What guests say
7.7 / 10 · Good on Booking.com, from 767 guest reviews
The Monterey Surf Inn consistently wins guests over with its cleanliness, comfortable beds, convenient location, and genuine value for money — particularly appreciated by budget-conscious travellers who aren't expecting luxury. However, recurring practical issues including weak shower pressure, a tight parking lot, small rooms, and missing basic amenities like hairdryers and in-room coffee keep it from being a standout stay.
