MICHELLE

This used to be our go to when visiting fort Bragg. Not sure if it is under new management or ownership but this trip made us think twice about staying here in the future. Front desk staff was rude, and when checking in after the 4pm time, several people in front of me were told their rooms were not yet ready. Outside trash cans were overflowing the entire 3 days we were there. We were only given 1 roll of toilet paper. Called for more and it never came. There were also people sleeping in a mini van back by the dog run/fire pit areas, made me very uncomfortable. We will be exploring other options on our next visit unfortunately.

Bed was ok, pillows leave something to desire, sink was plugged, which we did report and hope fixed for next customer. Did not have any of the food. We have stayed here prior and have been happy but, this time, not as happy!

Other reviews seemed hit or miss on this place. We took a chance and glad we did. For the price, it exceeded our expectations. Was clean and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if ever in the area.

Spend a bit more for a better stay elsewhere.

I recently stayed at The Surf Hotel and Gardens in Fort Bragg and was disappointed with the overall experience. The carpet in the room was filthy, and the drapes were missing hooks, so I had to use a pin just to keep them closed at night—definitely not what you'd expect, even from a budget stay. On a positive note, the room itself was a decent size and the hotel is conveniently located near many local attractions, which made exploring the area easy. The breakfast was basic continental style: toast, cereal, packaged muffins, and fruit. Nothing special, but it did the job. Overall, cleanliness and maintenance were lacking, and I would not choose to stay here again.

Very clean, nostalgic feel and friendly. Close to town but not in town. The gardens are great for an evening stroll, glass of wine or just to visit with friends. I would definitely stay there again. The free breakfast is minimal, but still free, no complaints here at all.
