I attended a mini conference for a few days while in Carlsbad and chose to book for its value and accessibility. The Surf has a great location with easy access to the beach and local eateries. The staff was very accommodating, friendly and answered any questions I had without hesitation. The room was spacious, clean and offered simple but necessary amenities (refrigerator, coffee, toiletries). I enjoyed my overall stay and will definitely be back!

perfect for surf and you can walk to the beach and some restaurants super clean and the employees were very nice I went ther to surf and the place was really close to the other beachs and confortable. Clean and the serve good coffee the wave in front is a beachbreak super fun sometimes long and you can surf every day not crowd as other spots and gets really perfect with good conditions

- Das unscheinbare Motel überraschten uns mit einer nicht erwarteten Sauberkeit! Die Lage ist ohnehin Super und das Frühstück überraschte uns ebenfalls durch das reichhaltige Obstangebot. Dieses Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist unschlagbar! Andere Hotels in Carlsbad waren teurer und hatten weniger zu bieten. Sehr nettes Personal.
- This inconsiderable Motel overmatched our expectations! The cleanness is outstanding. The location is - no question - superb and the breakfast met our fruity-expectations (every day fresh fruits, bagels and coffee. A very good price/performance relation. Very friendly stuff.
- Un hôtel muy limpio! Los encargados eran muy amables y el lugar es maravilloso. El desayuno también fue a nuestro gusto con muchas frutas frescas - y todo a un buen precio!

Booked another hotel in Carlsbad and 3 days before our arrival our reservation was cancelled due to maint problems. So glad, because we discovered the Surf Motel. We arrived on the Coaster train and it's an easy walk from the station to the hotel. It was an R&R weekend and that's what we got. Nothing fancy but it's quiet, clean and the beds are very comfortable. Had one of the best night's sleep in a long time. Chairs and towels were provided for the beach. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We've already planned our next trip to Carsbad and we'll be staying at the Surf Motel!
