Early check-in was readily accommodated. Our room was clean with a little "sitting room" (frig, microwave, couch), two queen beds and large TV screen. Manager fixed a brief issue with TV remote. I loved the shower with regular shower head and lower one (almost felt like a bidet!) Full b'fasts each day were just right. Fresh-baked cookies every day too! Heated pool and fire pit nice. Quite close to elephant seal viewing and Hearst Park (can walk on beach) and Hearst Castle.

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.MariaUnited States of America - 10Scored 10
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.Betty AparicioUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

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.AAnonymousUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.Kristin EdmiastonUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

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.AAnonymousChina

- From $100.13 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 864 reviewsPacific Coast is one of the few hotels that continues to provide a hot breakfast of eggs and bacon as well as yogurt, cereal, and pastries. The room has a microwave and refrigerator. I usually bring my own food so I appreciate that convenience. The bed is comfortable. The room has hardwood floors and is nicely decorated. Because this hotel is usually the lowest price when I am searching for places to stay thanks to booking.com VIP status, I have booked this hotel at least 5 times in 1.5 years.
MelissaUnited States of America - From $135.21 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 1,024 reviewsThe attitude from staff was exceptional. During our trip to US we had 5 stays in different hotels, but I didn't feel so good attitude from hotel staff even with my platinum level in IHG hotel chain compared to exceptional treatment at Coast Riders Inn where we arrived late in the evening after bad luck with accommodation at Big Sur. On the way we had an accident with wild animal and hotel staff was ready to help with repair of the car if that would be necessary.
EriksLatvia - From $167.63 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 2,682 reviewsThe hotel was very comfortable, and the room and facility were very clean. We had an ocean view and a little balcony. The breakfast was far superior to most “included” hotel breakfasts. There was a wide selection, and plenty of food. Edward and his family run the place, and they are very nice folks. We will definitely stay here again. Just minutes to Hearst Castle or Cambria.

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.

Room was clean and spacious. It’s very close to the Hearst beach / pier and also his castle (castle was just closed when I was there but there are opportunities to visit it). Further, nice place to watch the elephant seals.UtaAustria
- From $100.13 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 864 reviewsFantastic 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.
