Perfect locatation and kind of dirty also. Homeless outside, kind of a party hotel. Short walk to the boardwalk. Lots of gnats in the room. You get what you pay for. Id stay again.

Surf City Inn was a cute little spot. Rooms are spacious great for mobility. I love that the beds are not right next to each other allowing space between.

Pretty much what you would expect out of a 2star hotel. Grounds were clean, hot tub need some TLC. Jets did not work and it was REALLY dirty! There were five of us in the room but they only put two towels. One towel was stained badly. Beds were not the best but again, two Star hotel. Rooms were clean.

My stay was absolutely one of the worst I’ve ever experienced. It was so dirty we could not stay. There was bodily fluids on the wall and the sheets. There was granola bar crumbs/food and hair. Hair on the towels and toilet! Dirty floors and stains on all the beds!

The check in and out with a FaceTime computer was weird specially when they ask to scan your credit card. The place was not clean and our room seemed to have being just added to what just to be the housekeeping warehouse. The outside didn’t feel safe and was loud. Water dripping and no pressure what so ever.
