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.

Affordable place to stay
Got upgraded to larger room when our room has not been cleaned yet. Walls are thin, wife could hear the neighbor snoring. Could hear every footstep above us. Great location and the room was clean.

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.

Super cool place.
Motel was clean and the front desk girl was awesome! She was very helpful and informative. Our room had a balcony over looking the court yard. Quiet. Rooms were recently updated.
I found a hidden gem about 10 minutes away. The Elephant Seal Vista Point. Absolutely amazing i went about 7 a.m. I was the only one there. I would definitely stay here again. Restaurants within walking distance.
