Second time visiting. Great location. Rooms are small but designed so they feel bigger with ample space for a single, like me. I really liked the “grab and go” breakfast. Jade, the manager, is terrific!

The Surf Inn is a great place to stay. We enjoyed the quiet and quaint room that we stayed in. The office manager, Jade, was warm and friendly. She went the extra mile to suggest places for us to visit on our way up to Fort Bragg. Also, the state-of-the-art coffee machine in the lobby brews delicious flavored coffee! I will definitely stay here again in the future.

What a great place! We loved the stay here, the nice walk to the beach overlook was a great way to relax both at dusk and dawn. Staff was super friendly, helpful and attentive. Of all our hotels on this trip (we stayed at 5 different ones), this place truly offered a "breakfast". Unbelievable selection that should have something for anyone. I didn't appreciate it at the time but again, after all the different places that offered "breakfast included", the Surf Inn was the only one that should be allowed to say that. Thank you for a great stay and making us feel welcomed!

While this is a small property and rooms are not large it is a very nice property. Rooms are clean and comfortable and staff is very pleasant. We enjoyed our stay very much. They have also put back into place a nice grab and go breakfast with quite a few options.

I've never stayed here before. We usually rent a home. But this time we were in town for only one night. So we thought we would try a motel. The manager, Jade, was the nicest person. She made it clear that she wanted us to have the best stay and made sure that we knew where everything was. The whole property was very clean. All rooms allow dogs, but you would never know it by the cleanliness. Walked next door or across the street for anything we needed. Very convenient and friendly.

Love staying at the Surf Inn. Close to everything in Gualala with a stunning view out the back! The manager was very helpful when I had to move my stay at the last minute and was able to accommodate the change.
