You get what you pay for. The bed frame was broken, plaster was coming off the ceiling, and the light fixtures were rusted.

Average hotel
It was average, the heater was not working we were offered a small portable heater, the front door to the room was missing the bottom weather stripping therefore, more cold air came through gap at the bottom of the door. Otherwise, okay.

A good affordable motel.
The Surf Motel was very accommodating in re-arranging the dates of my stay. The front desk staff was also very helpful. The rooms were clean and well organized. The motel also had secured parking. The rates were also very affordable. I would definitely stay there again.

SCUM OF hotel's in SF is SURF HOTEL Lumbar
We asked for room service to have our room cleaned they did not grant us that wish we stayed there for 3 weeks without one day of getting the room service , their manager Jon was very disrespectful as we requested to have our room cleaned ; he told us that the hotel was for people of lower class and if we didn't like the way they ran the hotel we could live that's what we did... ( NEVER GO HERE AGAIN OR USE THEM AND I ASK OF YOU NOT TO GO IF YOU WANT MY HONEST OPINION )

3 stars
The room was clean but the bathroom doesn't have an exhaust system that after taking a bath everything you hold on to is moist & wet. The bath towels are thin due to prolonged usage. There's no hair dryer no laundry facilities & request for room cleaning is not guaranteed. But as a whole I will give it 3 stars.

6/10 Good

We stayed in a deluxe room with 2 queen beds. The room was clean, and it was nice to have the extra space, a fridge, a microwave, and a small kitchen sink. However, there were only 4 hangers, no hair dryer and no coffee maker. I couldnt get the TV to show anything but the USA channel. There were no toiletries other than shampoo and soap attached to the wall of the shower. The bed was ok if you like a mattress that is somehow hard and squishy at the same time. Those who prefer flat, hard pillows will be in heaven. I asked the front desk for extra pillows and hangers, not once but twice, and they never brought any or got back to me. So I didnt see any point in asking for a hair dryer or a coffee maker. On the bright side, this is a good neighborhood for restaurants and coffee shops. This is not the worst hotel Ive stayed at, by a long shot. If the amenities and the customer service had been better, I would stay here again.
