The accommodation is also not far from the Pacific Ocean. This hotel is situated approximately a 10-minute drive from the San Simeon Pier.

Eat & Drink

The neighbourhood features restaurants, including Carriage Restaurant, which is just near the Silver Surf Motel San Simeon.

Leisure & Business

“This motel benefits from a location close to the coast, providing sunset views from the hot tub during certain times of the year. Situated near a diner and seafood restaurant, it also offers proximity to Morro Bay and the elephant seals. While under new management with improvements, reports suggest that some guests have experienced issues with the front desk service and cleanliness of some of the installations.”
