Top Surf City Hotel Reviews

Daddy O Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, great staff and convenient"

Surf City Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms are very small and the bathroom is even smaller. The bathroom needs to be updated. There is not even room for a chair in the room. The lady at check-in was very nice. But when I went to the office to ask for extra towels a different lady was there and she was very rude and snippy. Overall a descent beach hotel."
