Great location and price. Rooms are clean and the view from ours was lovely. Lobby is kinda grubby and the staff attitude was inconsistent (one was very nice, two others acted like we were an annoying inconvenience) but it didnt sour our trip. We will definately come back.

Vintage Hotel with Top Notch Beach Access

The Surfer Beach Hotel is older and shows its age quite a bit, however you can't find a better location for the price. The service was amazing. If we needed anything at all, they were prompt to respond and very friendly.
