Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a good view and was initially designed for disabled guests, but I encountered issues with room assignment, cleanliness, and facilities. The staff, while kind and helpful, had some lapses in service quality. The location was convenient for visiting local attractions, but the hotel needed better maintenance in certain areas.
Initially, the room looked inviting, but it quickly revealed signs of wear and a musty smell upon entering. The hotel lacked enough towels, which was inconvenient. The service was a mix of rudeness and pleasantness, not allowing bags in the room for security but ultimately being helpful and nice. The location was great, near the beach and within walking distance to stores and restaurants, offering a quiet environment. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering fast and delicious options at a good value.
The hotel is situated in a prime location in San Simeon, close to restaurants and with easy access to the coast. While the rooms are comfortable, they require thorough cleaning and updating. The service was lacking, with some staff being rude and unhelpful. The dining options were limited, but the hotel provides coupons for neighboring restaurants. On the positive side, the location is perfect for exploring Hearst Castle and enjoying ocean views.
The hotel's rooms were bigger than expected but in need of renovation. They smelled strongly of bleach, and the staff were not necessarily rude, but didn't come off as friendly either. Despite these drawbacks, the size of the rooms was a positive surprise.
Upon arrival, I noticed a musty smell in the room with 2 queen-size beds, but after opening the door and window for 15 minutes, it cleared up. The room gave off a vibe like it hadn't seen fresh air in weeks. The service was a mix of rude and immediate assistance, with a clean facility being a pleasant surprise. The location, although a bit inland from the beach, was convenient for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience was quick but lacking variety, and the facilities were decent overall.
Overall, my stay at the hotel was pleasant. The location is convenient, just a short walk to Cambria, although the rooms could use some updates. The service was friendly, but there were issues with the reservation. The hotel is enjoyable, especially for road trips, although some areas needed more care. The dining options were limited, and the facilities were basic but functional.
The hotel is conveniently located near Hearst Castle and offers a wonderful ocean breeze from its proximity to the beach. The rooms were lacking in towels and coffee availability, and the noise level from a crawl space above was quite disruptive at night.
The hotel is in a nice location close to the beach, perfect for visiting Hearst Castle and seeing Elephant seals along the coast. The room was fine for the price, but the service was quite unprofessional. The dining experience was very nice, offering good value and delicious food.
The hotel is conveniently located for exploring the coastal attractions, easy to find right off the road. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, but some maintenance issues like a coffee stain on the TV guide affected the experience. The service is friendly and helpful, especially with prompt requests like extra pillows or towels. While the location is ideal for starting early adventures or visiting nearby attractions, the dining options are limited and offer only light meals. The facilities are decent but could use some improvements for a more enjoyable stay.
The hotel is in a convenient location, close to Hearst Castle and ideal for exploring the scenic coastal routes. The rooms are spacious and offer big comfy beds, but they need a thorough update for a fresher feel. The staff's service was lacking, with some instances of rudeness and unaddressed issues by management.
