Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 2,372 reviews
Located on the coast of San Simeon, this 2-star property is highly valued for its proximity to the beach and reasonable pricing. Many guests appreciate the ability to hear the sound of the ocean from their rooms, making it an ideal spot for those who enjoy coastal walks.
The interior of the rooms is often noted as being better maintained than the exterior. Ocean-view rooms are particularly popular, and the location serves as a convenient base for travelers exploring Highway 1, including nearby attractions like Hearst Castle.
However, some guests frequently mention that soundproofing is somewhat weak. Additionally, the lack of an elevator means guests staying on the second floor must carry their own luggage, and there are occasional reports regarding cleanliness or aging facilities in certain rooms.
