Super cute hotel. Clean, efficiently designed rooms. The shower is a stand-alone in the room, which has a separate water closet. The bed was quite comfortable but lower to the floor than a standard bed, almost futon height. Very helpful staff. I arrived very late (1AM) and was still able to check in. Uber tiny parking lot, but street parking is plentiful and free on Sundays. It's almost on the beach, literally steps away. Nearby are a supermarket, fuel, small eateries, and a 7-11, which is helpful for early morning caffeine infusions.

A lovely place to relax and rest. Direct Access to the Beach. Less than a five minute walk. A great getaway for couples. Staff checked us in even though i arrived late. Parking garage gets packed quick but there is additonal street parking and rear parking. Laid back vibe and very clean and coffee in the morning. Thanks for the hospitality Ocean Surf Inn & Suites. We will visit again

This is a place you put on your map for times when you're in the neighborhood. We've been staying up north at the foot of the San Gabriels and the weather has been mercilessly hot, like you don't touch the steering wheel of your car in the middle of the day. Screw that. Headed to the coast for the weekend, just in time for the US Open of the International Surfing competition, this being the largest such event in the world for this circuit. i was misinformed that there would be a big wave event so i didn't bother getting my board off the car (lol). Hey Mavericks happens too but nothing like that in HB, surf city is strictly for the scene and the waves are polite all things considered. Most of the old surfer motels i used to stay at along pch are long gone in HB today, replaced by the usual array of big chain hotels. But just up the road in sunset bch is this place which is the best low priced (well, approx 250 or so/nite which is a deal on weekends) motel i've seen lately, other than those in the middle of the the cultural meltdown that makes up most of los angeles, way better than airbnb anywhere around here. Good local restaurants if you don't feel like driving, and as for that when you're here there's a parking spot for you. great wide beach about 100 yards away. Shaun the GM is great at what he does, I don't know what's with the comments that he's rude, no way no how, this guy had as much information and goodwill as you could ever ask for. best of all, about a block away on pch is a real friendly surfer bar, more fun in a meet up with girls hanging outside for half an hour than in an entire evening in one of the sophisto bars in my home neighborhood. all this plus that big unfathomable pacific ocean timelessly hulking and heaving a block away makes me think maybe i've been in northern california way too long now.

We visited Long Beach in April 2023 and chose Ocean Surf Inn as our hotel. We had covered parking but there were enough spaces on the street if the lot was full. The room was simple but very clean. We had a nice porch with a view of the ocean from across the street. There are houses there but you could still see ocean liners in the distance. They have a nice rooftop area for guests with chairs and tables. It was a very easy walk to the beach. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. An easy drive to long beach, seal beach and Huntington beach.They had plenty of grab and go breakfast food and coffee available for guests. We were pleased and would stay again.

This is an awesome little place to stay.... A 100' from the beach, beautiful views of the ocean and the city. And probably the nicest most accommodating Hotel manager you'll ever meet.We had very tricky Scheduling due to arriving back from a cruise, He was very accommodating and getting us into a room early so we could enjoy the rest of our trip... Highly recommend this place, they even include the beach towels and beach toys that you Can borrow.... Can't wait to go down and see them againOne recommendation, wear sunscreen

This place was good for one night. Rooms are much nicer and cleaner than the outside of the building. Nice and safe location. The rooms are pretty spacious as well. The front manager was to the point and slightly rude (Shaun?) Pillows were super lumpy and uncomfortable. I'd stay for 1-2 nights but no more. We were there when it was really rainy (probably not typical) but the underground garage really floods - should prob put a drain on there.

Not quite the same as the last time we stayed here before Covid. Still a very clean place. They have remodeled and the Beds are very hard to sleep on. Toiletries were very low quality so bring your own. All in all not a horrible place to stay if your just coming to the beach, just don't come to sleep and relax in the hotel..

Love this hotel!!!As we are still not allowed back into our residence due to a construction incident that left our unit heavily damaged with no power, we've been staying in hotels for a few days. Needing a room for the night I called this Inn and was in contact with Ralph.Ralph was awesome and helped us get the best room so far during this difficult time.Our room was AWESOME!!! The room was Clean and and the bed was comfortable, the view was outstanding, and when we went for a walk to get dinner we didn't have to cross PCH which can be dangerous sometimes. Our suite had a jacuzzi in it which helped our stressed out bodies.The shower had great water pressure and plenty hot water. This hotel has a awesome rooftop lounge that has the best views!!The hotel provided a free grab and go breakfast that had muffins, coffee, cereals etc. it was much appreciated. We really enjoyed our stay here. Many thanks to Ralph for being awesome person and helping us through this trying time.Today we find out if our place passed inspection and we'll be allowed back in. If we don't get let in we'll be back!!Thank you Ralph.

Followers, friends and anyone else who wants to read what I have to say, I don't recommend Ocean Surf Inn and & Suites AT ALL!!!! I have no idea how this place has 4 stars. Found this place on a third party website...if it wasn't for third party websites, I would never have found some of the greatest Mom and Pop places around the world. One would think a business would be delighted to offer discounted prices AND use the opportunity to attract potentially repeat customers...Sighhh...this place was a huge miss. Often, third party websites require a customer to pay at the time of booking. This time, I wasn't required to pay in advance. I was able to book and pay upon arrival..I booked a room at this place for 3 nights at the advertised price, (which was a bit high, however it was a 3 day weekend.)We arrived at 2:50pm the day of our reservation.We were told it was going to be another 40min for our room to be ready....UMMMMM...ok....what happened to 3pm check in??? Whatever... we waited. After 40 minutes, we met with the person I presumed to be the innkeeper. He took my payment in full, secured a deposit on my credit card, handed us the keys to our room and a parking pass.After the long drive and waiting in the heat, we were anxious to unload our bags and freshen up before our evening obligations. Grrrrr...this guy gave us the worst room in the whole place. I felt like I was in the storage room. No ocean breeze, (no breeze at ALL), view of a neighboring door and a wall, and the chemical fumes from the room just being cleaned were noxious. I went down to speak with the Innkeeper who graciously allowed us to change to a room with an ocean breeze and patio. Alas, this room was only available for 2/3 nights we had planned to stay. It was agreed I would change to another room or shorten my trip to just 2 nights if the room continued to be unavailable on our 3rd night. I offered to pay any additional fees for the patio room and the innkeeper declined.The clean, made up room with no chemical smells, a patio and a breeze was a reasonable alternative and it was available now! Alas, the room didn't have a lock on the door, the towels were worn thin, the screen door took some muscle to move and there was something under the bathroom sink that resembled a rodent dropping. The morning after our second night, I went downstairs to speak with the office staff. The gentleman I had been working with previously was not available, but a female staff was in his place. This lovely woman reported the innkeeper could not be reached. After looking at her schedule she offered me a room with a view upstairs. I had already decided if I had to move rooms, I would just go home; I didn't want the hassle. Ultimately she agreed we could stay in our established room for the 3rd night. She asked if we wanted housekeeping services today and it was agreed, we would stay in the established room, receive maid service and check out the next day. No extra charges were discussed or taken at this time. Fast forward to 7pm...our keys had been deactivated and we couldn't even get into the building. Are you KIDDING ME??? I called the innkeeper who informed me our keys had indeed been deactivated because the issue of the 3rd night had not been resolved. He instructed me to meet him at the garage entrance to the building. When we explained the conversation with the morning staff, he reported the morning staff should not have given permission for us to stay in the room...because it was only her second day. Additionally, he had entered the room, found our stuff "all over the place." The bottom line was this guy was hijacking's us and our stuff for an additional $71.49. Only then would h reactivate our keys. I couldn't have felt more swindled...My efforts to argue were fruitless...he stated, "it was only her second day...I need at least one day off, you should have talked to me anyway." (Nice...don't back up your staff...) Fine...I was too tired and worn out to argue so I paid the extra $71.49. So all and al
