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. More

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

What a wonderful stop over for my grand daughter and myself, for our stopover at Hearst Castle. They were extremely nice and helpful with directions. The rooms were great, with nice firm beds. All rooms have widows that open to the ocean (in the distance). We went to sleep listening to the waves. The continental breakfast was fine... rolls, juice... More

While traveling down California Highway 1 we decided to stop in San Simeon to see Hearst Castle. Needing a place to spend the night I reserved a room at the Sea Breeze Inn. Frankly I was looking for a hotel that was as inexpensive as possible. I didn't expect much. I was pleasantly surprised. We stayed in a King room... More

I booked the reservation at Sea Breeze Inn after looking at many hotels online in the area. There were 4 of us - all seniors. We went for the weekend. We loved the view, the short walk down to the beach and the short walk to some great restaurants. The price was great as well! The manager was so friendly... More

I'm of the belief that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. But Sea Breeze management really needs to step up their game because the rooms are not cheap but the experience certainly is. Rooms are dilapidated and not maintained, towels are like sand-paper, walls and ceiling are paper thin, and hospitality was sorely... More

We were only staying the night from midnight until morning to go to Hearst Castle. The room looked good, but it still had a slight dingy feel to it. But it wasn't dirty, The bathroom was clean. The wifi didnt work for us. The walls are super thin, you can hear your neighbor flush the toilet and shower. We were... More
