Traveling to Hurst Castle down Coast Hwy 1 we encountered a road closure that cost us an extra 4 hours of travel time in the detour (Cal Trans' bad communication!), so we stayed in San Simeon at this motel for the night. The king room was spacious, comfortable and clean. It had recently been painted (no smell) and had a... More

We stay a couple times a year and love the privacy! Good location and cheap motel prices! It can't be beat! Better then Motel 6! You can walk to resturants and across the highway to the coast or its a short very short ride! Can't wait til our next visit soon!! More

We got a room right at the end of the block, away from the traffic so it was quiet. We had asked for ground floor as we didn't... More

It is not worth saving a few dollars in exchange for comfort and cleanliness. This Motel sucks. No elevator and no A/C. Room smells bad, mattress is uneven and very uncomfortable. Bed sheets smells bad too. You can tell it has not been changed. We didn't have a good night sleep because we were all restless throughout the night. I... More

We had a king size room with an ocean view. Accept that you're in an old motel near the beach and you shouldn't be disappointed. Bed was super comfy, shower was hot and strong, ammenities bare minimum. Pool/hot tub was revolting with layers of muck and mud on the floor. The two free dinners and breakfasts at the cafe down...
