Stayed at Surfer Beach last week and it was really great - it's right on the beach and in a really busy part of San Diego. It was my first time in San Diego and Pacific Beach where the hotel is has lots to do. The hotel has external access to the room, with all the rooms facing towards the... more

Stayed for 2 nights with husband and children, and my parents stayed also in their own room. I made it clear in reservations that we were traveling together, but when I checked in they had us on 2 different floors and could not give us rooms closer together. The front desk lacked much customer service most of our stay. The... more

Great location, average accommodations. I stayed there with my husband and my 2 kids (3 years old and 3 months old). Hotel was on the beach with direct access to the beach from the back stairways-this feature was AWESOME. Room was average. Clean but a bit run-down. The noise I've read in other reviews are true but it did not... more

After leaving the Sheraton we called around to find a hotel and this one was recommended as a wonderful hotel. When we got in the room I about passed out. It was so small and the pull out bed wouldn't even pull out because it hit the bathroom wall. We had to move the bed sideways and it was like... more

After we checked into the front desk and got our luggage to go up to the room. My husband heard the staff snicker about how much luggage we had for 2 days. Not that is was their business, but the luggage was for a 10 day trip. 2 of which would be at that hotel. Which was cut down to... more

Just got back from a fun weekend at the Surfer Beach Hotel. The hotel itself is a bit old and dated, but the rooms were clean and comfortable at an affordable price. The location is the real gem here, as the hotel is situated right on Pacific Beach in the middle of lots of action. There are numerous restaurants, bars,... more

We had a great time here Cinco de Mayo weekend with family. It's nicely appointed, nothing fancy. But the location is awesome! California beaches are like nowhere else. There are great boardwalk places right outside the hotel overlooking the beach. Crazy characters everywhere. There was a surf competition going on the first morning we woke up. more

Having read Tripadvisor reviews, I thought I knew what to expect at the Surfer Beach (basic rooms, good location) - but still came away disappointed. Yes, hot drinks are available in reception, and staff were helpful(ish). Unfortunately, the previous reviewer is wrong in assuming that the whole hotel has been updated (despite what it says on the hotel's website. We... more

The front desk modified our reservations with ease to get a room that suited our tastes. There’s always hot coffee/tea/hot chocolate available in the lobby and the front desk is very accommodating – giving you beach towels or anything else you may need while you’re there. Our room had been recently renovated (I believe the whole hotel has) and was... more
