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."

Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We booked our first stay at Castle Inn for the summer for one night with our family & simply loved it, so we recently booked a 2 night stay for my husband and I for our 12 year Anniversary. We especially loved having a beach front view and access to walk across the street for an even better view of the beach. The surrounding area is very peaceful and safe. The staff was very attentive. Especially Jeff. We hope to continue making memories here with our family."

Oceanpoint Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful opportunity to detach from city life!"

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!"

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."

Sea Breeze Inn

"Nice place to stay."
