My husband and I decided at the last minute to do a get away to Cambria for Memorial Day weekend. We knew that the hotels would likely be busy and thus more expensive than normal. We had wanted to stay in Cambria, but due to the prices and availability, we decided that San Simeon would be an okay alternative. From... More

Great value hotel in ideal distance from both SF and LA! The rooms were spacious and clean. A good choice of restaurant within walking distance is the Mexican nearby the hotel (approx. 200 meters to the North). Best place to watch the sea lions is within a short driving distance on route 1 to the North. The viewpoint is (obviously)... More

Its a very basic motel, a bit old; but does the trick. I recommand staying in near by Cambria for a more pleasent area.

We were making our way back to Sacramento from Southern California when we decided to hit Hearst Castle and stay in San Simeon. The Sea Breeze in was perfect for what we needed: an inexpensive but clean place to stay. Unlike other hotels in the area, this one is on the ocean side of highway one and every room has... More

I gave five stars based on the price we paid. This is in no way a five star hotel. That is not a negative. The room we stayed in was very clean, well decorated, and comfortable. The room did not stink, which to us is a big deal. Our white sock test (walk around in your socks in the morning... More

For the price we paid, this was the perfect place to stay for one night after visiting Hearst Castle and before making the drive up the coast. It is in a safe and quiet area near the ocean. In fact, we had an ocean view from our window. Room was clean and nicely decorated. Continental breakfast was orange juice, coffee,... More

We stayed one night here on our Big Sur trip. We didn't regret our choice. The room was large, immaculately clean and very nicely decorated. We had a good view of the ocean. The price we paid for four of us was amazingly low. From here we were able to easily visit the elephant seal colony and then continue on... More

My wife and I went there in September. The hotel is quiet good for one night, San Simeon is not an interesting city but it's a good stop if you're driving between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The hotel is clean and the staff is ok. The only bad point was the Wifi (was not working that evening and morning)... More

It is ok for a stop over during the pacific coastal highway trip , but on it's own or as a stay -over for weekend etc... it will definetely be poor... If you want to stay one night to crash somewhere safe and clean, it will work for you.

First let me say, we were trying to find a budget friendly place to sleep for 2 nights during our visit for myself, husband and 7 year old child The rooms were small, walls were filthy - it appeared as if someone smeared stuff all over the walls. There were plumbing issues, when the room above us flushed their toilet,... More
