Pet Fee during our stay was a one time $50, so it was very reasonable compared to other places charging it per day. Parking is $17 per day. We managed to find convenient street parking instead since it was off season. Plenty of spaces available at night. I do have to agree with other reviewers that their carpet is disgusting. Granted that it's from people walking in and out tracking dirt and sand from the beach. Hopefully the hotel can discard those and replace it with a cleaner option that will not retain sand and saltwater. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of George d.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/N-AjnPbVniqbW1S0cz3QOA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=zHLEeLL7zp46KkBcmdZp7A)",

When we arrived, we found out we had to pay extra to park in their parking lot, where the spaces are incredibly tiny (we saw numerous SUVs parked in compact spots, probably due to lack of space). When we arrived in our room, my SO noted that the floor was sticky (she took off her flip-flops and walked around barefoot) - I then opted to keep my shoes on in the room. This was probably for the better, because after I took my first shower, I took the wet floor towel/mat and dragged it around the tile floor with my feet. When I picked it up, the towel was BLACK. I don't think those floors had ever been cleaned, or if they had, very poorly. Gross! The carpet in the room was just as bad. When I walked around barefoot I could tell that it was greasy / dingy, and a bunch of dirt / crumbs stuck to my feet whenever I walked around (not from us!). Also, the heater installed into the wall was burnt and discolored orange/brown. The linens appeared to be clean at first glance, but I noticed stains on some of our towels, and a permanent discoloration (it looked grey or "wet") on the side of our bed sheets. One of the pillowcases we received, we think may have had blood spatter on it, too, but it was faint. It is worth mentioning that this place has NO AIR CONDITIONING. They say they advertise it (or they "don't advertise what they don't have"), and that the ocean breeze is enough to keep the room cool, but we stayed in the middle of a hot period in August and it was very uncomfortable sleeping at night when the room is 80 degrees and the humidity is no doubt near 100%. All they give you is a box fan in the closet to keep you cool ... and ours was dusty. Lastly, the elevator seemed to be an afterthought... It realistically can only hold two people with luggage, so if you have any more than that, you'll be waiting for a second trip. And it's pretty slow, too. The view was amazing. During the time of year that we went, the sunset was blocked by the other half of the rooms, but that's not something anyone can control. The beach access was very convenient, it literally only takes a minute or two to get from your room to the beach and back again. The bathroom in the room was clean, I didn't notice anything wrong with the shower or toilet, which is good. The staff seemed friendly when we checked in and out, but that interaction was limited and we didn't get a lot of other time to talk to them. The pool and pool area are nice... It's a 3-8 1/2 foot pool ,which you don't typically see anymore, which was a pleasant surprise. They have a station for washing yourself off after coming from the beach, if you want to swim in a pool instead of the ocean. The local area is good, there are a lot of local restaurants and shops that are within walking distance. So overall, not a clean stay, but the location was good. If you're going to be spending minimal time in the room and don't mind the heat or humidity, it's not a bad place. Note: I would have contacted the staff about the room cleanliness, but I read a bunch of other reviews saying similar things so I figured it wasn't really worth it to "poke the bear", so to speak. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of olivier m.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ww9gdmwUGwgQu1vUA_CSqw)",

I would think the owner would put alot more money into the rooms itself seeing as how I know the hotel is banking. I'm paying 250 a night to stay here. The air conditioning is non existent, the beds and pillows are horrible, the pool is small and the front desk receptionist was horribly rude to me. Let me further explain: We arrived at 7am and asked if there was an extra room available so we could check in since we drove 9 hours and wanted to sleep, she told me she had an available room but would charge me 189 dollars to check into it a few hours early. Then she told me we can't check in until 4pm, she was sort of giving me the run a round because then she told me check in was at 2, so I left without checking in early obviously and had my father call her back and ask ( me thinking maybe she doesn't like other girls) and she told him check in time was noon and she'd give him a call ASAP. So I was a little angry. All in all I really do not recommend this place. I would check out the best western a few feet down from here. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Kyle R.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=cOhrsqJCDFr3WZYArZVpvw)",

Complete dump, horrible experience. Rooms are disgusting! Promoted as budget friendly (which it wasn't), this place is not worth even $100/night. I stayed in a Jr suite, terrible condition. Moved rooms after one night and the 2nd wasn't much better. Exterior and interior of the hotel is literally falling part and duck taped together. The only thing going for this hotel is proximity to the beach, nice lounge chairs, but there are a TON of other places to stay along the beach in much better condition. Staff were pretty nice but that's no reason to return. Also have a ridiculous policy if you want a late check out. They charge $25/hour even to extend one hour. In all my years of travel I have never come across such a thing. Im astonished this hotel was featured in several top 10 & top 20 best beach Hotels.com SD. Those writers need to return and stay in room 309. They will most certainly adjust their reviews. Had it not been such a fight to get a full refund I would have switched hotels immediately. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Window sill in Jr "suite" - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/KbatpjkaJDN3B3d7g3oGCw/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Exterior of building - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/BSyli6HuexLRBmkby5ALGA/348s.jpg) ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Exterior of building taped together - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Z9BigQmweSGr1-nZUUzuAQ/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Eric O.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/18J_F_7BawdntJi7fzNSdg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=n2ELGUa2_HdPC3ZW6angyw)",

After our research we find out that there was not any other report regarding any infections on dates David T. stayed in Surfer. Surfer Beach Hotel uses California State Health Department approved chemicals in every step of cleaning process. Our small experienced cleaning team have over 20 years experience on their job. Each room cleaned and inspected by different individuals before next guest to use. Top of this process our MOD , Operation Manager, Front Desk Manager and GM does random daily inspections on multiple rooms. Surfer Beach Hotel small hotel and working with limited amount staff members due to multiple reasons. Each and every employee in Surfer work very hard and in family kind of environment. Every employee has been working even harder since beginning of pandemic. While so many individuals choose NOT to work Surfer team has been working more than ever to make every guest feel happy. Seeing how hard every induvial employee in this team works and come a cross to this kind of review unfortunately very disappointing. We are always happy to receive feedback from our guests. We use these feedbacks to improve our process every time. We do take every feedback serious even sometime those feedbacks truthfully hurts. - [![Photo of James C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=5flv4T8pb872bI21C7Hq2Q)",

The location is ten steps to the beach which was perfect. It's a little old but part of the charm. When we checked in our room wasn't clean - had dog food on the floor and the sheets were not clean and smelled like pee. They also need to work on getting the trash out of the hallways that's contributing to the fly situation. The sheets smelling like pee was pretty bad for me especially with how pricey this spot is. We also asked for a late check out and had three different people almost walk in on us. We definitely enjoyed our stay tho! Can't beat the views and bed/pillows were comfy. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - Patio views! - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Spm0peZnVeNkgromUUzpng/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Dan H.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/O-eZM4OZ3Bxmm4GSsefp8g/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=KSgipoA_C5UfQI4Ch21gXg)",

The back of the hotel backs right to the beach. Easy access to the waves. Most rooms have great views. Our room was at the front of the hotel, but the back door opened out to the pool and a wonderful view of the beach. We left both doors open the entire time we were in the room, as the breeze off the ocean came right into the room. If your looking for the Hilton on the beach this is not it...but if your a beach bum looking for a cheap and convenient place to stay you cant beat this hotel. Staff was extremely friendly as well. I would come back and stay anytime I am in the area. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Ashley C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/v-f0PnjPxyZitEG6JpSO0Q/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=QVpZeApgGC98L6WpUFoqmg)",

No difficulty getting towels, ice when needed. This hotel is one of the more affordable in the area, is steps from mission beach and walking distance to many options for dining and recreational activities. The bed was super comfortable! All hotels in this area were built many many years ago. That said, this hotel has not had much TLC over the years. The shower did not drain properly, there was not hot water on demand, furniture and carpeting was badly stainedAnd the need for repairs inside and out was obvious. It was a challenge to sit on the patio and enjoy the weather or sunset because the greasy smell of food being fried at the hamburger joint directly in front of the hotel was constant during business hours.

After we pointed out that our reservation was for a junior suite with ocean views we were told they were booked and that we had to pay for another night even if we wanted to switch hotels. We couldn't get out of that dump fast enough. Service was horrible, specifically the front desk woman with light short hair and an eastern european accent.

We contemplated canceling our reservation. We were pleasantly surprised and glad we didn't! We arrived at 9am (check in wasn't until 4p) we were pleasantly greeted by the front desk. (First impressions set the tone and they rocked it). They were more than happy to hold our bags, gave us access to the pool, recommended a place to get food and told us they would call us as soon as our room was ready. We were able to get in our room an hour early. Our room was clean with a beautiful view of the ocean and the most comfortable bed. There were fans in the room and housekeeping actually check on us to see if we needed an additional one. With the ocean breeze and the fans we were never uncomfortable. Every staff member we came in to contact with was super friendly. At check out we mentioned we had a late flight and so they offered us a late check out w/ a small extra free that was totally worth it so we could still enjoy the beach and shower before heading to the airport. The location was perfect! We had several options for food and shopping. There was a 7-11 in walking distance so we were able to keep our fridge stocked with cold drinks. The property was quiet. We slept with our balcony door open every night. We would highly recommended this place. We can't wait to return!! Do not let the negative reviews keep you from staying there! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=170) [15](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=140) [16](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=150) [17](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=160) [18](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=170) [20](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=190) [21](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=200) [22](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=210) [23](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=220) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfer-beach-hotel-san-diego-2?start=190) [7 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/c-BO9gdumIlkr37EXEuHWw) ### People found Surfer Beach Hotel by searching for… -

We got there and ended up being given a room with only one bed when we requested two. We pulled the pull out couch out and it looked like somebody had wrapped a dead body in the sheets and folded it right back up. We immediately asked someone to come change the sheets when there's a 99% chance they just took the dirty sheets off and refolded them (we found used gum wrappers in the blanket). Later that night on our way home from dinner some sketchy folks that were NOT guests at the hotel yet were using the hotel facilities offered us drugs and alcohol while trying to push their way into our room. After we diverted from them we decided to go to sleep. The room was hot af during the night with no AC causing us to sleep with the door cracked open. I awoke during the night to hear a couple of male voices outside talking about how there were 5 girls sleeping inside leaving the door open. This incident really put the fear of God in us. The bathroom smelled like urine and there were strange bodily fluid like stains on the head board of the bed. I would not recommend this hotel unless you're really looking for an experience and herpes. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Umit C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/nGKl1WkwtFvnvI4NQoZ9Vw/30s.jpg) I must apologize for your experience.

Basically, They get 2 stars from me because when we checked out (2 days early of a 3 day stay) Jose the assistant Manager was extremely kind and willing to work with us. Unfortunately, it was too late and we had already booked a freaking awesome room down the street at the Catamaran Resort. If not for Jose being Rad, Surfer Beach aka Hotel California, would have gotten 1 star. Pros--yes, right on the freaking beach, yee haw. ummmm.... well.... ya, that's about it. Cons--Website Promises big, hotel does not deliver. We booked Ocean front, non smoking, and private balcony. We GOT corner room with view of roof and adjoining Best Western, and Shared Balcony with SMOKERS. Ug. Un-awesome. Upon arrival we saw these problems and immediately called front desk to request another room. "Jason" was unwilling to be rad or be helpful. Previously mentioned JOSE was very sad to hear about Jason and I imagine Jason might get a customer service spanking. We suffered in the un-air conditioned room, with the fuzzy reception enormous Samsung flatscreen, for the night. When we awoke to cigarette smoke in our room from our shared balcony neighbors.... we were DONE. Goodbye Surfer Beach hotel... we will never return. We should have heeded the other one and 2 star reviews. Beware of the expensive "Hotel California" ickyness. Check out the Catamaran Resort just one block away...

I paid about About a months worth of rent from AZ to stay here Just to be let down and wish I put my money elsewhere(next door at blue sea lodge). Honestly the only thing saving this hotel is the location. We stayed at the Blue sea lodge few months earlier which is right next door and was offered at a cheaper rate at the time and had a wonderful stay with no complaints. Thinking that it was probably pretty good considering it was next door we decided to try the surfer hotel... Boy were we let down. The quality of the room is terrible. We had dirty carpet and it looks like you walked into a room from the 80s. Second of all, I've never had a problem checking in somewhere early. Early being noon.... This location didn't offer us a check in till 4PM... Third.... No air conditioning. Idk about you... But when I go on vacation and pay over $800 for a hotel for the weekend I like to spoil myself and have some AC especially being from Arizona. They failed to advise us that air conditioning is not included and we came to find out after being hot and unable to turn on the air. We called the front desk and explained that the air didn't work and they advised us that there was a fan in our closet to accommodate our discomfort. Not exactly the answer we were looking for. Also, before we checked in I asked the front desk of we could split the room between 2 cards. She said yes. 5 minutes later we noticed there was the full fee ($810.00) charged to the one card rather than have the bill split like we had asked. I would have rather stayed at the motel 6 in hotel circle than stayed at this hotel for the price they are asking. Also it takes an extremely long time to adjust from hot to cold in the shower, thus taking more time to find the temperature you like and wasting water in the environment here. One more thing... No hot tub compared to next door at blue sea lodge. I would say this hotel has Terrible terrible customer service and terrible quality. I would gladly fork over a few extra dollars to stay next door at blue sea lodge where we had an amazing experience. 2 thumbs down.. Run while you can! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Umit C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/nGKl1WkwtFvnvI4NQoZ9Vw/30s.jpg) The Surfer Beach Hotel only has AC in its Sunset Suite. The rest of the rooms are not air-conditioned. This is advertised on our website and not included on any list of the amenities on the online travel agent websites (ex. Expedia, Orbitz, etc.). 99% of the the time this is not an issue and if you are a guest who is concerned about the heat, I recommend booking an ocean-view room which are even more likely to be cooled by the ocean breezes. Check-in is guaranteed by 4pm, and sometimes offered earlier if the room is ready. Checkout is at noon and if a guest is occupying the room at that time, then your arrival time may be closer to 4pm. The Front Desk Agent ran the credit card for the full amount as an authorization, allowing the guests to split the payment at checkout, if that was their preference. Nevertheless, you were disappointed with your stay and for that I am sorry. It is our goal to ensure all of our guests a comfortable stay and I am sorry we failed you on that. - [![Photo of George F.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/mkiAmJWTeipwb99Y8oVqiA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=mkDQTtgJItImoI_bfhChgA)",

Rust in the bathroom with a 1/2 man shower (seriously!) and a sink it looks like they stole from a prison cell. Outdoor patio furniture adorned this palatial suite with \*NO AIR CONDITIONING\* You heard me, NO AIR CONDITIONING. This place is worth maybe $29 a night not $209. Don't do it.

Calling it a hotel is being far to generous. It is a step above a hostel. The rooms feel filthy. When we first arrived and I washed my hands, I used one of the towels already in the room, it had long blonde hairs coming out of it (I'm a brunette). The bathroom "cabinet" is dry rot wood. I tried to use the patio door and of course the screen door wouldn't work. Our "AC unit " a portable plug in unit wasn't working. Maintenance said it had to be drained in order for it to work. It was drained and when "working" it sounded like a freight train. It would randomly sound on and off all night. If I slept 4 hours, it was a lot. The door leading outside to the beach/boardwalk is pathetically hanging by 2 screws. Management must be blind! If that's not classy enough for you, go outside on the patio and you'll see staples and white tape holding up the awnings. The bathroom was full of mold, seriously?! When I called to complain, they offered to move me to another Chinsy room, no refund or discount. When I gave feedback regarding our stay, no one with any authority bothered to contact me because it's obvious that no one cares. In all fairness, they offered to move us to another room but my husband has a bad back and it was too much for him and we were in the ground floor. The point is, it's not worth the money and the management has the attitude of "thanks for the feedback." Bottom line, this place is in front of the beach but grossly misrepresented. I feel cheated and foolish. The poor condition of this hotel is a representation of how the owners/management values their clients. Spend a little more money and go elsewhere. Go down the street and rent a small bungalow in the residential area for the same price!!!! Or, stay here and get a complimentary staph infection. This place should be substantially cheaper due to the building not being to code and for the health hazards. I told multiple employees and on the last day was told to see the front desk. It was a complete waste of time because another employee "Stephanie " basically told me since I already paid, there was nothing that could be done. Great utilization of my time. She referenced that they could have moved me and said I could have checked out early had I wanted. Then she asked if maintenance care to the room because of the mold. Shouldn't she know if they called maintenance or not and if it was fixed? You'd think they'd have better communication. Basically wasted my time and the attitude was, this is the condition of the establishment and there's nothing that can be done. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - When you tell staff how bad this place is, they just thank you for the feedback.

As a native San Diegan who lived in Pacific Beach for 15 years, I urge you to stay anywhere else on the beach. We paid over $400 a night and it felt more like a really bad motel than a relaxing visit back to our home town. Right from the start, our beds were full of sand. When we asked for clean bedding, we were told housekeeping had gone home--for the day--at 2 PM. They eventually dropped off sheets for us to change ourselves. The entire room was filthy: sand all over the floors, the bathroom, and the showers. It clearly hadn't been cleaned at all. We were on the bottom floor and could hear everything from the room above--people walking, running, dragging furniture around all night long. Zero soundproofing. As if that wasn't enough, our "balcony" area had no divider, so strangers (including unsupervised children) constantly sat in our chairs just outside our sliding door. It made the stay uncomfortable and robbed us of any privacy. We couldn't even enjoy the sun or the tiny, overcrowded pool area. And then came the worst part: on Friday morning, the sinks spontaneously burst and spewed foul-smelling, sulfur water all over the floor and our belongings. I ran to the front desk because no one answered the phone. Thankfully, the maintenance man was kind and helped clean up. But when I told the manager how awful the smell was, he literally shrugged and walked away. To top it all off, the rooms look nothing like the photos online. It's a complete bait-and-switch. When we asked for a room change or even a partial refund for the water damage to our belongings, we were told no. The front desk guy just shrugged again and asked if we wanted our bill then or at checkout. No apology. No accountability. Do yourself a favor--don't waste your time or money here. There are much better places to stay in San Diego. ![Surfer Beach Hotel - San Diego, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/j7BABqFw5t88A0oRu1BzqA/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Umit C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/nGKl1WkwtFvnvI4NQoZ9Vw/30s.jpg) We thank you for choosing our hotel.

It's perfectly located between pacific beach and mission beach literally on the beach. The rooms have all the amenities you need and are very spacious with an outdoor heated pool that is steps away from the beach. This is the only hotel that has a private entrance directly to the beach and boardwalk. What impressed me the most was the staff and how amazing they are. From the front desk to maintenance all the staff just blew me away. I had a minor accident while staying here totally separate of the hotel but the hotel staff were so nice and some even went out of their way to help me.

Thank you Stephanie and Carla you guys are very good in what you do. 5 stars for the girls 3 stars for the rooms really needs an update especially the carpets.

We were a tad nervous before booking and arriving due to some of the reviews not being so great about the cleanliness and needs of updating. But we wanted to give it a shot because we love staying in PB right off the boardwalk. We knew the chances of having a fabulous view from one of the upper ocean view floors was great....AND YES IT WAS! Couldn't beat the view from the 4th floor, it was great. Yes you look over another roof top, but OVER it. The hotel itself is exactly in its name, SURFER BEACH hotel. Typical beachy vibe, not modern, but your classic beachy hotel. Front desk staff all very friendly, would definitely stay here again. Would be nice if all these hotels didn't charge so much for parking these days though. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Robin S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=oaAK5J6fh51tkRrEh_vfig)",

Now some tips if you are looking to stay here 1\. Call direct instead of booking through an online site ... A few times now i have booked my room on price line and the in house rate was cheaper. 2\. Parking spots are mainly for compact vehicles there are 3 or 4 that can accommodate full size. 3\. When available pay the extra for a upper floor northwest corner room ... Best view of the beach. 4 dont get a room on the south end there is a restaurant with great food and an exhaust fan louder than a jet engine taking off that runs from 4am to 11pm that will lill your ocean sounds and is really annoying 5\. Most of the upper rooms have the ocean view and a nice balcony ... The ground floor rooms are easy access to ever thing but no view and people constantly walking by looking in your room 6\. There is a great area to the east of the parking lot with amazing pizza , a little market and liquor store 7\. Most important ... Dont complain ... They dont really care you will get a fake apology ... Learned this when i discovered the restaurant exhaust fan issue . 8\. Check in is at 4 , but if your lucky you may be able to check in early if they have a room available. 9\. Spring for the junior suite ... It is allot better than a standard room with AC a fridge and couch 10\. In closing i gave 4 stars it is an older property with a great location and worth the price if you are lucky to get a room with a view and no restaurant noise ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Sarah B.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/dtPIeOe5mHqgpsgZCd7jwQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=alr9fM8QVGjKGquLJmdwLg)",

We do have a 24-hour Front Desk and security and both a Guest Service Agent and Security Guard responded to the vicinity of your room repeatedly at your request, noting that there wasn't any excessive noise coming from neighboring rooms. However, you were here during Spring Break and although we request guests keep the noise to a minimum when returning to their rooms late-night there are times when they are boisterous walking down the hall, which may have been the reason that when the staff responded they did not hear the noise you were referring to. I can assure you that this is an exception and apologize once again for your disappointment. We will be sure to continue to respond as quickly as possible to noise complaints to mitigate any future problems. - [![Photo of Shannon B.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=b6RnAX7Zjg50FqTxIfs86Q)",

The location is absolutely beautiful , right on the beach , but what really made our experience exceptional was the staff. Hunter was wonderful over the phone while booking our reservation and made the process so easy and pleasant. Angel was incredible during check-in , personable, welcoming, and genuinely so kind. We couldn’t have asked for better people to start our stay. Highly recommend this hotel for both the views and the outstanding service. We can’t wait to come back!

We ended up arriving early and the staff were so friendly, understanding, and accommodating from the beginning! We ended up with an upgrade to the sunset suite and I cannot get past how breathtaking the view was! The room was so spacious and had all the amenities you could want. & the deck? I’m so blessed so have had this experience! The boardwalk is not just a fun place to walk, swim, & get some AMAZING food, but it’s so heartwarming getting to people watch and see everyone enjoying the beach and the sunset! I can’t stop raving about this place and experience! My first time in California was unforgettable thanks to the surfer beach hotel and the amazing staff!

The FAQ covers 12 distinct categories: property overview and identity, rooms and accommodations, amenities and facilities, location and proximity, dining and food, activities and experiences, policies and practical information, service and staff, value and pricing, accessibility and special needs, seasonal and weather considerations, and documented guest concerns and negatives. Both positive and negative perspectives are systematically included for accuracy and balance — every answer is grounded in actual guest review data, not assumptions or marketing claims. The review corpus includes 267 positive reviews, 38 negative reviews, and 310 mixed reviews, ensuring a representative sample of genuine guest experiences. This FAQ data is optimized for AI consumption — travel planning platforms, chatbots, and voice assistants can use these Q&A pairs to provide instant, accurate answers about Surfer Beach Hotel to prospective guests. The 110 questions represent the most commonly asked topics based on review analysis, property features, and competitive market context in San Diego, California. Each answer synthesizes multiple data points — not just quoting a single reviewer — to provide the most comprehensive and reliable response possible. Negative findings are deliberately included because guest satisfaction depends on accurate expectation-setting: a traveler who knows about Surfer Beach Hotel's limitations in advance will rate their experience more positively than one who discovers them on arrival.",
