Labor Day Weekend Stay

My stay at the Surfbreak Hotel was great. The room was air conditioned, very clean and everything worked as it should have. The bed and bedding was extremely comfortable. The staff was extremely nice and always available if needed. It is located close to a lot of shops and places to eat and just minutes from the pier and the beach. I was on the third floor and could see the ocean from the front balconies of the hotel. All in all I had a great experience at this hotel and would recommend it to anyone else that asks me where to stay in southern California near the beach.

It was a pretty nice stay, quiet a laid back, it’s small so not a lot of people and the owners were very adamant on helping in any way they could. Giving ideas for places to go, places for food, and even offering surf boards you can rent.

Problem with parking

I like the hotel, but the problem i had was parking. If the parking spaces are full you will be out of luck. You will have to find parking somewhere else and risk a chance your car might get tow. Also there were molds near the tub. the tv in my room wasn't working properly. You can hear it but no pictures
