During our month long holiday, this hotel and restaurant were a standout. It may not have been as luxurious as some of the other hotels we stayed at, but the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, the rooms and bathroom large, clean and comfortable and the location stunning - being roughly half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles on...

This hotel is nice, but more importantly, it is at the ideal location right on the beach in a wonderful little cove. It is a bit dated, but the rooms are nice and the views are incredible. I would recommend a ocean front room, although the ocean view rooms looked ok too. We watched a beautiful sunset from our room... More

This motel was better than I had expected with large rooms and for a bit extra fee, a room facing the ocean Just about a 5 minute drive to the Hearst Castle visitor center Be prepared for cooler temperatures than in Santa Barbara, for example

We stayed here only one night and that was 4 too few. The hotel/motel sits on a bluff just at the edge of the Pacific ocean with easy walking to the actual beach. The Kings Row rooms have either a patio on the ground floor, or a deck on the second floor, that looks out over miles of beach and... More

Beautiful room for the long-haul road-tripper; comfy beds, wonderful views and access to the sights and the gorgeous shore for reasonable rates. It's quiet, clean and comfortable "like home." And the staff provide the sunset time and light fragrant fires in the fire pits at sunset along the shore. It doesn't get better when you are on the road and... More

We took a three week road trip and this was my favorite hotel. The room was comfortable, scenery was great and it was quiet. Creature comforts abounded, from the Keurig coffeemaker to the amenities in the bathroom. You could see the Ocean from our room. Two nice stuffed chairs looked on the patio. A fireplace in the room would have... More

We had a family reunion there. Some other members of our family had stayed there in the past and wanted the family to stay there for the annual family reunion. It is a little more expensive than we are used to $728.37 for 3 nights. It was a Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. The room was comfortable and clean. The... More

The room had a funky smell, tiny toilet and dirty looking shaggy carpet and no air conditioning. It was stuffy. The sad thing is that this is probably the best in San Simeon. If I came back stay in another town with a proper hotel and drive to Hearst castle. The "premier" part of it is just a few more... More

This is a great place to stay if you're planning a visit to Hearst Castle. It has amazing ocean views, even when it gets foggy! The room rate is very reasonable. The restaurant is also very good for breakfast.
