Chaminade Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great quiet spot"

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good

"We had a partial view of the beach, which was great. There was a shared patio, which we didn’t mind. The walk to the beach, wharf, boardwalk, and restaurants was very convenient. The room was quaint. We did notice the floors and some of the furniture were collecting dust. The closet space was awkward because the mini fridge and the microwave were also inside taking up space, so our clothes weren’t able to hang freely. Probably not the best place for that. Especially, the microwave because heating up food can potentially smell your hung clothing. Overall, the stay was comfortable and the customer service was great. They got my room ready for an early check-in, which I appreciated very much. It was the perfect, affordable vacation stay for my family. Favorite part, was definitely the location. The grocery store (Trader Joe’s or Safeway) is only a 5-7 minute drive. We would stay there again and just request for the room to be cleaned more thoroughly. "

Surf City Inn and Suites

2/10 Terrible

"The experience at this establishment was extremely disappointing. The rooms were unclean, with one having an oven that emitted smoke without triggering the alarm, necessitating evacuation. Upon returning, the room was infested with roaches. Despite spending nearly $1500 per night for two rooms, there was no on-site staff to address these issues or provide cleaning supplies. Initial impressions were positive, but the reality was far from it. The bathrooms were unhygienic, with visible footprints, hair, and sand, and the toilet paper was nearly depleted without replacement. The bedding was dirty, and the TV remotes were either non-functional or provided limited channels, contrary to the advertised Netflix access. Additionally, the pool was cloudy, and there were no towels available. Overall, it was an awful experience. "
