Breakfast can be better. Carton plate and plastic knife?..It does not taste healthy.

San Simeon is a great spot for quiet relaxation.
San Simeon is a great spot for quiet relaxation. It's right by the ocean and has several restaurants. It's also just a few minutes drive to Cambria if you want to go for a nice walk on the Moonstone Beach walkway right by the ocean, and then another short drive to Cambria's cute little town.

The ocean was beautiful.
The ocean was beautiful. It was great seeing the elephant seals, and all their babies, lots and lots of babies everywhere. Every female seem to have a baby was happy to see the her castle from afar could not take my puppies, so I could not go on the tour. Next time I will go on the tour I will find a pet sitter.

San Simeon is just one of those cool places that are not over crowded by people and businesses. Different places to stop and explore along this part of the coastline. Besides having Hearst Castle, you can check out the elephant sea lions area and a lighthouse. Just south of San Simeon you have a quick drive over the Moonstone Beach and another 20 min south you have Morro Bay. I think it is a great place to stay when you don't want to be in one of the bigger beach towns, its a more down to earth place when you want to just be in one of the small cozy towns.

San Simeon state Beach is perfect for families.
San Simeon state Beach is perfect for families. It's not crowded like Pismo or windy like Avila. Perfect for families. Affordable restaurant options are limited for large families. None really unless you eat at the mini mart.

We are from Southern California, so other than being cooler than expected and overcast in the morning in August, the weather was great. The scenery is picturesque and there is tons to do. The hotel gave us a guidebook/map of the area and it listed so many fun activities, way more than you can do in a weekend vacation. Of course, Hearst Castle is the star. We did not get to see the lighthouse due to odd hours. We couldn't even park nearby to just take pictures. Cambria is only five miles away for shopping and dining and Harmony is just another five miles south for ice cream, photos, and gift shopping.
I always stay on Moonstone Beach Drive in Cambria right across the street from the beach and this time I reached into a new comfort zone wanted to try out San Simeon and was delightfully surprised by our stay the beds were amazingly comfortable we had a downstairs room with a view of the ocean the bathrooms were remodeled and awsome. I could walk down to the beach in five minutes. The girls staff members were super friendly I would definitely do a stay there again after 20 years of staying on moonstone delighted to find this new hidden gem.
We love this wonderful old hotel. We stay here at least 2 times a year. The architecture is lovely and Julia Morgan has drafts of Hearst castle adorning the wall.
The pipes make noise, no air conditioning, bathrooms are dark. We love every nuance of this place. The location if perfect. We are near the castle and Cambria. The beaches below the hotel are very nice!
We are local and love San Simeon ❤️.
Staying at the hotel is like going back in time. Even though we live only 45 minutes south, the unobstructed view of the ocean is marvelous!
I am very satisfied with our accommodation in this hotel! It was great! The room was just renovated!
Everything inside is pretty new ( TV, air conditioner, fridge, microwave etc)
The kingsize bad was very comfortable and pillows as well
Also we enjoyed with spa and swimming pool
The service staff on the reception was very attentive and kind!
I can recommende this hotel for all travelers I this region
It was nice to stay there
Great value for money and easily accessible for a stop-off in San Simeon whilst travelling the west coast. A good variety of restaurants are nearby (literally across the highway). Staff on the reception were really helpful and friendly and the queen beds were super comfortable. Added bonus of a pool (although the weather wasn't great when we were there so we didn't get to use it!)
We enjoyed our recent stay in San Simeon, the accommodation was very good and met all of our needs. The onsite facilities including the restaurant were excellent. The location was ideal for our planned visit to Hearst castle. We spent two nights at the lodge and ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast, the food was very good and the service excellent.
The staff at the reception were accommodating and check-in process was smooth. The location was near to restaurants, convenienve stores, and walking distance to the beach. There is also a coin laundry by the hotel itself. Parking space is a bit tight but it is not an issue as we got to park right infront of our room during the duration of our stay.
We requested an upstairs room on the quieter side of the hotel. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the room. Our balcony had a lovely view of the hills as well as the ocean. The bed was very comfortable, and we appreciated having cable TV. Excellent location for visiting Hearst Castle and Cambria. Beach access within walking distance.
I stay at this hotel Everytime I'm passing thru San Simeon, it's under new ownership I noticed this time which is a plus because great upgrades have been done and just enjoyed the retro themed rooms and the beds were the best along with everything else.
beautiful. we never stay anywhere else when we come up to Cambria….and we’re stayed at almost all of the hotels in Cambria - we choose San Simeon and Cavalier now every time! beautiful view from the room. beautiful place to explore
Grounds were well maintained. Pet friendly. Pacific views were breathtaking. Enjoyed the walking trail on the site. Best part was that everything was in one place and very convenient to get to from our pet friendly lodge room.
A perfect hotel as a stopover on the way up the coast and near the Hearst Castle. Very peaceful and comfortable, with attractive lawns and firepits overlooking the ocean; a great place to enjoy a lovely twilight.
Excellent location, nice and big clean room, we really enjoyed it. Breakfast available, not a superb one, but it was one of the only hotels with breakfast on our California trip.
It’s a short walk to the beach and convenience stores are nearby. Close to Cambria and San Simeon. We liked that it had a microwave, coffee pot and fridge.
