The gazebo with the lights on it was festive and a nice place to sit at night and is probably beautiful in Spring and Summer when the roses are in bloom. The first room I was given had an overflowing toilet, the plunger and towels to absorb water were still in the bathroom, so I think there was no communication between maintenance and front desk. The next room was "clean", but there was food in the fridge from previous guest, and a drawer full of food, so I don't think housekeeping thoroughly cleans between guests. Both the fridge and microwave were in need of cleaning and disinfecting. Made me think maybe the room was "cleaned" but not really disinfected. Will never stay here again. Front desk did say they were "sorry I had to see that" to the toilet issue.

Go for character!

Super cute vintage motel that has been updated. So much more character than the box hotels. The garden was lovely.

We were only there for a night on our long road trip home, but we had a great stay— it was quiet, clean, comfortable, and the perfect spot to rest for the night with our newborn baby and elderly dog. We’ll definitely be back for a longer stay in the future. Thank you!

Good location. Fairly priced. Poor housekeeping. Trash not taken out. Bed not made and room not cleaned. Very small breakfast area resulting in congestion around food area. Too noisy in breakfast area.

They had issues on their end resolved before I even knew there was an issue - apparently they had overbooked and in doing so simply upgraded me before I got there so as to accommodate all I had requested!! Later helped me to find what I needed locally and were very knowledgeable of the area. They really summed up my trip PERFECTLY!!!

I like Surf Motel, even though it does not have an ocean view, because it is reasonably priced, well-maintained, and the central garden area gives it a special, homey feel. Traffic noise is not a consideration, and the location is convenient to Fort Bragg's features and very close to the harbor.

When I checked in I was given room (#134) which was absolutely unacceptable. The carpet was stained, one of the pieces of furniture look like a dog had chewed it and the smelled musty. I immediately asked for another room #140 which was only marginally better. I would not recommend this place to anyone !
