All was as expected less location not as was to have ocean view but really it's a far peek of ocean over loud I-5. The plus was the $15 credit to SC Cafe, A+!!!

I liked the large space in the room. It was in a good spot with a donut shop across the street. The beach was close but not walking distance for us. The shower was great. They have streaming tv, but not cable. The staff were very friendly and helpful if needed. I liked the terrace where I can sit a relax. (There is traffic on the street below, but that didn't bother me.) The amenities were useful. I didn't like the restaurant across the street, but we only tried it once. Overall, it was very comfortable, and I wouldn't mind staying there again.

Clean very large spacious room however there was a missing door for the bathroom so showering caused a big mess with water. I cleaned up best I could but you could tell it's been like this for a while since the floor boards would creak when you stepped on them. Location was very walkable. Parking was limited.

The hotel is quite grand looking and the room was cozy and clean, but there were serious plumbing issues in my room. The hot water handle for the sink was nonfunctional and the handle for the shower came off in my hand. The Surf Break Hotel is right across from the freeway and was quite noisy. You are charged $25 for breakfast and beach rentals like surf boards and bikes. That gives you a $15 credit at the cafe across the street, which was delicious, and access to the beach equipment, which I didn't need. The staff was very helpful and kind.

The property and the hotel was nice and clean. The only thing we didn’t like is everything has to be checked in through your mobile phone. and the code to get inside your room, you have to press really hard your code number otherwise you get locked out in

We had out of town guests and needed a one night stay for them and we pleased that they had a one night option. Check in was easy and the desk person was lovely and accommodating. Our guest said they really enjoyed the room and that the bed was very comfortable. Will definitely book again.
