Overall pretty good room, rooms were a bit humid and sometimes smelled weird, but it was very clean and employees were nice. Great for a budget trip.

Rooms were very clean and the amount of pillows was perfect for us. Pretty quiet and didn't hear road noise. We wished there was hangers and a full size mirror in the room along with a hook in the bathroom, but otherwise a lovely stay.

The staff was nice and very informative, the room was clean, but I wish was a coffee pot in the room instead of having to go down to the office to get a cup of coffee.

Staff was super friendly at check in. Property was clean and quiet. Parking can be a little crampy when fully occupied but was able to find parking. Bed was comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Very simple, nice, and clean motel. Ice machine was out of order but not too big of a deal

This was a great stay given the long weekend that we stayed for during memorial Day. Really love the location of the hotel and you really get what you expected.

Samantha • Couple Trip

Really good place to stay, super comfy bed, clean room, easy check in. Staff wasn't there to answer the phone or help me, and I was trying to get back into the room the get an item I left. So that's a loss now but other than that it was incredible.

This was my 2nd stay here. Great location, great room, GREAT COFFEE MACHINE in the lobby! Except for rude loud people in the morning, who like to yell at each other right outside your door (not the fault of the establishment) this stay was close to perfection.

Nice clean little room. Great for the price. Updated rooms. The TV didnt work but Mike helped us fix it easily. There is no coffee machines in the room but there is a very nice coffee maker in the lobby.

This was a clean and well maintained property with all basic amenities required for my 3 day stay. Very well located and staff was very pleasant. Had a nice experience overall

Doris • Family Trip

The rooms weren’t large, but had a nice, comfortable King bed. A private bathroom with a tub and shower combo and toilet. A nice sized vanity was just outside the restroom. . The room also included a small fridge and microwave. The cost of the room was approximately $100 lower than brand-name hotels such as HI Express or Comfort Suites, but restaurants were very nearby in a nice shopping center and also at the wharf where you can enjoy seeing sea lions and otters.. I highly recommend The Monterey Surf Inn if you are looking for a hotel that is clean, comfortable, affordable, updated and convenient, without all the extra frills such as free breakfast. I would definitely stay here again and I’m pretty choosy.
