We paid $187 for one night for a queen size room. Thec first thing I noticed was how dirty the door was to the room. They put us in a 2 bedroom room which that's not what we booked, the smell of the room was awful ! I was trying not to gag from the smell. We would've went somewhere else but all other places were full! The beds were so hard my shoulder hurt in the morning from it. All the baseboards were dirty, there was graffiti in the bathroom. There was writing all over the guest booklet. The remote did not work. The wifi they gave us did not work at all. For as much as we paid for one night it was awful. The smell was the worst part, I had to go buy a candle to help cover it up. They did have a fire pit outside at night and a dog park. They should really consider cleaning the place up. Maybe putting in some different flooring because I'm sure it was dog pee smell from the carpets !

This used to be our go to when visiting fort Bragg. Not sure if it is under new management or ownership but this trip made us think twice about staying here in the future. Front desk staff was rude, and when checking in after the 4pm time, several people in front of me were told their rooms were not yet ready. Outside trash cans were overflowing the entire 3 days we were there. We were only given 1 roll of toilet paper. Called for more and it never came. There were also people sleeping in a mini van back by the dog run/fire pit areas, made me very uncomfortable. We will be exploring other options on our next visit unfortunately.

Bed was ok, pillows leave something to desire, sink was plugged, which we did report and hope fixed for next customer. Did not have any of the food. We have stayed here prior and have been happy but, this time, not as happy!

Other reviews seemed hit or miss on this place. We took a chance and glad we did. For the price, it exceeded our expectations. Was clean and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if ever in the area.

Spend a bit more for a better stay elsewhere.

I recently stayed at The Surf Hotel and Gardens in Fort Bragg and was disappointed with the overall experience. The carpet in the room was filthy, and the drapes were missing hooks, so I had to use a pin just to keep them closed at night—definitely not what you'd expect, even from a budget stay. On a positive note, the room itself was a decent size and the hotel is conveniently located near many local attractions, which made exploring the area easy. The breakfast was basic continental style: toast, cereal, packaged muffins, and fruit. Nothing special, but it did the job. Overall, cleanliness and maintenance were lacking, and I would not choose to stay here again.
