Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was filthy, towels had stains, hair and lint on the floor, bedding had stains, door knobs and doors had stains, shower curtains had stains. Staff was not the friendliest very stale interactions. Only good thing was the location in the marina. I should have dished out the extra $20-30 bucks to stay in a nicer place.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The best thing going for this property was the safe, convenient parking. Though clean as far as I could tell, the place is pretty bare bones and on the tired, run down side. The pillows were flat, lifeless pancakes. The mattress was in need of replacing. The cords were cut in the place where the hair dryer should be and it appeared the hair dryer may have been stolen at one time. Fixtures around the room showed some significant rust. Just a poor old property that’s seen better days.

Disliked: Amenities
Linens and room were clean but run down. Rust on lamps, bathroom door had loose hinges so didn’t close well, room door needed weather stripping so light and air came in. There was very minimal parking that was first come, first serve. We were able to get a spot but definitely don’t count on it. The area was fine, easy to get the bus to destinations, very walkable.

I drove from San Diego to San Francisco after booking a ADA room at this hotel. I drove 10 hours and when I got there they didn’t have a room that would accommodate my wife. She is the reason I asked for an ADA room because she is a right leg amputee and travels with an electric scooter! I was so angry because I contacted Expedia and they were not able to help me either. The hotel refunded my deposit but I had to book a different room at the last minute and paid $300 more for that room. If you book a room at Surf Motel call them and speak to someone to make sure you get the too you ask for.

There is a good opportunity for The Surf Motel to be a diamond in the rough, but it needs a serious deep clean: walls, corners, ceilings, etc! I can tell the housekeepers clean as there was a strong odor of bleach in the room. B there is more to cleanliness than smelling bleach. Jay, the front office representative was very helpful, and wonderful to do business with!
