Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good
"Not the best area, but not terrible for the price, and the pool and hot tub are open until 10pm which is nice. Seemed like a lot of "street business" was being conducted around the property and of course the usual fighting/screaming couples was ever present. Also, the sink in the bathroom was clogged and wouldn't drain properly due to who knows what was dumped down it previously, so I had to clear that myself which was a little disgusting"

"My biggest question would be why on earth are the towels grey…? They don’t look clean even if they are, but also they don’t look like the color is intentionally chosen… they’re pale grey and look as though they just don’t get washed properly."

Bella Notte

Bella Notte

10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed at the Bella Notte several times before but the experience was new this time. Rooms and the property have received a refresh, with clean, contemporary decor. Beautiful large room with kitchenette, well appointed, large shower. My room was on the second floor, closest to the street, yet the noise was not noticeable. It was quiet and peaceful. This, as well as the incredibly comfortable bed, led to a very restful and comfortable night’s sleep. The new hostless check-in system worked just fine and communication from the property manager was complete and very clear. Price for the Monday night stay was incredibly reasonable for the high quality of the room. Easy walking distance to the beach. Highly recommend for a stay with easy access to amenities and local sights. Walking distance to coffee, restaurants as well."
