Our experience at Surf City Inn was good overall and I definitely think it's worth the price for a stay. I'll go through my fair and sincere pros and cons in hopes that it'll be helpful. Pros: - Walking distance to Sunset Beach, which was quiet, beautiful and not at all busy. At certain times of day, you can see dolphins swimming 20-30ft from the shore! - Loved the food and drink options nearby (especially Tacos Surf, Himalayan Grill and Luv Collective café!) - Very reasonable price - Right on the Pacific Coast Highway, with nearby OC Transit bus stops that can take you to Huntington Beach or Long Beach - Microwave and mini fridge right in the room - Let us check in early at no extra cost Cons: - The inn is a bit old and showing its age. The rooms were clearly recently renovated, but because it's not a recently built building, noise carries pretty easily. You can hear footsteps above you and voices from other rooms, especially if they're speaking loudly - We found multiple black hairs near our pillows and under the covers when we first showed up—I'm blonde and my partner has short brown hair, so these very much weren't ours - Smoke alarm goes off easily from the steam of a shower That said, we loved being able to stay so close to the coast for a very reasonable price. We weren't looking for luxury anyway!

I was extremely pleased staying here. I got a text that I was able to check in way earlier than the listed check in time which we appreciated greatly! Bed is extremely comfy, the area has lots of restaurants and close to the beach which is what we went for. Will come back here.

Family vacation
Clean and spacious. Worked well for my family (me, wife, toddler) and staff was very friendly and easy for check in & out. The only thing I would recommend would be changing the shower system with rain shower head. I am a tall guy, and it was very hard to rinse off. No complaints otherwise!

Good Location and Room Noisy Challenging Parking
We read of the site that the office was open until midnight. We had a late flight as we were flying from a return trip to the east coast. However, it closed at 10 PM. The front desk fortunately worked with me to check in earlier, and I used the office phone to call for the key. The rooms are quite comfortable, even though very basic. There is a refrigerator, small microwave and a hair dryer in the room. There are dispensers for conditioner, lotion, shampoo and hand soap. You may need to call only for towels and if the steam from the bathroom sets the smoke detector off, like during our stay. The location is better than I first thought when I arrived. You CANNOT see the ocean from the hotel. There are rows of houses in front of your view. However, if you brave the walk to the light so the south, with no sidewalk, there is a cute little Mexican Restaurant, an entrance to the beach, and a cool water tower house / B&B. The room is not quite, especially after 7 AM. I heard the cleaning staff and others too easily. Especially after a long night on Friday at Haunted Horror Night in Hollywood. One very unpleasant thing is the smallest parking spaces in the open covered parking (under the hotel). It was a nightmare squeezing into the last real space Friday night.

Hotel was reasonably priced in a convenient location. The stairs were a bit steep, especially for taking luggage up. Overall it was a good place to stay short term.
