“Cute and cozy. Wonderful after a LONG drive.”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW via mobile

Me, my fiancé and our dog stayed here during our trip from seattle to Monterey. The place is very cute and is in a good location. Our room was very small but we didn't need much for our one night stay. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on and we slept like babies. We drove... More

“Know what you want before booking...”

I have waited to write this because I was so conflicted about my experience at the Surf Motel. Let me say that I jsut wanted a room mid-point between Monterey and Trinidad, and wanted a view with the sounds of the ocean to fall asleep by. This room did not dissapoint in that regard. The hardwood floors are fantastic as... More

“Nice Views as well as a home-made breakfast”

Reviewed April 24, 2013

One can see both the river and the ocean and walk along a trail too, but you cannot go down to the water in this area. Too steep and no way to get down. Breakfast was made by the managers, who will also make you a waffle, and there is a good selection. Wish all hotels had this kind of... More

So happy you enjoyed our breakfast and yes I wish we had walking access to the beach like in the old days. I am told years ago there was a stair way from the bluff to the river and then one could take a boat across the river by using a steel wire across the river to the beach. Thank... More

“This Motel Only Gets Better!”

Reviewed April 18, 2013

We are just leaving the Surf Motel for our 4th time and it's better than ever. Heather and Mike make you feel like family. Since our last stay about 6 months ago the carpets are gone and wonderful hardwood floors are exposed. Many small touches such as replaced grout, fixtures and appliances make this motel feel well kept, clean and... More

“Nice family-friendly Motel”

Reviewed March 30, 2013 via mobile

I wouldn't call this a B&B-- it's a motel with breakfast provided. The doors open directly to the exterior. The hostess does a great job of running everything. Unlike many B&Bs along thr coast, there is no 12-and-over policy here, and its central location makes it a great place to stay if traveling the scenic coastal area.

It never gets old for me to enjoy kind remarks about our humble offering in lodging. We are here to serve guest of all ages. Hey, we can even say that about pets. Hope to see you soon. Your humble servant Eric R. Cogdill More

“Love this Motel”

Reviewed March 12, 2013

This is a nice place to stay. The rooms have a kitchen with stove, dishes, pots and pans, a refrigerator, and table and stools to sit on. You can walk a few yards to see the beach and ocean. You can't get to the ocean from the motel though.

Wow, you are the first person to write about our new kitchen suites. We are so happy about the upgrade and your kind words confirm our dollars spent we valid. Thanks again Your humble servant Eric R. Cogdill More

We stayed in one of their ocean view rooms with 2 beds. I loved being able to lay in bed and look at the ocean. I could have spent the entire day in the room without ever leaving. The room was clean, and neat. I told the manager the water pressure in the shower was low. By the time we... More

I wish I could take credit for the Pacific Ocean and all of its spectacular view offerings, but I can not. The ocean view rooms do offer just that, a view from your bed, yep lay back and enjoy what God has made. We will take credit for being attentive to your needs and hope and pray you will return...

We were driving the "lost coast" above Sonoma and looking for a place to spend the night. This was such a wonderful find. The motel was cute, newly remodeled in a wonderful way, and offered free internet and a wonderful free breakfast--fresh scones and waffles.
