We love staying at the Silver Surf! Rooms are very clean and we love the high ceilings with ceiling fans. The window shutters are great too! (Only issue was our tv didn’t work- but fortunately it was not a big deal since we didn’t have anything we really wanted to watch anyway.)

HOST WAS POLITE. CHECK IN EASY. ROOM CLEAN, BUT THEY STILL HAVE CARPET, WHICH IS SUPRISING THEY DIDNT REMODEL WITH LAMINATE FLOORING. WE WOKE UP TO NO POWER, SO COULDNT GET READY, NO CALLS FROM HOTEL LOBBY TO ADVISE. TVS ARE A PAIN TO MANAGE TOO. BUT INEXEPENSIVE WAY TO STAY BY THE OCEAN. ROOMS HAVE STRANGE DECOR AND PAINT CHOICES CONSIDERING IS A BEACH HOTEL, BUT IT WAS DECENT ENOUGH. THEY HAVE RACOONS TOO, WE MET A FAMILY IN THE HALL GOING THROUGH GARBAGES. NO FRILLS, BASIC SIMPLE STAY.

Room was clean and comfortable. Neighbors were good. For the most part it was quite. I would go back to this hotel. Only one bad thing when I called about 4:30pm, to confirm my reservations the front desk clerk was a little rude. When I asked her name, she said it was "the front desk." I guess I would not want to give my name if I was rude either. :( I had 2 reservations for that day Oct 18th. I went to the Cambria Scarecrow Festival.

Filthy floors

I don’t believe the room has ever been mopped. The floors turned our feet and socks black. I took two wash rags and got them wet and cleans the bathroom floor myself and when I took them to show the staff the only thing they said was we don’t appreciate guests ruining our towel. I included a picture of the wash rags used to clean the bathroom floor

Great Hotel/Childish Check In

The location is Wonderful. But the person working the front desk has an "Attitude Problem." He chooses to Argue With & Challenge guests about Non-Important things. A year ago he was Confrontational with me about my key not working properly. This time he was Confrontational because I rang the doorbell before entering the waiting area because I did not see him. I had to calm him down with my Words which made me feel like I was "Baby-sitting." This guy Really Needs to Learn to Treat Guests Better. Currently he is "Very Unprofessional."
