Labor Day Weekend Stay

My stay at the Surfbreak Hotel was great. The room was air conditioned, very clean and everything worked as it should have. The bed and bedding was extremely comfortable. The staff was extremely nice and always available if needed. It is located close to a lot of shops and places to eat and just minutes from the pier and the beach. I was on the third floor and could see the ocean from the front balconies of the hotel. All in all I had a great experience at this hotel and would recommend it to anyone else that asks me where to stay in southern California near the beach.

Last minute overnight

Cute little hotel. Very clean close to food and beach! It’s right by the freeway and on a busy street so it’s kind of loud. But, other then that great place!

4/10 Fair

Not so good the checkin

Just troubles to get the check in, first they send the code for the room and saying the room is ready so the code never works then when I ask about they just reply : checkin until 4pm even when the room was ready and clean then I come back at 8:30pm and code still doesn’t work so finally they send a new code and it works
Alfonso, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty and stained towels

This room smelled heavily of Clorox for the first day and the thin gross towels were completely stained. Unbelievable. It was dirty and loud due to highway noise. Don’t stay here.

Cute hotel that was perfect for our stay.

Problem with parking

I like the hotel, but the problem i had was parking. If the parking spaces are full you will be out of luck. You will have to find parking somewhere else and risk a chance your car might get tow. Also there were molds near the tub. the tv in my room wasn't working properly. You can hear it but no pictures

Waitong for the response

Everything's was good put Saturday night the lights went out till the next day No Ac all night long and the deposito is still not received back to my card? How long dose it take?
Maria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was able to get the room for a very good price so I was nervous that it would be kind of crappy and rundown but it was just the opposite. The room was very clean, spacious, and renovations were recently done which definitely gave it a newer, more modern feel. It was an ocean-facing room, but still quiet at night and really closeby to the SC pier/downtown SC, near lots of shops and restaurants which was very nice! Overall, very cute and cozy place and I liked that there were no overnight fee/incidentals (unless you happen to damage the room). The only thing I didn’t really like was that after 5/6 PM there is no one at the front desk office to help you out with anything.
Madison, 1-night trip

Patricia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good hotel with no people manning the office.

The location of the hotel is very good. The hotel is clean and roomy. The hotel seems to be operated on minimum manpower. We never saw a person in the front desk, both check in and check out. We wanted to get some information, but with no person attending, we had to give up.
