We had a lovely stay with our grandchild. The room was modern and fresh. The beach access made for some fantastic family fun. The price was right too, making it a wonderful getaway for us all.

My kids wished there were more family-friendly dining options nearby.

Had an awesome time with friends! We visited Hearst Castle and the Elephant Rookery, both super close. Our room was clean and comfy. We enjoyed the pool. Staff were friendly and gave us dinner coupons for the restaurant next door. Highly recommend for a fun trip!

Just a heads-up, the TV remote situation was tricky for us. we struggled with two remotes.

I enjoyed my stay at Silver Surf Motel, where the clean, comfortable room offered a stunning view. Despite a minor issue with noisy neighbors, the serene atmosphere made it worthwhile. The location is fantastic, close to Hearst Castle and beautiful beaches. I will certainly return!

Clean, comfortable room offering stunning views, just a few minutes from the beach. The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Unfortunately, a noisy neighbor disrupted the first night of our stay. We also missed out on trying the delicious buttery croissants in the morning. Despite these hiccups, the excellent location and warm service make this a place I would happily return to.

i had a fantastic stay at silver surf motel! the room was super spacious, clean, and the bed was the most comfortable i've ever slept on while traveling. it's also just a short drive to hearst castle and big sur, which was perfect. the indoor heated pool was a nice bonus for relaxation!

totally recommend

fantastic beach access and close to elephant seal viewing

I really enjoyed how the hotel was just a short 500 meters from the beach, making it super convenient for my evening strolls, and I also loved being only a 5-minute drive from the elephant seal viewing area which was an incredible experience. As a single traveler, I appreciated the spacious accommodations and comfortable bed, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the nearby landmarks.

Comfortable room, friendly staff, with a convenient location near the beach and free Wi-Fi in rooms, which made our stay very enjoyable.

No upgrades available despite being a Genius reward member.

We checked out Hearst Castle and Cambria while staying here. The room was comfortable, and it had a nice pool and a balcony—perfect for relaxing in the evening. It's close to restaurants and attractions, so you'll have everything you need nearby for a fun trip.

The only downside was figuring out how to get to our room from the parking lot—it was a bit confusing and felt unkempt. I wouldn't let that ruin the experience, though.

would love to go back

Room was spacious and clean. Equipped with a microwave and a fridge that was bigger than your usual mini-fridge. Enjoyed the comfy bed, and bathroom had a modern touch. Close to Hearst Castle and beach access. Several awesome restaurants within walking distance. The staff was super friendly and kept the grounds well-maintained. Would stay again!

The room had a nice big television and also a ceiling fan help keep me cool. The grass area outside my room was a nice touch, perfect to relax and unwind after a long day.

Wasn't exactly the cheapest I've seen but for what I got, it was still reasonable.

A comfortable stay with clean, well-cared-for rooms that include a refrigerator and microwave, perfect for grab-and-go meals. The balcony offered a nice touch, though it was too cold to enjoy during the visit. Located conveniently near some local eateries, though grocery options are scarce, so plan ahead to stock up. Dining options felt a bit pricey, which might deter budget travelers.

The location is fantastic, just across the street from the beach and close to notable attractions like Hearst Castle. The room was clean and updated, providing a comfortable stay, although the body wash was nearly empty. Late-night check-in was a bit stressful as no one was at the desk when we arrived, and having to drop off the key without a staff member present added some anxiety.

Enjoyed exploring Hearst Castle and bouncing around the local beaches. The pool looked fun, though we didn’t dive in. It’s a solid spot for a night with spacious and clean rooms, just be prepared for some highway noise if you’re on the lower floor.

One thing that was a bit of a downer was the lack of air conditioning. While we managed with open windows, the highway sounds were noticeable. Just something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to noise.
