Never again, The Surf Motel

The keycard to my room never fully worked the deadbolt was missing male part which didn’t make me feel secure in the least especially the last night I was there, after packing I went down to the management to make sure I was squared away prior to checking out and some guy met me at my door asking if he could use an outlet to charge his phone, I asked why he did charge in his room, he said he wasn’t staying there, he hovered a bit so I walked away and didn’t come back to my door til he was gone, and of there are no phones in the rooms so I had to google the motel to get the number to report the weirdo walking round on the third floor. The graveyard manager was great as was the evening manager it was the daytime manager that made me so frustrated. He kept asking me for my cards to xerox them at one point he almost had me convinced that part of my bill hadn’t been paid which was annoying but once I spoke to my credit card co., they assured me that they had been paid. I really did not need that headache! Oh all the cleaning staff were awesome.

You get what you paid for. Location wise is amazing. Short drive to almost all of the tourist spots. Clean but outdated, and a lot of minor fixes needed, at least in the room that we got. Lots for restaurants in the area that are walking distance from the motel.

You can do better

The room was clean but it feels very old and in need of a makeover. If you’re thinking of going to SF and this is the only place you can afford, don’t go! Wait, save your money and stay somewhere better!!

Get what you pay for

Very difficult to get into the room, you need to swipe the card about 20 times before one works, then really throw your shoulder into it to get the door to open. Apparently that’s a problem already because the door was dented and bent from everyone doing it. Very strong bleach smell in the room. No hand soap in bathroom. Thin and very old pillows. Beds were comfortable enough otherwise. Only booked this because nothing else in the area was available, but won’t ever stay again.
