The room was clean and spacious. Ideal for our one night stay. Pillows were high and firm - uncomfortable for me but ok for others. Next to a main road but generally quiet.

Much nicer (and often cheaper) than the discount motels on North Fremont. Your neighbors here are families, quiet and polite. A nice change from the mentally ill druggies that stay up on North Fremont. Surf Lodge is walking distance to downtown Monterey. Don't forget to visit Red's Donuts and the Paris Bakery Cafe in the morning.

Everything about this hotel was great the staff, air conditioning, heating, good bed and tv, a fully functional bathroom. All the pictures online looked good and in real life it was. I also think it was exceptional to see that they had solar renewable energy. I highly recommend this place.
