We booked two rooms. Rooms are a bit dated but clean. Shower and wc clean and functional with ample towels. breakfast basic but organised and sufficient. front desk personal very helpful. there was a small swimming pool and a fireplace next to it but we didn’t have time to try it. The general attitute was ‘’no rust, enjoy yourself’’, so we felt very comfortable. definitely good value for what we have paid.

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.
Beautifully maintained grounds, stunning views over the coast. the food in the restaurant was delicious and very reasonably priced considering the isolated location. Room service was good too, we had a lovely breakfast in the room. Our room had a fireplace and balcony overlooking the sea and was very clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. The hotel also has a few cats on site but we only managed to see one! The staff onsite were also excellent!
!.... Hello.... my name is Kristina..I just. really love. this quality inn in san simeon.I really give motel an A+...very clean peaceful.quite..relaxing atmosphere.The manager & employees are Very nice and friendly and smiley..And the breakfast is Omg..real cooked and yummy....and the morning birds chirrping..feels like home away from home....excellent thank you!!!!
Fantastic customer service. Neal and his staff go above and beyond expectations. Newly remodeled rooms are awesome. The free breakfast was delicious, and a balcony and ocean view for under $150 is insane. Used to stay at The Morgan when staying in San Simeon, but the Pacific Coast Roadhouse is our new stay, just fantastic.
Great staff. Shout out to the reception staff who greeted me (one who had a British father was particularly helpful) and Jazz the maintenance man who fixed my tv, and was always cheerful and ready to have a chat when I bumped into him. The staff make this place (plus the beach next to the hotel).
comfortable and very clean hotel. you can see that owners care about their property. it shows their personality. very clean rooms with nice decoration. big rooms. nice pool and jacuzzi. San simeon is small so restaurant are close and the beach. i recommend it for your stop at san simeon
We wanted just a sleepover place, nothing spectacular, so we were positively surprised by nice reviews and also low price of this place. It is really value for money - spacious clean room with big bed and good location if you want to explore San Simeon and other interesting places nearby.
The location along Hwy 1 was ideal. There’s easy beach access, and restaurant on the property was good for breakfast. The grounds and facilities are clean and maintained. The hotel is about equidistant to the town of Cambria (5 mi south) and the San Simeon Hearst Castle (5-6 mi north).
Despite my son's deadly accident the hotel dis not even reply when I asked kindly to vancel the hotel. When I asked Booking.com for help, the hotel did not answer them either. These people are heartless. Don't visit this place!
San Simeon Lodge is THE best place to stay in San Simeon !!! Hands down !!! The gardens add so much to the ambiance of the Hotel. And the staff is friendly and helpful . They have a restaurant on site that is great !!
The room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel is very close to Hearst Castle and along the beautiful California coastline. We were very happy with the price and our stay.
This is my favorite hotel in San Simeon. Its my second stay, and everything has been wonderful. The staff at this hotel is top notch and have been there to fix any issues.
Comfortable room and bed. The Sands by the Sea shares amenities with the oceanfront Cavalier hotel, including their pool facilities, fire pits, and games. Great perk.
Very friendly staff. Pet friendly - courtyard grassy area for relaxing and exercising dog. Microwave and coffee maker in room came in handy.
Beach in walking distance
The hotel is OK if you're on a budget and wish to stay near Cambria, where prices are much higher. Also, very close to Hearst Castle, wich is a great place to visit.
lovely large clean room and wonderful staff! Found my laptop and kept it safe until I could collect 😃 our room was cleaned everyday unlike other hotels!
