Surf City Inn and Suites

Surf City Inn and Suites

2/10 Terrible
"Let’s just saw I felt we got ripped off. Blood on the towels. Spider, cockroach and other bug in the room had to kill. Homeless blankets in the back of my view in the yard very creepy. The flooring broken the walls patched with ugly paint not matching air conditioning super loud not a pleasant stay barely any pillows. Probably the worst place. I’ve stayed now in California. Very disappointed. I’m never going there again. One star in my book."
