Office closed when we arrived and the manager seems angry we woke him up. Dirty sheets were outside of our room and remained there from check in through our check out, The room itself was clean but there was no lock on the screen. Location was fine.

The place seems dirty at first glance and it actually is, checking with reception was all sarcasm and poor service. Besides her poor attitude bad grooming and lack of respect towards others, In the room there’s no shampoo nor conditioner and door lock doesn’t work. Rooms smell like humidity and going back to reception to ask for shampoo and conditioner they had the nerve to ask em to go get some at the liquor store! Rooms are way smaller than the actual prescription in website. If you happen to need a safe clean and comfortable place to sleep while you’re in a road trip this is definitely not worth the hassle or cost at all. They should be charging $20 bucks per night .

I’ve stayed at this property before. The rooms are clean,comfortable and very reasonably priced. Check in was easy and there was plenty of places to park. Whenever I’m in this part of California,I’ll plan on staying at the Silver Surf.
