Stay In San Simeon
The stay was good, the hotel had everything we needed. It was an older hotel that had been remodeled. Would come back again if traveling through here in the future.

Absolute must!!
Great place to stay! This was the first place I have stayed in for years that was absolutely clean!!!!! Nice hotel management as well 🤗 lots of grass and it provided an area just to sit and relax in the evening with the picnic tables and captain chairs.

Great location for Hearst Castle visit
We booked here because we were touring the Hearst Castle. The location was great! The hotel is older but looks in keeping with the hotel/motels nearby. Room was clean, bed comfortable and strong shower pressure. We did not use pool but we saw others that did. We drove a short distance to Moonstone Beach for the sunset views and nice glass of wine.
Visited Elephant Seal viewing area and did see the seals. Overall, a very nice experience.

Amazing location and good bang for buck
This place is clean and comfy. Bed is slightly noisy but was comfy. Service is what you’d expect in a small town. Lots to offer here. Would recommend and will stay at again. Has laundry.

Bed/mattress was very good. Shower had an “inverted” faucet so finding the hot water was a challenge. Internet/wifi was down on the second day.

OK. Not great. Price pretty good.
The motel was mostly clean. The room was clean but overall the motel was a bit run down and in need of paint and basic updating, primarily on the outside. I would have preferred to spend a little more to find a little nice place.

The room is spacious and clean, but most importantly, the beds are firm and comfortable. I'm very happy here
