We enjoyed the comfortable bed, the beautiful view in the morning and the bar a short walk away. We enjoyed our short time here and we would come again to stay at this hotel.

The only thing that was wrong with the motel was the wall heater in the room was damaged and didn't work. It was very clean and the staff was very helpful. The view was amazing. You could walk across the street to the ocean.

Ordered 2 rooms adjacent. Got one in each end of the motel. Senior rates just forget. Staff not accommodating in any way

At first glance, this hotel looks just "okay." But it's way better than okay! The front desk employees are really lovely, nice people. The rooms are bigger than we expected, with super comfortable beds. The indoor pool is so charming and welcoming. Generally, this is a surprisingly great hotel, especially for the area and the price.

All hotels in this area are similiar. This motel was decent but run down. Ice maker was running and loud but did not make ice. Soft drink machines were all out of service. They needed some maintenance for sure. I would choose different next time. Location was good with many motels in same location. A few with indoor pools. Beach close enough to walk […] on either side of Highway 1. Not much in the way of service at Silver Surf. Again, for one night it is OK. More than that, I will spend a bit more next time. Read more

Very close to the sea. The yard and indoor pool is impressed. King-room space is satisfied, but some furniture and decoration need to be remodeled. However, we enjoy the one-night here along the west coast trip.

Hotel room was small but clean and neat. cross the street to walk over to the beach. Close to Hearst Castle but there's really nothing else around in San Simeon. Good hotel to rest your head before hitting the road again.

It wasn't horrendous like some two star places I've been, but there were some of the same discomforts...thin walls, noise, scratchy gym towels. The heater was a wall heater and the knob was such that it would go around more than once so you never knew what you were setting it at. We left for what we thought would be a brief time, and came back to a […] sauna! Tiny bit of mold growing in the crack of the shower---really tiny bathroom, no counter space...no hair dryer. We had to ask to have removed a roll away bed in the closet area where we wanted to hang our clothes. Plus side: Karaoke in the bar and grill a couple of doors down was surprisingly fun! Setting was nice with the courtyard in the center. Easy 5 minutes to Cambria. Read more

It's really a perfect location, but is not for the tech-savvy person. It is an older hotel with fidgety television and basic appliances. Comfortable for two when you want to spend an evening in the room, listening to the waves. I gave it a lower rating because this recent stay had an almost rude, unconversational woman at the check-in desk who had the […] office two or three times as hot as it was outside. Still one of my favorite destinations when you have a smaller budget. Read more

Great deal for a place to sleep. Not the most comfy bed but it worked.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We have stayed several times..the price is right and these are nice, involved owners who want you to have an enjoyable time. Family friendly place for high season and quiet for a quick getaway for locals on the off season. Nothing fancy...but everything you need is in the room. CLEAN!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was a perfect stay. Neat and tidy room, great service, nice amenities. The shower was a bit small...but we're all getting a little larger these days, aren't we? Perfect price for a visit to the elephant seals, the ocean, and shopping in Cambria.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Small but comfortable room, the heated indoor pool was great ! I would stay here again as the price is fair and you get more for your money... if I were to complain about anything it would be the small shower.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My room didn't have heater, I almost freeze and because of that I couldn't sleep.I will never go back there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good little motel close to Hearst Castle. Great rate.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We (my daughter and I), arrived early about 1230 and the front desk girl rudely said that check-in was at 3pm. Ok so we drove back to Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo and ran around. We arrived back later and checked into our room.

Incredible value for proximity to beach, clean warm room, pool, hot tub and daily room servicing!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall, the hotel was very nice. I didn't like that there was a wooden walkway at the front door because I could hear most everyone that walked by. But there aren't too many places off of CA-1 and San Simeon is near Hearst's Castle, which was one place I was told to visit while I was in California. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and it was […] right off of the highway. There didn't seem to be much to do in the town other than sleep and eat there before going either north to see the Castle or continuing south. The room was very nice, the bathroom was huge, the bed was comfortable. If I were driving by I would definitely stay here again. Read more

Good clean reasonably priced room. There is limited eating choices in this town so the microwave is good. We heated some cup noodle for a shack. We did not have time for the pool.

A little noisy on the weekend but otherwise great value and nice location by the beach.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel is comfortable but neighbouring rooms are very noisy. Bed was comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

a cozy place for spending the night in the middle of a trip. The neighborhood is quiet, and the place is really 5 min walk to the sea. We enjoyed our stay here. For what is more important, the price is really low. Thanks

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

For the price and location this is a good nights stay. Our room was clean, bed was comfortable as well as comfortable pillows. The water pressure was excellent and plenty of hot water. The only two issues are thin walls and thin, small bath towels. Overall good experience. I would stay again.

We stayed 2 nights and had a King size bed which made it close quarters with not much room to have anyone else in the room but it actually worked out well. It had a microwave and mini frig which was nice to pop corn and keep your beverage cool. There is a nice park area across the road which we went to in the evening and listened to the waves crashing […] and watched a beautiful sunset. Did not use the pool area so can't comment on that. Check-in/out was a breeze. Very close to Hearst Castle which is why we choose this location. Nothing fancy but the price was right for just sleeping. Read more

If you are looking for a low-budget place to rest your head, Silver Surf is perfect. While a much older hotel, the staff is friendly and the room was clean.

Room was very small and the soap had a nasty film on it. Take your own soap. Good thing about the hotel was that they gave you 4 comfy pillows.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Motel is 1960 design. Front desk service is just polite nothing much more.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

While I appreciate a nice hotel, I would rather pay less for something basic than pay more for something amazing. That said, I would definitely return to the Silver Surf Motel. I was a little wary with the mixed reviews but decided to take our chances with a local joint instead of the usual value chain and I'm glad I did. Our room was neat and clean, […] the bathroom was almost entirely remodeled, and the bed was comfortable. I even took a 20 minute shower and the hot water never faltered. I had three separate experiences with the staff and each time, they were efficient and accomodating. My only complaint was that when kids were outside, you could hear them almost as clearly as if they were in our room but other than that, no problems. So overall, unless you are a very serious hotel snob, I can't imagine you wouldn't be pleased with your stay here. Read more

We were very disappointed in the matter on the WIFI that was at the motel. It didn't work most of the time. It said we were connected but with limited internet access. Which isn't worth anything when you can't do anything with it. Tried to use their complimentary computer in the lobby and couldn't get on the internet there either. When I asked the staff […] at the front desk about it they denied there was any problem and wasn't any help at all. So if you plan to using the WIFI during your stay you won't be happy. Read more

Stayed one night to go to the Hearst castle. Perfect for somewhere to just lay your head.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was outdated. TV reception was horrible. It's like being linked to a rabbit antenna. You wouldn't even want to touch the furniture. My son saw an animal dropping on the carpet. The sugars and creams they put on the cup for the customers, some of them were already used. The cleaning people didn't even bother to check it. My wife saw the cleaning […] people making rounds, all they have is a bucket of cleaning equipment. Unlike other motels where they have big carts of supply that they push. These kind of people should attend a seminar on how to run a motel. I will never stay in this place again even if it's close to the Hearst castle. Read more

The hotel did the trick, definitely is a budget hotel. Initially we had a bottom floor room, then someone took a room upstairs and it was VERY noisy (from simply walking around, normal speaking voices. When I nicely asked for an upstairs room, I received a real attitude from hotel management.

Great place to stay - don't miss the indoor pool !

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Our room was on the second floor and there wasn't an elevator -- only rickety wooden stairs kind of difficult to maneuver. Room was clean with microwave, coffee. TV was old school, but worked OK. There was a bus tour one night and there was a bit of noise in the courtyard but all was quiet after 10 pm.. Huge grassy area with picnic tables and a fountain […] -- did not use the indoor pool or hot tub due to time constraints. Needs a paint job, and the screen on the balcony fell off, but was fixed promptly when requested. Mini-mart liquor store 1 block away. Bar and restaurant next door with Karioke was fun. Read more

I would not stay here ever again. Very depressing very rude man behind counter when you check in. The place is awful

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The walls are super thin and I could hear all of my neighbors. When I asked for a rollaway the clerk told me it was $15.95 cash only. I had a king and a lady walked in who had a double. She wanted the King and I wanted the double, and the clerk said that we could not switch rooms because my room was prepaid. I offered to pay the difference and he said […] he could not do it. I had a nonsmoking room and it smelled like smoke. The pink shower was not very clean. The book in the room detialing the narby restaraunts and attractions was worn out and dirty. The trashcans in the hallways were filthy from cigarette butts and the entire place looked old and worn down The place was cheap but I still felt cheated, and I was embarassed that I had chosen this place.

All was fine except I was disappointed by the small pool which people had to go outdoors to get to. The jacuzzi didn't look too good.
