What a shame that surface stuff makes so much difference to some people.  This is a 2 star motel!  It doesn't claim to have fluffy towels or bottles of shampoo.  Sure. You can go to the Commodore if you want to get 1 night for the price of 2 at Surf. There is always free parking somewhere close, your balcony looks out over the ocean,  the beds are super comfortable, the place is clean, and the owners are indulgent. The area is friendly and across the street from the beach.  Don't worry about the hall carpets! My family will all be back. 

Get way more than you pay for. 😊

Yes, 2/3 Stars... bring your own toiletries. Clean showers and clean beds. Location is perfect— walk across the street to beach. No parking fees. We stayed in 6 and 7, so the bright lights from JIB.. but I was so waterlogged so slept peacefully and quiet. AC worked extremely well. The staff was nice and helpful. We used the hose by the plants to rinse off and they gave two extra shower towels, when we asked. We were not looking for fancy accommodations— just somewhere to sleep and shower w/ 4 Teens. Fridges in room, too so ez for cereal and milk for breakfast. 
Quick getaway for Labor Day wkd and very affordable!

Simple, Clean Beds and Showers

Room are to expensive  for the condition that they are in. Not very clean. Owner and staff are very rude considering they aren't  citizens of the US. You have to go ask for clean linens or toilet paper  only  to be treated  with condensing attitude & disrespect.

Surf and residency hotel are horrible. Rude owners  and staff.  Not clean  hotels, customers  have to go to front  desk

I had a reservation, but, after arriving and seeing what they call a hotel, I didn't even check in.  There was no where to park was the first problem, street parking only.  I also used Booking.com.  Ii lost my money for not staying there and had to go to another hotel and pay more money.  This place needs to be taken off all websites.  It is not a place for families, couples or 2 women traveling alone.

Surf Hotel

Friend used Booking dot com to get a room.   Arrived at motel, no one in the lobby.  Outside is bad, bad, bad.  The ceiling of the lobby was falling in.  No one came up front, even after ringing the phone. Almost an hour later, still no one came to the front.  BdotC agent even tried to contact them.  Cancelled that and went down the street to a better (and of course more expensive) motel.  In this case, the rooms were el-cheapo and the service worse.  STILL never saw a clerk nor did anyone answer the phone after several attempts and better than an hour and a half of attempts.

Not ever again

pictures online look pretty good but place doesn't look like pics.  Some of the windows are actually boarded up, very rundown, scarey looking place, if you drive by and look at place, I don't think you will want to stay there

aweful

Crusty sheets with hair in it.  No shampoo or other amenities included.  Advertised as breakfast - the breakfast was Folger's coffee, nothing else.  The towels were thread bare and had holes in them. The microwave was filthy with food still in it.  The "king" size bed was actually a queen size turned sideways.  The window wouldn't stay closed. No bed bugs, air conditioning worked.  Overall really really awful.  Also a lot of homeless people hanging around.  The taxi driver tried to talk us out of staying there, but the was no other place available at the last minute.
