Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent
"A great stay, loved that the 2nd bed had its own room and tv. Bathroom was spacious. The water was hot, the fridge worked. They even have a mini golf there along side a patio where you Can relax. The only downside was you Can tell some guests live there as they were working on their cars and hanging out in groups in the rooms"

8/10 Good
"This place all around was beautiful, the location is great. My only complaint was that our coffee maker was missing a piece and I let the front office know about it and instead of getting a new piece or new coffee maker they told me oh well nothing they can do about it. They have a coffee bar from 8-10am but we have a baby so our mornings start at 5am so not having a coffee maker in the room sucked."
