Rooms were very clean. Front desk lady was very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent, warm for the first time in Inns. Usually inns have cold breakfast, right out of fridge but Surf Inn had the best warm breakfast and with lots of healthy options not just cold boiled eggs from fridge and apple strudal.
This is exactly what a roadside motel should be: clean, friendly, comfortable, affordable, and easy to find. While our room was on the small side, the views just steps away from your door are spectacular.
We loved Gualala and the Surf Inn is the best place to sit, completely relax, drink wine and enjoy the beautiful view. Jade the manager is the very best! So friendly and helpful❤️
Jade was lovely and helpful, the coffee machine in the lobby is delicious. The property location and view are perfect the bed is warm and comfy. Can’t wait to come back.

Great location, pet friendly and convenient continental breakfast.
When I checked in Jade was so pleasant! She checked me in quickly and told me to be sure to ask her if I needed anything else. She gave me directions to places to eat and also the art center in the Redwoods. My room was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay at the Surf Inn again!
We’ve been to Gualala many times over many years, but this was our first stay at Surf Inn. The room was very comfortable and clean, the staff was very welcoming and helpful and the location is perfect.
love love love this place id go back just to stay there again next to the ocean up above outside seating w tables for meals great little continental breakfast setup great people
Room was clean and comfortable. It is an older hotel that they’ve recently revamped. Perfect location, clean, comfortable beds, we’d stay again when in the area.
My room was immaculately clean. Jade at the front desk was warm and welcoming and had great dining suggestions for Gualala and other scenic attractions on my journey South. Good food and a grocery store were a short walk away. I parked and didn't have to drive until I was ready to leave. Would return to this location.
Great location. Close to Ocean. Ocean views. Restaurants are walkable. And/ or short distance. Nice arrangement and choices for breakfast coffee and other drinks. Jade was very helpful and thoughtful. Will return again!
Great place to stay close to the ocean.
The manager Jade and other staff made us feel welcome. The continental breakfast was great and was better than other places we’ve stayed.
Easy parking, great location, comfortable bed and well managed… would stay there again for sure!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property, and we will be returning! The best thing g is the staff, super friendly and helpful. The rooms are cute, quiet and comfy with a nice basic shower. The bed was amazing and you can’t beat the view here! They also had a nice continental breakfast and great coffee!
