TV did not work. Let our "concierge" know. Said they would come right away. Guess they came while we were gone at wedding. TV was not fixed and no communication. Very disappointed. Would expect more for the price paid.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Surfbreak Hotel! Julie at the reception was so sweet and welcoming — she answered all my questions and made the check-in process easy. The room was very clean and nicely decorated, with cute little plants here and there, and the Roku TV made it feel even cozier. I also loved the thoughtful touches like the lotion and makeup remover provided. The shower had great water pressure, and the bed was super comfortable. Overall, the hotel and service exceeded my expectations. It’s in a great location — close to shops, coffee spots, restaurants, and just a four-minute drive to the beach!

My husband and I stayed at the Surbreak about 4 years ago and thought it was so cute and in a great location. I'm disappointed to say that returning this time, we found it's gone down hill. Overall, the room felt a bit dingy and neglected: bits of dust and hair in the corners, as well as a false eyelash on the floor, no hand towels, and the sink smelled like sewer. In the middle of the night we awoke to a loud bang and found the shower curtain had completely fallen down. The cleaning and property care could use some attention.

Drawers were very dusty.. we hung up some clothes and left the rest in our luggage bag. Bed was very uncomfortable... sagged towards the middle. WIFI was horrible. Noise from freeway was too much. Havinh noone at the front desk most of the time was very impersonal and the nymber they give you to call... no one answers.
