Price was cheapest thing we could find. Motel room. Bring a sleep mask. Too much light through bathroom windows. Window above bed had no curtains or blinds. Streetlight right across from our window. Shower water never got hot. Just warm. For midwinter, last minute, it was fine for a night.
My wife & I had a great wknd! The Surf Club is located in perfect area downtown, close to boardwalk & beach also restaurants..loved it! Room was nicely appointed.
Hope to hit it again!
We absolutely loved the room. We spend a lot of time exclusively in OC and of all the places we have stayed at this was by far the best in every way!!!
We are due to come back down for a long weekend starting July 18 and we are very much hoping our room there will be available. That is how much we loved it.
Room was bare bonesâŠhuge tv - great if youâre into streamingâŠno chairs. No place to sit! Bed was extremely comfortable.
Great locationâŠcould ask if folks want lower floor. Seniors with bags would appreciate it.
Room was clean and cool, nicely appointed and close to the beach and boardwalk. Only negative was the parking issue. I received a message that my parking pass would be in the room but also a conflicting message that parking isnât offered or arranged for guests. Very inconvenient as had I known this, I probably would have looked for other accommodations.
Great location (block from the beach and boardwalk) and not a bad place if you're just looking for a bed to sleep in. The room was clean and the bathroom was pretty nice. But I've stayed in "invisible" and "concierge-less" hotels before and this one was pretty middling. The guest platform they use was not functioning well and it took hours to get a text back, which was often just a canned response or completely unrelated to the question asked. I thought maybe I was talking to an AI for awhile but then I'd also get really short, unhelpful responses to basic questions that I had to ask several times.
The price is also not differentiated enough from a regular hotel to fail to provide basic hotel amenities like an ice bucket or a bed that wasn't from IKEA.
It was fine.
My wife and I enjoyed our mini-vacation anniversary getaway at The Surf! Although it was self-service, they were available by phone to resend my code. We definitely would stay again, and if I had to make one suggestion, it would be a stronger WiFi because we were not able to watch tv without frequent buffering. Other than that, we definitely enjoyed ourselves.
