10/10 Exceptional

We were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of this Inn. The beds were comfortable, and the shower had nice hot water. Everyone we spoke with was very friendly and all requests for items were brought to the room quickly. We would stay here again.

Clean & Affordable

Clean and affordable. I needed it to stay while visiting my son at college. It's a motel but it's clean and quiet. I would stay again.

Overnight visit

Just stayed one night. The street was pretty noisy. The blanket was thin and there were no additional blankets in the room.

Excellent service

You never know what will happen traveling with children. They went above and beyond to help us with all our needs! Never acted like we were a bother.
Janice, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would love to have a later check out option. Only gave us 15 minutes which was nice but not enough when we needed the extra time due to stomach issues.

Location!
Sherry, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The new renovations were a bonus - and a very comfortable bed. Rude guests making noise with their children and a party truck at 11pm ruined the calm and quiet accommodations - but this wasn't the fault of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful upon check in. I would encourage travelers to consider the Dune Surfer Inn if they are in the area.

Its in a great safe location. There's a store right next to it and a Mexican restaurant across the street. Its walking distance to the Oceano beach/Dunes.

Definitely a diamond in the rough. Came to hit the dunes and enjoy the beach so we only really slept in the room. The staff was courteous, the room was clean, and we got what we expected. Big thanks for accommodating a downstairs room!

Stay here!

The best staff ever. Josh was amazing. He's kind with great recommendations. My wife left an Apple airpod in the sheets and they called us.

2/10 Poor

Smallest least comfortable room.

Smallest room ever. One chair, no desk or table. Asked for a second chair. Grudgingly gave us a second very odd uncomfortable chair. No closet! Not one single hook anywhere to hang ANYTHING. inadequate lighting. Fan in bathroom needs replacing. Rattles and bangs. Only 2 paper cups for drinks and coffee. Not enough plugins for phones and chargers. No ice machine. Manager unfriendly. Young lady who checked me in was very pleasant. Room not cleaned between the two days of our stay. Asked for a do not disturb sign thinking they might actually clean the room each day which they did not. Grumpily told they didn’t have any such thing. Only positive was it was a clean room when we arrived.
