First thing that stood out to me was the amazing customer service! I stayed here May 21st and did a late check in at around 9 pm there was a young lady and young man working they did an amazing job with assisting me Everything went so smoothly the next morning the same young lady helped me again as well! the property is beautiful and so are the rooms! Will def be staying here more often! Thank you Residence Inn LA Redondo Beach for everything!!

Jon Beacher

I was afraid of the road noise facing the highway, but they have double glass city windows that drowns out all the car noise The bed was very comfortable and stellar free breakfast The lobby has a very homely feel with a fireplace and many tables

Fire pit outside was amazing and the front desk people are charming I would definitely stay here again

Morgan Roberts

It wasn’t great It was average You get what you pay for so don’t expect much

This isn’t a luxury hotel They charge 20 a night for parking, which seems a little expensive and unnecessary for self park The hot breakfast only existed for 2 mornings The rest was pre packaged sandwiches Room was 50 feet from fwy and loud Customer service was the best part and the comfy beds!

The Jewel Riders Archive

There’s many different aspects to this review And I think that the over arching four stars is for the general experience Some of the service was amazing, some of the service was a little lackluster

The resort as a whole was a little underwhelming The activities offered hotel gas such as horseback riding or kayaking could have been more adventurous; and an actual beach access would’ve been nice The rooms were beautiful The food was decent A little over priced… But I would say if you enjoy sitting in your room and eating at restaurants and listening to live music this is the place to go But if you’re looking for an all inclusive type of a resort this is probably not the place to go

Erin Preul

Terranea has been on my list of places I wanted to stay for a long time I can’t say I was totally disappointed, but I was also not blown away For the price, I was pretty shocked at the poor level of service

When we arrived, our room wasn’t ready – at 5:15PM! We had been told we could check in at 4 at the latest, so we were very frustrated to wait with our bags in the lobby after a long day of travel Not to mention, at the hourly cost of this hotel for an ocean view room, that was almost $100 of time we shouldn’t have had to pay forLuckily, the location was spectacular and the ocean view made up for a lot But we were also surprised that after a day by the pool, our room had not been cleaned We didn’t expect a full service even, just simply new towels and a made-up bed This kind of service is what we expect these days from a lower level hotel, but the price they ask you to pay makes the small details matter much moreI would recommend saving your money and booking a vacation where you will get great service I can only hope Terranea goes back to the quality I heard so much about before COVID – as it stands, I would not return

I didn’t stay at the hotel here, but I and my date spent some time at the lobby bar and the garden The lobby bar is a beautiful place, amazing vibe, with live music on the day we were there (a Sunday evening) It really was nice

We almost didn’t want to leave 😀 The food was good (we had the calamari something) and it was a lot I was surprised at the amount of food The drinks were pretty good tooParking was also not bad Just $12 for valet parkingThat was for the lobby bar The garden walk was amazing So so beautiful and the area that overlooks the ocean is breathtaking I highly recommend this place 💯Next goal is to stay for a day or two in the beautiful hotel, and try the other restaurants at the location

The beds are the absolute worse! The bed is extremely hard, you can feel every spring digging into your back, makes the loudest noise with every move! It was hard to stay asleep when you u consciously shift in your sleep If you have back problems this will definitely make you sufferI advised the staff serval times and even 1 week ahead of time

I would require a 1st floor room with immediate access to outside since I have trouble with stairs due to an injury When it was time to check in they said I had to go a second floor room, that had no immediate access to outside for fresh air When I went to complain because it’s difficult and painful to go up and down stairs, they brushed me off with the absolute worst customer service No sorrys just shrugs and oh wells Even got some attitude when I complain that I kept checking in to make sure they know I needed an outside room being on the first floor, can you believe that?!They have a tiny little trash can for their kitchen which is ridiculous since you can fit anything in it especially when you have an entire kitchen The cooking ware looks very run downAlso I find it very awkward and weird how the vents are so conveniently facing the bed, which I advised y’all checking before doing anythingAlso the room we were in had this huge window that faces the living room and part of the bedroom And the ONLY curtain u can close was a SHEER SEE THRU curtain!!!!!! Talk about not being able to walk comfortably thru the room without the possibility of someone looking inside! It was beyond stupid and lack of privacy!I found it very inconvenient and weird how the card you use to open your room can be deactivated if accidentally brushed against your phoneI’m also shocked there was no jacuzzi, very disappointedAlso found yellow stains on our white bed It looked fresh and it made me feel disgustedTheir breakfast was not appetizing, if you take the risk of staying here , you will see what I mean when you go down to breakfastOverall I don’t recommend coming here Sticking with the resident inn by Marriott As someone who is well traveled, this is not the place

Location, Location, LocationYou can’t beat the location and that’s why it got as many stars as it didUnfortunately, most other parts of the hotel felt like they were cutting corners

When you go to rent a towel, they inform you that if you don’t return it, you have to pay $25 per towel When they give you the keys (physical keys), they inform you that it’s $125 to replace if lost, the shampoo and conditioner were cheap, they didn’t clean our room once in 4 days, and the parking was around $30 per day The main bed was a queen and frankly, was not that comfortable There was a kitchen but the pots and pans were a total of about 4 and it was definitely hit or miss if they had the right pansAgain, the location was excellent but it felt like they just bank on that and don’t do anything else beyond emphasize their locationIf you’re looking for a beach hotel, this one fits the bill If you’re looking to go to Los Angeles and you want a magical experience, go to the Magic Castle, you won’t be disappointed!

Melissa Hill

There is dried blood on the walls throughout the room The guy at the front desk apologized and came to clean (and honestly he has been very nice and sympathetic), but just not feeling comfortable For almost $250/night this is unacceptable – unsanitary room conditions and a lack of concern from the general manager about this and the inconvenience to his guest

Sara

Paid $500 for one night in a “room with a partial Seaview” There was absolutely no sea view The hotel management acknowledged there was no view from our room and seemed not to care at all that they had charged us for a room that was falsely advertised

Too bad- this used to be a great hotel In addition to the false advertising, rooms seriously in need of being renovated Blinds broken, low quality

Anne-Line Christensen

We arrived very early, extremely tired after a night flight The staff was wonderful and told us to get some breakfast at their place and took care off all of our luggage After that we went to the beach with beach chair and bath towels from the hotel

They gave us an early access to the room and the luggage was already taken care ofThe room was a little bit smaller than it looks like on the pictures but the view was fantastic Big bathroom The bed was amazing but the sofa bed was terrible to sleep on for our teenagers The madras was thin and there was always some noise when mowing around during the nightAs this was pretty expensive nights compared to other hotel this period, we was surprised that they didn’t make the sofa bed before night time We took some pillows from our bed to the sofa bedThe most sad part is that the bathroom was not clean when we checked in On the floor under the sink there was a lot of red something and was easy to spotI told the reception and they said they would take care of it Later that evening they gave us extra new towels, but the floor was still the same… I told they about this the next morning and had the same answer as they day before The day went by and no one had cleaned the bathroom The next day I had to go look for the cleaner’s my self All the staff on the hotel was super nice and friendly A big plus

raymund cordero

Our stay has been wonderful for the past few yearsThe hotel is in a great location and the staff has always been wonderfulMy family has been to this location for at least 3 years now

Every year, as we leave the premises we have scheduled our vacation for the next year It’s always the same time to celebrate a birthday This year we even spent 2 more days than our usual To my dismay, tonight’s evening manager tells me to my face that there is really nothing special about my family coming every year It is “supply and demand” and we are not any different from any other customer!! Really???I was trying to buy book our next year’s celebration as she was telling me thisI told her that I was extremely appalled!Is this what her company really expects of her??If that is the case, there shouldn’t be any customer loyalty to the very people that we believed had our interests always in their priority? My family is extremely disappointed 🙁

Jose Alonso

My Family and I (party of 9) booked 2 adjacent rooms together for the 4th of July weekend and we had an amazing experience! The staff was wonderful, great to talk to, easy to request items, and the hotel and rooms were clean The room was larger than standard, with a king bed and a foldout couch plus a kitchenette with a cooktop and refrigerator and microwave Plenty of space for storing all the luggage plus beach items

The Hotel provided beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers, and kids sand toys, all complimentary! This is our new home away from home, definitely recommended to all!

Us girls had our annual girls trip here this year, almost 2 weeks ago Yes during the pandemic but everyone at the hotel was very safe, wore masks etc We were required to wear them too walking anywhere (when you were coming into contact w/ppl) or walking into or out of restaurants

The little shops & coffee shop/bakery had the line at 6ft apart & limited amount of ppl in the little shop The 1 lady working in the shop was a bit rude but anyways, I cam here to review our room, pool & the property We had the larger room,w/a kitchen & a connecting normal room The balcony on the larger room was BEAUTIFUL! It had 2 lounge couches, a round glass table w/an umbrella & a fire place! The property is absolutely beautiful & relaxing We had a cabana at the adult pool for 2 days,which was great The pool never got packed & it over looked the oceanside can’t say enough good things about this place besides that you should go! I can’t wait to go back here w/just my hubby & another trip w/hubby & our daughter!! There’s also alot of amenities like a golf course, spa, excursions, kayaking & guided hiking but most were closed or very limited due to damn Covid lol Oh well, next time!

james Pe

This place is amazing Very spacious, has its own washer and dryer, full refrigerator, Microwave, two-burner stove, auto-light fireplace with timer, two toilets (one with its own sink), full bath, full shower, Krupps coffee maker, dish washer, the list goes on This bottom floor unit has an outside porch fire pit

The sofa is a king (I think) hideaway bed There are two large wide screen TVs I wish there was a DVD player, but hey, they have almost everything else The housekeeping is doing a great job with cleaning and restocking everything Room service has been great, and doesn’t take longer than quotedHighly recommend staying in a bungalow if you can spend the $$

It’s reasonably priced for LA The rooms do not have microwaves, irons or ironing boards, they do not have a free breakfast bar, but offer 1 free dinner instead (oriental meal) The rooms are nice with heated bidets

They do honor AARP discounts, a plus in my favor Other than the few short commings I rate it 5 stars for excellent service

S P

This is a follow up to New Gardena Hotel’s reply to my original post I was very specific in regards to my review as being a LATE review in my original postHotel stated ” in fairness, it has been more than 3 years since you stayed in our hotel

“Of course it has been years Why would I stay at the hotel again after what happened?

This hotel was AMAZING!!! The views of the ocean, the patio, the room decor, the cleanliness, the staff were so kind and accommodating and the location is my personal favorite so location deserves 100 starsReasons I gave it a 4 The biggest being that my neighbors made nonstop noise from about 9p to 4a that sounded like someone dropping a bowling ball every few minutes

In between the horrendous thunderous noise was chalkboard screeching noise I lost sleep completely Also the parking is terribly tiny, the room is a bit small and there was construction right at the propertyThat said, I’ll be booking my return to this location soon This is still my favorite because the vibe was so free and bright Hopefully neighbors and construction won’t be an issue I’ll be happy to park in the tiny spaces and will deal with a smaller than expected room size because everything else about it was above my expectations I’ll see you all soon!!!!

Hannah Emfon

I really hate to give this review as I’m not a complainer at all but the staff give me no alternative Communication with the hotel was awful I asked before arrival via email what the hotel could offer outside of the standard packages for my wife’s birthday after chasing on numerous occasions with no reply I finally got a standard response of the packages offered on the website to which I declined (they weren’t to her liking) upon arrival I was told there were items in the room to celebrate (these weren’t agreed) when advised I hadn’t agreed to anything they said leave them to one side and we will refund you

We did this and I have since requested the refund 3 times via email (I can’t call as we are in the UK) and have received no response Service and communication is poor which is unfortunate for such a beautiful hotel Management clearly do not care about their standard of service!

Last week was my 2nd stay at the Sea Sprite & it was amazing!! A young guy with glasses brought our luggage all the way to the 3rd floor when he didn’t have to, I didn’t get his name but he was really great Anne checked us in again & was so pleasant My plans in LA are all over & can be far from the hotel but I don’t mind it because of the view & the amazing service they provide

I plan on staying here for all future trips to LA Thank you to all of the staff & the little guy with glasses!

This hotel is honestly a joke It was giving motel 6 vibes The pricing of everything (room, parking) and a $200 deposit that WASN’T stated on the website didn’t equate to the overall service being given

Which ALSO, I still have not received my deposit back even though they told me I would receive it when I checked out I checked out last week!-_- I called multiple times and they keep pushing back the days when I should receive it Not only that the Pool was dirty and the cleaning workers did not seem like they wanted to clean my room either If you get paid to do a job, maybe do the job at the best of your ability? Smh

JL MYIK

I stay here for 3 nights, and the room was big and nice Great location and front desk ppl Yet I asked to have my room cleaned and NOT ONCE was it cleaned

They also have you pay for parking and there was nowhere to park after paying for my whole stay There was $200 deposit for the room, but the room had nothing in there and still haven’t received it back

Anaseini Aleamotua

Fire alarm went off inside the room, but they weren’t able to help in any way so I had to figure it out myself Room wasn’t cleaned for the whole stay even after asking for services Had to quickly go in to the room to grab my wallet and was told off by the room cleaners that she won’t proceed with the cleaning since I came in for 10 seconds

During the interaction, another guest expressed that she’s been asking them to clean her room for two weeks The bare minimum was barely met and the I only gave the star for the location

Will never book again, their lobby closes at 11pm, and when we tried to call to explain we’d be late, because of flight delays, it was always busy, couldn’t even leave a message, was charged @ mid night for cancellation, when we tried to call again in the morning at 9 when they open, it would still give us the busy line tone, didn’t hear from them until 11 am, which by then we had booked another hotel Terrible service, DO NOT RECOMMEND

Hema M

The worst place I have ever stayed in The room was extremely tiny, don’t be fooled by the pictures The bed was very dirty and had stains all over, and the pillows had brown things on them that looked as either blood or something worse

I don’t recommend this place Also bed bugs My whole body was itching all night and i couldn’t sleep They refused to change my room or even change the sheets, even after showing them the brown stains Their excuse, the lady that cleans the rooms and changes the sheets is not here and won’t be back until tomorrow and all other rooms are taken even though the parking lot was half full I am convinced the good reviews here are fake

Hien Pham

WONDERFUL STAY!!! It took me a very long time to choose a place to stay for my solo trip to California Based on views and price, Hi View was the top choice The staff was amazing and kind ! They allowed for a late check out and whenever I needed anything, they ensured I got it ! I stayed for 7 days and I had such a pleasant stay

The bathroom is newly renovated and I loved the large mirror with great lighting It is not run down at all, the rooms are spacious and even had a couch in it ! Clean, spacious , great location, great staff, I can not say enough good things! Also only a 15 minute walk straight to the beach and a 15 minute walk to Target ! I am definitely staying here again!

The location was amazing!! 1 mile to the beach and close to shops and restaurants! Our room was a good size and clean! The breakfast was pretty good with a lot of variety The beds could have been more comfortable and the walls seemed a little thin—we could hear when our neighbor was running water Overall, it was great and we will definitely stay again!

Teisha Nero

If it were not for Ericka, I would have canceled my ENTIRE stay I made an initial call requesting an early check-in and was advised they didn’t have rooms available for early check-in and to come at 4 PM (guaranteed check-in) I called back 15 minutes after 4pm to confirm amenities for our room and was advised by Alex that because loyalty members requested late check-outs; our SUITE was not available for check in at the guarantee check in time of 4 PM

He advised I allow an additional 45 minutes; however, I called back, spoke with Ericka who confirmed there WAS a room and she saved it for us to ensure we weren’t displaced Erika is accommodating, friendly , and has such a beautiful spirit; she needs to remain the face of this company because without her, they would lose QUALITY CONSUMERS Go Ericka!!!!

Red Avett

Received an incidental charge of $55 despite not ordering food and barely being in the room Front desk confirmed there were no incidentals and said it should fall off and it did not When I disputed it with my credit card, they indicated the front desk said it was legitimate

Also, Suite Night Award was not granted, but they did not return the Suite Night making that platinum benefit an intangible lottery that could grant you nothing

My family staying here after an accident at my parents home Staff helped us get adjoining rooms on 1 hour notice Then helped us move parents to the closest handicapped-accessible toom within a week

Breakfasts are wholesome and variety is good Cleaning staff is accommodating Rooms are generally quiet Gated parking is a plusThe only thing is that carpet and hard floors are so old and dirty they are sticky and socks turn black in a day Would love it if floors were steam cleaned periodically

Had a big family reunion at the hotel! They were very accommodating with the family, with all of the check ins and the use of the Catalina room for games and activitiesOur specific room had a lovely view of the ocean The sliding glass door to our room had great noise canceling as well

We were able to hear live music from a local car show with it open and then close it to take a nap Great room, clean and functional, no issues!

Christina

Checking in for our reservation was fast and the hotel is walking distance to the pier The hotel is decorated nicely There is a bar in the middle of the lobby as well as a gift shop

My room had a decent view of the ocean and was a nice size The bed soft and comfy For one night the room was about $250, parking $32 and deposit $100

Sea & Bill Peterson

This Sonesta is outstanding The staff were wonderful, especially Angel Luis, the manager, was amazing

The only downside is the parking situation The fees are high and the automated system was not functioning People playing their personal music by the pool was irritating; especially the young kids and their heavy metal sounds We had to close our doors and go inside, despite having notified the front desk It would have been handy to have a restaurant on site

Probably the worse experience we had with customer service in this town The front desk was very rude and made a horrible first impression to us and our family friend’s on day 1 It was very clear that management was horrible and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in the hotel industry

Some positive things?The location is good Adjacent to some great restaurants and it’s on a quieter side of the area which was niceThe pool gets full sun which is nice and never gets talked about It’s nice if you want to get away from the hectic beach and sandGood value for the facility/rooms and cleanliness Parking is easy and it’s a quiet areaThe facility would be great if the front desk and management wasn’t horrible This is why they deserved 1 star Paying several hundreds a day to be talked to like you’re about to be evicted for not paying your rent is not cool

James Kolb

The hotel is at a great location, but FAR from being considered a true Hilton property The hotel and bar offer absolutely nothing complimentary (Coffee, tea or even water), breakfast items are a menu choice and are very healthy, but a little pricey The rooms are very comfortable and spacious

The staff was accommodating and friendlyThe pool and hot tub are clean and comforting, however the entire pool area had ONE functioning umbrella for a dozen plus chaise lounges When asked maintenance if they had more umbrellas, he stated parts are on order! Overall…very satisfied

Brian Martino

This is the perfect place for quiet, fun, rest, and relaxation The rooms are perfectly appointed Beautiful oceanfront view from my suite

My meal from foodservice was delivered quickly and friendly and was set up unobtrusively The steak was cooked perfectly! Which is saying something since its difficult to find a rare steak in SCalifornia! The check-in process was seamless and was made to feel valued The staff is just incredible, everyone! Thank you for a beautiful stay!

Stayed a week on Family vacationIn a pretty good location, fairly close to several attractions/entertainment options Beautiful beach within 8min of hotel; Manhattan Beach/Pier (Less busy than Santa Monica)Good staff service, with good breakfast, and reception food n beverage options

The Hotel does a decent job keeping the facility and rooms clean Just needs to be cleaned more frequently, if possible, and a little more thoroughlyOverall, a pretty satisfactory stay for the week!!!

Hai Parnes

The hotel located on the 405 But you don’t hear nothing They’re very kind clean, and just did remodel

Very good service! very recommend!! we had a lot of fun and a answer of all our requestLess good: If the Check is in 15:00 the room will not be ready before! also we were there 14 nights and the GYM where close because of broken mirror that didn’t fixed!but still we are recommended for this place the feeling it’s good you will love it

JF FK

Overall the staff in the kitchen area really made our stay pleasant The Mexican and Filipino lady always greeted us with a smile each morning and offered to make waffles prior to it being busy, the free dinner offered from Mon-Thurs was an extra added bonus too, free wine selections and beer craft on tap The ladies offered to take our plates it was next level service

The cleanliness of the hotel was amazing only down fall was the fact that house keeping is only offered on certain days unless you request it with 24hours notice No daily house keeping Parking was $18 per day Another issue I had was they only had one set of elevators so if your room is on the other side of the building it was a far walk to the elevators There was stairs but it could be an issue if you have to carry things up etc overall nice hotel

We found this gem of a place because our flight got cancelled at LAX at 11 pm and Bluestem was the only hotel that had open spots that night We were lucky enough to snatch their last room Upon arrival the check in was super fast and easy and we were offered complementary snacks and drinks to help cheer us up!The place is lovely, very artistic ambiance and atmosphere

There is a terrace that is accessible to guests 24/7 which is warmed up by fire and cooled down by a beautiful water fountain during the dayThe rooms were clean and very cozy They have everything you need The only thing that could use a little improvement is the wifi speed The rooms have coffee/tea and you have access to a microwave in the lobbyLast but not the least, the staff were wonderful Can’t say enough about how kind and accommodating they were I highly recommend this place to everyone

Mikayla Cooley

Great hotel for the price Customer service was amazing Parking was a bit hard on weekends but we always figured it out

The stalls are just super tiny The rooms were very clean My socks and feet did get dirty walking around the room so I recommend them mopping daily or for the hotel to leave swifter sweepers in the rooms for guests Definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to stay somewhere clean and safe and not pay a fortune

Heather Benedict

A boutique hotel with exceptional service, comfortable and clean rooms, free parking, free coffee, and exceptionally cordial and accommodating staff Comfortable, professional, 5 stars! This review comes from a former Four Seasons Hotel front desk agent, would say you get a good bang for your buck here, 5 star service for a fraction of the price!

Tess German

Such an Exquisite Hotel and Grandeur presence Entire hotel immaculate and rooms are well appointed I like that the sink is outside/separate of the shower and toilet area

The shutter that divides the two beds is a genius idea The decor is elegant and traditional but yet felt modern The room size was massive for a standard double room It felt like a 500 sq ft room The coffee in the room was very goodUnfortunately, we only stayed one day and arrived late so we didn’t get to eat at the restaurant or enjoyed the outside courtyard nor the many areas to explore and to just relax and soak in the atmosphere We did, however, get to enjoy the fireplace while having a late night snack I would highly recommend eating at the restaurant as the food smelled heavenly Additionally, there are many shopping centers/plaza across the street which we didn’t get to take advantage of as well The entire area is completely safe and very well lit as it is a very lively town The hotel does have a private parking for a fee I will definitely come back and stay longer

Lisa Ford

Ayres Hotel is comfortable and homely Staff are friendly and we loved the pool and spa Rooms were serviced daily and everything was spotlessly clean and today

Location is good, next time I would ask for a room not overlooking the freeway Stayed here with my husband and adult son Plenty of room for the three of us and privacy between the beds and the shutters were a great idea We will be back!

Lynne Henley

The employee that was on the desk the night of my arrival was very professional and he greeted me with a sincere and warm welcome I was so exhausted from the work day, that he had to literally verbally guide me to my room The room was exceptionally clean throughout which made the night very relaxing for me

I will truly recommend this hotel to my guest and use it again for local retreats

This is the second time staying here and I plan on booking again in the future! The staff is always friendly and the cleaning staff is just wonderful and kind! The first time there was a different variety every other day for breakfast This time unfortunately it was the same stuff everyday and I would rather not warm my frozen food with the plastic on it in a microwave but that seemed to be the only option they have now And the washer/dryer definitely need an update

Other then that it was great as usual Again I want to applaud the GREAT staff!

Gwen

Check in was a breeze, I got there early and it wasn’t a problemThe beds were to low and to soft forThere were several outlets near the bed which is a plus due to medical equipmentThis hotel is near the freeway and close to several restaurants

There were too many compact parking spaces which is minor but can be inconvenient if coming in late and you have to walk around the building by yourselfI didn’t eat breakfast I only seen pork products however I did like the fact that it was individually wrapped There were bagels and other stuff but we passedEveryone that I came in contact with was very nice and helpful Even though the bed wasn’t for me but the location is everything I would stay again

Ben C

Great for a short stayFrom bad to good

The bad 1) Our air didn’t work Hot or cold 2) Our room was not serviced or cleaned I’m not sure if we had to request this But most hotels (even small motels) do this automaticallyNot a deal breaker but worth noting 1) Small continental breakfast 2) Bad location for the TV It was in the middle of where the bed was and the couch was So bad angle and hurts your neck after a whileGood 1) The beds were extremely comfortable 2) Staff was nice and courteous 3) Good hotel location 4) Fair pricing 5) Pretty quiet for a hotel so close to the airport 6) Air purifier in the room adds a nice touch 7) Desk was perfect to get some work done

We stayed in the private room and had very mixed feelings about the placeLocation: we loved the location during the day It was super convenient, and we loved walking all around OB

Unfortunately at night it was so loud it was impossible to sleep There is no A/C, so you have to leave the windows open The entire room was shaking from the noise until at least 2amCleanliness: the sheets seemed to be freshly laundered but as we were leaving, we found trash from a previous visitor under the bed The bathroom was decently clean but definitely not the most clean hostel I’ve ever stayed atComfort: this is where we had the biggest problem The bed was rock hard I’m not sure if they had other rooms available because they charge $20 to change rooms after check inJust another thing to be aware of They have a policy where you can’t have anything but water in your room Not a huge deal, but we do enjoy takeout occasionally after a long day of traveling, so it was a bit annoyingOverall we wouldn’t stay there again, but you won’t find anything as cheap in the area

Anthony Tilley

First, Fantastic location! If you’re going to be up partying all night then this is the place for you The downside is that the hostel is literally over a live music bar that plays all night so if you are more of an early riser then maybe look elsewhere The bed and walls vibrated with music, ear plugs are not enough

Also the private room wasn’t as clean as I would have hoped but not terrible compared to other hostels

John Ryan Barnhart

Surf City Hostel features two separate lounge areas, a communal bathroom + showers, plus one and a half that are private if that’s more your preference (body wash + shampoo are included free of charge) I felt super safe and secure in the hostel as the front/back entrance are closed in the evening and reception is open until 2:00am There is a locked luggage storage room and lockers located inside each room

The whole hostel is cleaned daily The wifi was fast enough to work remotely and complete my schoolwork There are bars, restaurants, and cafes all centrally-located right below the hostelAngelica was inviting and welcoming, she knew every answer to any question about activities & happenings in the area Audrey is an absolute customer service master – she always has fun stories and informational tidbits to make the most out of your stay All of the volunteers were an absolute pleasure in every way and meeting them offered a chance to learn about different cultures and languages (I learned a bit of French during my stay, and was able to practice my Spanish) 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy their stay away from home Thanks Surf City Hostel, maybe next time I will actually go surfing 😉
