Overall Ratings & Reviews Ocean Surf Inn & Suites

Very nice property. Very close to the beach

Property qas old but good ennough to lay your head after long days of hanging out touring the beaches. Management was very nice and welcoming.

Steps to the ocean and breakfast included! Will stay again & again. Rooftop deck for coffee and walkable restaurants, great location.

Amazing place to stay on beach in Southern California!

Sean at front desk was very accommodating to our requests and made the stay super relaxing. Will definitely come back.

Parking was a bit challenging but overall very nice property. Close to beach Nice room with comfortable bed, clean

piace very average

The property was okay, room and bathroom felt outdated. Close access to the beach.

Friendly. Nice room.

breakfast is rationed and i felt guilty getting my kids both pancakes with cereal. had a hair in the pancake so glad i got them something else. not self serve like other hotels. window in room was left open and no screen on it. brought a couple bugs and dust in. mold in the bathroom shower and missing tiles on the bathroom wall towels are older. parking was almost unattainable at the hotel however parking on the street was easy to get walked to the beach which was awesome and brought toys from the hotel with us. the male owner was very nice. overall this visit was not as comfortable as my first time here

pls. note that the first day of the stay was great due to a female staff named Leslie - not sure how to spell. she was welcoming, provides door to door services, friendly, Next day so called manager Sean arrives. very rac*st against non-white, refuses to provide service door to door, rude when asked. the owner needs to be told that this live-in manager refuses to be bothered with service request that is known to be part of the job he is being paid for. despite being paid to provide service like replacing items or toilet paper, he responds rudely when asked. this inn is in a beautiful place across the beach. but if you all want a pleasant experience, ask when only Leslie will be working. or find another place. btw do not believe the free breakfast they tack in their description. by this manager's bidding, they ration food like guests are in a gradeschool lunchline. only 2 tiny pieces of pancakes n no more. there is no breakfast spot after you get your little tray on line. they charge too much for this lousy service. STAY AWAY if you want a relaxing vacation.

Excellent place to stay conveniently close to beach, restaurants and shopping! Morning breakfast offering is great. Great terra e roof seating area with beautiful views. Very family friendly would recommend to all!

Shaun was amazing, it was quiet, quaint and very much a great beach stay. Good coffee, nice breakfast wonderful friendly staff. We will stay again on our next visit to SealBeach

Spent my honeymoon with my wife for one night and it was amazing! They had secure parking my 55 Chevy! Way awesome!

Very nice place close to the beach!

Ocean surf inn has a prime location. Literally half a block from the beach, easy to get to with this access. The parking under the building was a nice bonus to keep vehicle out of the sun. Continental breakfast was a nice perk and loved the rooftop deck. It is a bit noisy, from people above our room as well as noisy near the elevator. Otherwise, we’d stay again for sure.

My view was into a wall just three feet away. Terrible experience. No sunlight or barely any daylight. Worst hotel I stayed in a long tkme

Great staff and great room and great view

Great location, friendly staff. The hotel is older but the staff is friendly and the rooftop patio is nice

It’s disheartening that someone like Shaun is the face of this hotel’s management and is also the one responding to reviews. I’ve since seen multiple reviews echoing the same concerns about his treatment of guests, yet nothing seems to change over the past few years. If he is indeed the owner, it’s even more disappointing—everyone deserves to be treated with respect, especially families who have saved and planned for a special getaway. The location and potential of this property are truly excellent, but until management changes or is held accountable, I sadly cannot recommend this hotel. Respect, kindness, and professionalism should be the baseline in hospitality—not the exception.
