Beautiful. Right on the beach, with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. We rollerbladed, surfed, and visited the zoo. It was amazing and the service was exceptional.

The hotel is on the beach. Hotel is on the older side but well maintained and very comfortable. Mercedes at the front desk was very nice and informative. We really enjoyed our stay.

Very bare-bones, but perfect for families that want to stay steps away from the beach without breaking the bank!
5-night trip

6/10

The location of the hotel was good right by the beach, I would have liked a better view from our room of the ocean. The pillows were all lumpy and the carpet looked dirty. The staff was very nice and helpful to ours needs. Overall the stay was average.

It was great. They were very attentive. Great views.

They were accommodating with letting me check in early and it’s conveniently located right next to the boardwalk and the beach but if you are looking for a nice, luxury stay this is not the place to stay

Great location on the beach and close to plenty of dining and shopping options.

We loved our room. The balcony was perfect to enjoy the ocean. The desk staff were outstanding, very friendly and helpful. It is an older hotel and needs some up lifting In the bathroom area.

8/10

Staff was great, location is perfect, but the hotel itself is old and run down. The ocean air has taken it's toll on the property
1-night trip

8/10

Our stay was nice, the only downside is that is AC is super loud and the TV channels are very limited. I know that I am not there to watch TV, but at night after being at the beach all day, it would have been nice to watch TV with channels worth watching. The wifi also sucks (at least from our first floor room).

10/10

Great location for the price! My ocean room view was amazing - left my slider door open all night to listen to the waves! Walk next door to Woodys for great breakfast, etc! Walk a few minutes more to beach bar for drinks & fish tacos!

This is our second stay at this hotel. What you're paying for here is literally the location. Although it's not a five-star hotel it's nice enough. I mean really who spends that much time in their room when they're literally, right on the beach? I will be staying here again! We stayed here last year and again about a week ago and we've decided that this is our spot, again it's because of the location. It's an older hotel but it's clean and it serves its purpose. The staff is very friendly and always ready to be helpful in any way they can be, so this is also a plus!

The Surfer Beach Hotel is a great hotel with friendly staff and is walking distance to several restaurants and shops along the beach. It is a must stay in Pacific Beach!

Good location, right on the beach. But this hotel is very old and not kept up. Stained carpet, dent in the wall, no pictures or anything hung in the room, felt more like a motel. Disappointed!

4-night trip

The bedding was terrible, the pillows were very lumpy as if the foam was falling apart. All the pillows were like this, they may have been the original ones since 1963. The bed duvet was also lumpy. We will noy be staying here again. The hotel offers a great location for beach goers.
