Superb

I love to stay here at Surf and Sand. The location is excellent, right on the walkway, unobstructed view of ocean and sunset. Balconies are the most comfortable viewing compared to 3 others I have stayed at near. Highly recommend, and a quick drive to anywhere in Fort Bragg.

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff gave away our room to another guest before we arrived. She was going to make the other guest change rooms and have housekeeping come back to clean it. We agreed to accept a different room without the upgrades, then she started saying we hadn’t paid for the upgrades anyway. She was initially apologetic then started making up stories. The rooms were beautiful and very close to the beach. The staff was unfriendly and unpleasant.
