A wonderful experience. I wish I could remember the name of the clerk who helped me and my daughters when we arrived. He was truly one of the nicest customer service representatives I have ever met. He gave us cookies, allowed a family to eat breakfast food because local restaurants were closed, and personally walked us to the our room. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. I would definitely return and recommend that anyone visiting San Simeon stay at the Quality Inn. A 10/10.

We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay at Sea Otter Inn! From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The atmosphere is peaceful, warm, and inviting — perfect for a family getaway. The service was excellent, and every staff member we interacted with was kind, attentive, and accommodating. The area around the inn is beautiful and serene, just a short walk to the ocean, with scenic views and fresh coastal air. The grounds are well-kept, and we especially loved the sparkling clean swimming pool and cozy jacuzzi, which felt like such a treat after a day of exploring. We stayed with our 10-month-old baby and our dog, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The inn is incredibly family- and pet-friendly, which made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. They even had charming little touches like a fireplace in the room and a lovely breakfast delivered to the door in the morning. Everything felt clean, calm, and comfortable — we truly felt at home. We’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Sea Otter Inn, for such a lovely and memorable stay!

Overall would recommend and would return. Pro’s: Staff, bed, cute decor, thoughtful snack bar purchase options, location to beach, boardwalk and restaurants, light breakfast was fresh and delicious, very busy but quiet and peaceful property, sun deck overlooking ocean fun, big shower! Request a refrigerator if needed (not standard in the room). Slight Con’s: King room a bit small for 2 with luggage and supplies for a several day stay, we had power issues charging all the electric devices, floor sticky, parking lot small for large vehicles, and the big shower is not enclosed and splashes water on floor.
