Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good
"Not the best area, but not terrible for the price, and the pool and hot tub are open until 10pm which is nice. Seemed like a lot of "street business" was being conducted around the property and of course the usual fighting/screaming couples was ever present. Also, the sink in the bathroom was clogged and wouldn't drain properly due to who knows what was dumped down it previously, so I had to clear that myself which was a little disgusting"
