Set in San Simeon, 600 metres from Arroyo del padre juan, Coast Riders Inn provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The hotel offers an indoor pool, hot tub and a shared lounge.

All units at the hotel come with a seating area and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Every room includes a private bathroom with free toiletries, while some feature sea views. The units at Coast Riders Inn feature air conditioning and a desk. The staff was so nice and helpful. Easy check in. Very accommodating, we wanted to change to a king bed instead of the 2 queens because our children ended up staying home. We visit the area a few times a year, and normally we don't stay in the section due to low quality of rooms. When booking, the pictures were great, the reviews seemed great and the price was perfect. We are absolutely grateful we decided to stay. We will absolutely stay here again.

Situated in San Francisco, 600 metres from Oracle Park, LUMA Hotel San Francisco features accommodation with a fitness centre, private parking, a restaurant and a bar. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The accommodation provides an ATM, a concierge service and luggage storage for guests. Fabulous hotel! Great service! Room and everything is superclean, new, comfy! Rooftop bar is amazing, great views, life music!. Coffee at downstairs is excellent (not sure why some rate it bad), price is not that bad (large Americano 6.5, regular 4.5). Absolutely loved every second in that hotel and would return! Some downsides: my room was on 11th floor and I heard talking, music from rooftop bar until 1 am but airplugs blocked it so I was not bothered much, you can sleep well. Bed is super, linen as well. Shampoo in the room had finished - they refilled quickly. Fridge does make loud noice in the middle of the night - the fix is that you open the door and close it again which stops the noice. Keycard in the lift needs to be hold on the reader long time. But, these were all minor issues, and did not bother me. Go to a community grocery store and a wine store-bar (2 min) - they are excellent. My new home in SF for sure.
