Top San Simeon Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"This is my go to place to stay in San Simeon. It's affordable and the rooms are decent. The best things I like besides the affordability are the friendly staff (Edward and Maria), the pool and jacuzzi with the fire pit next to it, the continental breakfast and there is a nice beach front across Highway 1 right out front if you walk to the west end of the street. I've stayed here multiple times and Edward provides great customer service. This time I also was assisted by Maria, and she too was amazing. It's not a high end place like places along Moonstone Beach in Cambria, but it's affordable and comfortable with great service and amenities."

Adelaide Inn

10/10 Excellent

"They decorated for the holiday and it was awesome. The ladies in the front were super helpful with our travel plans to a nearby concert. Even a man trimming the hedge gave me a trimming for my yard. Very friendly, clean, room was great."

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent

"It was close to the restaurants and shopping."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Paso Robles

10/10 Excellent

"Food, room, and location plus staff everyone were great."

Allegretto Vineyard Resort Paso Robles

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasant stay. Overall excellent experience. Recommended."

Coast Riders Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for a stopover up the coast. Jane at the front desk was super friendly and very helpful. The room was big and perfect for our stay. Bed was very comfortable and HUGE. We loved the red retro fridge and microwave. A little noisy with motorcycles and next door neighbors but otherwise a great stay. Pool looked nice. Breakfast offerings were ok. We walked to a nice beachfront restaurant and the nearby beach was great for sunset! Overall, I would recommend to friends!"

Bluebird Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute inn! Staff was so friendly and would love to go back!"

Comfort Inn near Hearst Castle - Cambria

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, comfortable room and bed. Views are marvelous. Staff was very helpful."

Sands by The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"A charming little hotel nestled right on the beach. I especially loved the nightly campfires, which created a cozy atmosphere where guests could sit by the fire and enjoy the beach in the evenings. Unfortunately, the hotel is quite dated and could benefit from better maintenance and some upgrades, especially considering the price. Service was inconsistent, with some staff being friendly and professional while others seemed inexperienced or unhelpful. Room service was technically available but practically nonexistent, as calls often went unanswered or requests were met with confusion. The hotel feels more like a family-run business than a professionally managed resort. While this gives it a certain charm, there is room for improvement in staff training, professionalism, and overall service. Although the hotel is dog-friendly, the restaurant is not, and there is only one outdoor table available beside it, making dining with a dog somewhat inconvenient. Overall, I enjoyed the location and unique atmosphere, particularly the nightly beach campfires. However, with better maintenance, upgraded facilities, and more consistent service, the hotel could offer a much better experience for the price."
