Bethanne, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

There is a good opportunity for The Surf Motel to be a diamond in the rough, but it needs a serious deep clean: walls, corners, ceilings, etc! I can tell the housekeepers clean as there was a strong odor of bleach in the room. B there is more to cleanliness than smelling bleach. Jay, the front office representative was very helpful, and wonderful to do business with!

Convenient and clean motel near Waterfront

I stay at the Surf motel many a visit to SF. The staff is friendly, rooms are clean with some updates like laminate floors. It is well situated near the Embarcadero waterfront in SF. Great location and some good food nearby. It is helpful to be able to park in their parking lot with a parking tag as a guest.
