Surf City Inn and Suites

Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good
"Easy late night check in using a virtual employee. We liked it had a full kitchen but there were not instructions if they offered any pots/pans or plates/utensils we didn’t use the kitchen since it was just a quick 1-night stay. 2 towel rods were broken off. Sadly a large rusted chip in the tub so i couldn’t use it to relax. They are pet friendly but don’t have a pet relief area."
