The Best Western Surf City is a typical motel described as nice, cozy, and overall okay. It is noted for having pretty big, clean, and spacious rooms, with some described as very updated with a modern appeal. The property is clean and well-managed with friendly staff. Guests highlight the free homemade breakfast as having good choices, with some calling it the best they have ever had at a hotel. Amenities include a great hot tub. The location is close to many fast food restaurants and is about eight minutes from Huntington Beach, with a bus available to take guests to the beach and other scenic areas. It is also right next to a daycare. However, some rooms, particularly on the ground floor, can be very dark. The floor and furniture in some units are already pretty aged. The air conditioning, while working great, can be a little loud. Noise from neighboring rooms or above can sometimes be heard. Some guests feel the hotel is a bit expensive compared to other nearby places with more amenities and note the lack of a guest laundry room. The location is considered okay, but some would not feel real safe taking a walk at night in that area. It is recommended to book through an outside service to save money unless using the hotel's points system. The hotel has a strict no-smoking policy near the building.
