I have stayed here twice now and love it every time. The rooms are updated & have new appliances and furniture. Great location right across from Del Mar and El Camino Real with shopping and dining. Modern beach feel and decor, super comfortable, and AFFORDABLE. Only complaint I had with my most recent stay is that the TV in our room was very laggy and slow. Other than that everything was perfect

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.

It was a pretty nice stay, quiet a laid back, it’s small so not a lot of people and the owners were very adamant on helping in any way they could. Giving ideas for places to go, places for food, and even offering surf boards you can rent.
