Very disappointed, we've been there before a few years ago and it was ok, but now it's unkempt and the bathroom was very filthy. The shower-curtain was all over with mould and everywhere long dark hair on the ground. The toilet was so filthy that we used the one at the Ihop. The guardrail was broken and very dangerous. It's... more

Wireless Internet didn't work the whole time I was there. Many excuses: Someone downloaded too big a file; Then, The guy who fixes it got in a car wreak, etc. I suspect the wireless connection never works. Door looked like it had been kicked in- paint cracked and weather stripping didn't contact so the constant street noise came in. Folded... more

If you're like my husband and I, you would rather spend your money on activites and sight-seeing in the city than on a fancy hotel. We just needed a decent room in a good location. That's exactly what we got at the Surf Motel. Sure there were no frills and yes it's on a noisy street, but it's the big... more

We've actually stayed here twice... the first time was a great experience. We paid $90/night and had a good room, set way back in the corner away from the road. The room was small, but comfortable and clean. The location as so good that when we went back to the city a few months later we went back. The second... more

The only good thing about this place was the parking. It's located right on Lombard Street, a main thoroughfare, which is noisy 24 hours a day. Room was very small and cramped. Numerous things were broken like bathroom hardware and lights and it was obvious no one had bothered to fix them. I don't ask for much but couldn't wait... more

We had a great stay at the Surf Motel. Didn't really compare prices on too many places, but it seemed like good value to us. Got a room on the first floor and slightly back from the road so there wasn't any noticeable noice either. The hairdryer was broken, though in fairness I didn't report it, but other than that... more

After reading a reasonable review of this motel in the usually relaible 'Rough Guide' . We called and booked a room for 1 night. On arrival the place looked rundown and not in the slightest bit welcoming. At this point I was reluctant to even get out of the car and venture in. However as we had booked it and... more

Stayed here for 4 nights during our trip to the US. This was the worst motel on our 20 day trip. Cons: Loud, 24/7 traffic on Lombard street, bad isolation Lots of drunk and loud kids around (weekend) Smelly room Worn and smelly towels Overall a very rundown place Forget the breakfast (dry donuts) Pros: Cheap Free Parking Relatively safe... more

My sisters just stayed at this hotel for 2 nights before they were flying back to Europe. I tried to call them 3 times and this is what happened: 1. As I asked to transfer me to their room the person at the front desk told me that they asked to call back after midnight which they did not as... more
