Didn't realize that my room was down the road away from main lodging building. Poor design of room... bathroom tiny, living room tiny and not very useful. Maybe, increase bathroom size and eliminate the useless living room??

While the location was ideal and the beach access and attendant at the beach were wonderful, the overall experience was not great. Even though they describe the rooms as small on the website, it is even smaller in person and the condition of the room was poor with many issues. The customer service was only ok and it didn’t feel like the experience was worth it for the price.

The staff was kind and helpful and the room and property were nicely kept. Our bed was a bit uncomfortable and it was a bit challenging to unlock our door at first, but otherwise we had a great time and would go back again.

The rooms were small but comfortable, the air conditioning worked great, tv was good. 5 minute walk from the ferry which was convenient. Hotel staff was friendly. We unfortunately were awakened three times during our stay by teenagers banging on our door and running down the fire escape stairs to get away. Food at the Surf was great but we didn’t enjoy dining on paper plates with plastic forks. Overall a nice time we spent our days at Ballard’s beach as the water and sand was cleaner.

Staff is amazing. Dedicated to its customers. Shout out to Christi on how she handled our stay. She deserves a promotion. Ryam GM did great as well. Tish and Georgiana at the front desk were friendly, clam, and supportive. We got the wrong room assigned by Expedia, and BIBH had to fix it and well they did the best job they could....however Expedia messed up.
