Verified reviews of Surfer Beach Hotel

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently:
"Walk the beach"
Overall score3.0/ 5
The beach is out the back door of the hotel. Many eateries, night life, shops and grocery store within walking distance. Pay to park in hotel lot or find free public parking. If you want to walk the beach/boardwalk, go for swim in the ocean or pool, walk for a coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, groceries, shopping, rentals and witness the surf and a beautiful sunset at a reasonable price and fair accommodations and don't plan on spending a bunch of time in your room, then this is the place to experience Pacific Beach.
