Top William Randolph Hearst Memorial Beach Hotel Reviews

Silver Surf Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Hot tub was a little murky but we went in anyway and it was fine. Probably just had some sand or oil or something. Very basic hotel. No coffee in the lobby and the coffee machine in the room makes only very weak coffee. Walls are very thin -- motorcycles outside could be heard VERY clearly. Somebody was smoking weed outside our window or above us and the smell wafted in, which was gross but not the hotel's fault... The back parking lot has a bump that hit/scraped the bottom of my car. It was really inexpensive, especially for getting into the Big Sur area. We'd stay again, but with lower expectations."
