San Simeon hotellia

Plussat: All the rooms have fire places in them, staff is always nice and the whole hotel small resort feeling. Overall very beautiful.

Plussat: I loved the entire rooms setup and how clean it was, my wife loved the bathtub... our view was amazing, loved the fire on the beach that was cool... the resturant was really good....we'll be back when this virus thing is dealt with.... loved your facilities....

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I loved my room and the view from my patio was gorgeous. Love the easy access to beach and the play area for my son! We have already booked another return stay with you in a few weeks for my sons birthday!!

Miinukset: I'm not complaining at all, it's just I could hear the conversations in the room next to me even though rooms advertised as soundproof. But it did NOT ruin this beautiful trip at all.

Plussat: Right on beach, good restraunt

Miinukset: Layer of dirt under bed

Plussat: My room was advertised as an Oceanfront room. when i arrived the room was facing the parking lot.

Miinukset: They advertise oceanfront, said "your room: Oceanfront" on my receipt, but the room looked at a parking lot.

Plussat: Right on the Ocean. Had a breakfast pick nick on the hotel lawn, watching some dolphins play in the water. Outdoor chess and other games. Fire places lit in the evening.

Miinukset: Breakfast menu was not inspiring. San Simeon is not a town just a cluster of hotel/motels and a liquor store...

Plussat: The staff were super nice and helpful, the restaurant was amazingly good and the fireplace in our room was an unexpected but very welcome surprise.

Miinukset: Some of the furnishings were due for an update

Plussat: The location was beautiful and the rooms are lovely.

Miinukset: There was a fire alarm that went off at 430am and the front desk people did not seem very happy.

Plussat: location hotel decoration Room size

Plussat: Location, staff

Miinukset: Tiny bathroom.

Plussat: It’s location

Miinukset: Not up to my expectations. The room had cobwebs, something splashed on the bathroom door and we dealt with ants the duration of our visit.

Miinukset: The heater did not work and staff did not come to fix

Plussat: I liked that the hotel premises and room was very clean and I felt very safe as I was checking in at 1130 at night.

Plussat: Updated room, good location near Hearst Castle

Plussat: They charged me 2x for my 1 night stay, they told me its been refunded and it has not been!!!

Miinukset: During my arrival the attendant at the front desk was on his personal phone having a conversation. I stood there for several minutes waiting for him to finish up his conversation to help me with my check in. When he was ready to help me with my reservation he continued with his conversation on the phone never really making contact or communication with me except for asking me for my card and ID. He gave me my cards for my doors and went over the map to where I could find my room from the office and that was it. He wasn't very polite he wasn't very nice and if I didn't know the property and didn't enjoy it he would be the reason I didn't go back.

Plussat: Very easy going

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very close to beach. Indoor pool and spa

Miinukset: The beds were small in the room we had got

Plussat: The location was perfect for my needs. There is a restaurant adjacent to the property for meals. The room was spartan but had everything I needed. The television had quite a few cable stations should a person wish to use it.

Miinukset: Although there was an overhead fan for air circulation, I couldn't open a window for fresh air.

Plussat: I liked the way the sliding glass door in the room opens to a grassy common area. The staff person was very nice and helpful. This was a last minute booking and it turned out to be very comfortable. I will stay here when I travel through the area again

Miinukset: The walls are a bit thin and we could actually hear our neighbors talking through the wall. We turned up the TV a bit and problem solved.

Plussat: Location was great.

Miinukset: Grounds where unkept and dirty. Carpet in the room needs to be clean.

Plussat: room very clean and cozy

Miinukset: tv didn't work

Plussat: Room was clean and comfy. Location excellent for our road trip. Diner next door was great.

Plussat: The location was good and the price point was good.

Miinukset: The carpets in the rooms need to be replaced. I didn’t feel comfortable taking my shoes off because they looked so dirty and old.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Heater didn’t work and they didn’t have anyone to fix it. They offered to change the room.

Plussat: Location to Hearst castle

Miinukset: The 1960s room heater without a thermostat sucks . TV cable would cut in and out. We were hoping to spend a quite New Years eve watching the specials ringing in the New year around the world .the tv ruined our New years. Breakfast was bad very limited.

Plussat: Location was great! Definitely the nicest motel in this area.

Miinukset: The smell of this hotel is disgusting. The room was strangely warm without the heater on. The bed was awful.

Plussat: The room had carpeting and a cabinet with drawers. Unusual for what I have seen in many hotels today

Miinukset: The heater was noisy and the bathroom fan was very noisy. I am sure all the neighbors down the hallway knew when we had the shower fan on

Plussat: Room is large. And super clean, much better than I expected.

Plussat: Location, bed was comfortable.

Miinukset: Odd place. A mish-mash of furnishings with an uncohesive, cluttered style in lobby & room.The bathroom vanity was updated, but counter just outside was 80's formica.Exterior paint on hotel & room walls was color of diarrhea brown.Banged up walls.

Plussat: That it was close to the beach.

Miinukset: I didn't realize that the hotel allowed pets. The dogs in the room next to us were whining in the middle of the night and woke us up. We didn't sleep well that night.

Plussat: The location was wonderful.

Miinukset: We expected to have a working television. This was important to us since we do not drive at night and were looking forward to some TV time. They told us that the Direct TV was out in our building. It was out for 2 out of the three days that we stayed.

Plussat: Big, clean rooms and friendly staff.

Miinukset: Looked a little dated. Water tasted like it came straight from the swimming pool with all the chlorine 'flavor'. I couldn't drink it.

Plussat: locatipn

Miinukset: internet signal too weak and unstable in room

Plussat: The hotel was perfectly placed for our visit to Hearst Castle. Near several restaurants. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. They even let us refill our hand sanitizer with their own.

Plussat: The location was good and the hotel was clean. The continental breakfast was very good. I would give this a 3 star rating. Recommend eating at the Cavalier restaurant.

Miinukset: No elevator and there was only one staff member on duty at night. Had trouble with the TV but I was able to fix it myself.

Plussat: Great staff and clean facilities!

Plussat: Great breakfast, staff was great

Miinukset: Needs refreshing but clean

Plussat: Excellent location to visit Hearst Castle.

Plussat: It was close to the Hearts Castle.

Miinukset: The door to get in to the room was difficult to close and didn't have the security lock. We asked at the front desk that don't clean our room that we stopped later on for shampoo and conditioner, but they didn't listen our petition and get in.

Plussat: Room was Fabulous with a fireplace ,& Whirlpool tub.

Miinukset: No we loved it all

Plussat: Great night sleep, nice and quiet room with ocean view.

Miinukset: There was a large stain on the carpet.

Plussat: -the rooms were okay

Miinukset: -breakfast was poor, everything pre-made, especially eggs made out of egg-powder

Plussat: Perfect for a quick stop on the way, or for a quiet short stay. Clean and spacious.

Plussat: The location was very convenient for our plans. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The facility was in need of attention. Window screw were missing on several windows, soffit vents were missing which could potentially allow critters into the attic spaces.

Plussat: The helpfulness of the staff.

Miinukset: The on-site restaurant was closed. There could have been more option for vegetarians in the hot stuff ( rather than just the bacon and egg) though we had hot waffles.

Plussat: The motel was nice, clean, and had a great warm breakfast!

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Need better coffee and real cream cups would be awesome and coffee in the office would be great and a water container for free water in office would be great

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: The bathroom had a very bad smell.

Plussat: Clean, close to the seal sightseeing. Staff is very friendly

Miinukset: No coffee or breakfast. Had to ask for soap. Receptionist informed me the Heated pool is not heated because it’s “cold” outside

Plussat: Spacious room size. Excellent location!

Miinukset: The bed was not comfortable. It was lumpy.

Plussat: The room was clean.

Miinukset: There was not a thermostat or a/c / heater in the room. We had to open the window to cool the room off.

Plussat: Location is excellent for the road trip to Monterey taking Hwy 1. Sampling local wineries. Visiting Heart's Castle and watching the Elephant seal on the shore.

Plussat: Love that it was a short walk across the highway and to the beach.

Miinukset: The pool closed just before we arrived. Would be better if it stayed open later. Room was pretty cold during the night.

Plussat: Rooms are clean, and easy to access.

Miinukset: The lack of amenities for the price of the room was bothersome. There is no in room coffee, microwave or refrigerator in the room. At the price we paid, at least one, if not all of those would have been nice.

Plussat: Ystävällinen palvelu vastaanotossa. Ravintola hotellin yhteydessä (eri ylläpitäjä). Siisti huone. Hyvä wi-fi. Siisti uima-allas.

Plussat: Very friendly staff.

Miinukset: The ice machine in our area broke down, and we had to go someplace else but otherwise, everything was fine.

Plussat: The personal at the reception desk is really nice, no matter the time you arrive. We didn't get the breakfast included, but they had coffee and tea for free at the office. The rooms are quite big, and the bathrooms are really nice! The have a discount coupon for breakfast in the nearest cafeteria and it is super recomendable. The plates are HUGE, and the prices very reasonable. If I go back to this route, I will stop there for sure.

Plussat: Staff was friendly and informative.

Miinukset: Access to building was not user friendly. No ramps for luggage

Plussat: The staff were very nice and accommodating

Miinukset: No

Plussat: The closeness to the beach, highway 1, and to Cambria.

Plussat: The location was great.

Miinukset: Cleanliness could have been kept up better

Plussat: I DIDNT LIKE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ROOM IT WAS DIRTY AND SMELLED TERRIBLE THE TOWELS WERE SO ROUGH TO SHOWER WITH THE TV HAD ONE WORKING CHANNEL WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR SUCH A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE I WILL NEVR GO BACK THERE 2 THUMBS DOWN

Miinukset: THE ROOM SMELLED IT WAS DIRTY TV HAD ONE CHANNEL

Plussat: Good price , Great and attentive staff, clean rooms Great location

Plussat: Loved the location and the staff! The room was amazingly clean! The coffee in the main lobby was ready and fresh, bright and early as promised! There is a little bar near the lobby that looked nice but we didn't get a chance to check it out.

Miinukset: My only complaint is that the bed was very hard. There were two beds in the room and both were equally firm.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. Great location. Spa was Nice during the winter

Miinukset: There were no eggs ! Lol

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Staff unattentive. Room was dirty, no hand sanitizer in lobby, Contenintal breakfast was very poor, very limted. Poor quality.

Miinukset: Nice place,across from the ocean, and Close to everything

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Breakfast not great

Plussat: We loved our stay, but the older lady at the front desk wasn't friendly when we first arrived. The young man who was there later was very helpful. Good location for day trips to Big Sur.

Miinukset: Older front desk lady could improve her people skills.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Breakfast and staff

Plussat: The room was clean. The room had a microwave, coffee and fridge.

Miinukset: The beds were a little hard. It was noisy because of the people walking on top of us all night.

Plussat: The staff are always so nice when we stay!

Plussat: The room was a nice size for two beds and everything was in good shape. Our downstairs room faced away from the ocean and (and the wind); there were other 2nd-floor rooms that had a view of the ocean. Every room had a small outdoor patio or deck. The hot tub was large and indoors, across the parking lot from the rooms. On-site restaurant opened for dinner and was a good option among the few choices within walking distance.

Miinukset: The key card wouldn't open the outside door at the end of the hall so it was a longer walk from the rear parking to the main door in the front. Deluxe room was a big jump in price for a slightly larger room.

Plussat: Quiet, clean, set back from the hwy. Welcoming staff. Love the hot tub!

Plussat: Location, cosy, friendly

Plussat: Great location, nice restaurant

Miinukset: Smell of smoke as you entered room. Door lock not working, which was swiftly resolved by staff

Miinukset: Check-in staff was not very friendly/welcoming. (Other staff were great.)

Plussat: Location and view from the room was amazing.

Miinukset: The restaurant menu was limited in options and expensive. However, the dinner specials were tasty.

Miinukset: Expedia cancelled my reservation at some point after I last confirmed 4 days prior. While am angry that Expedia didn't contact me I believe the hotel had a responsibility to contact me as well.

Plussat: - very beautiful location and very convenient if you explore road 1 - super chilling and calm place - clean and rather warm even on the winter

Miinukset: - expensive - no working wifi and there is no even working signal (they have one computer is connected via ethernet, but super slow still) - food in the restaurant is very fatty and low quality

Plussat: Gorgeous views, friendly staff

Plussat: Nice clean place. Room was great as was the location.

Miinukset: Really poor WiFi. Had the feel of a motorway service station.

Plussat: It had everything all in one site

Miinukset: It didn't have air condition in the rooms normally not a problem at the coast but it was unseasonably warm during our stay.

Plussat: Very close to the Hurst Castle and right off highway 1. They have good food selection on their restaurant menu.

Miinukset: Front door in our hotel room hard to open.Water pressure is weak..shower head so low you have to bent down when taking a shower..need to raise it up a bit for taller people.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: A bit loud at night

Plussat: Sijainti erittäin hyvä highway 1 pitkin ajelevalle. Majoitus ihan ok ja hyvä hinta-laatusuhteeltaan. Mukava henkilökunta!

Plussat: Staff was nice and respectful

Miinukset: The room was next to the sanitation room, which meant there was a lot of traffic

Plussat: Staff super friendly. Restaurant offered take out due to covid 19. Food was good.

Plussat: The beds

Plussat: Classic 60s Mad Men style motel set out nicely with pool and sliding room doors! Clean and all mod cons! Fabulist staff!

Miinukset: No complaints at this moment to be honest......

Plussat: Room (Queen) is pretty spacious & the food is really, really good. (Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner) The Staff worker's are really polite & professional, good character. This is probably our 7th stay & we'll continue to enjoy it's venue.

Miinukset: Bed could be a lil' more comfortable but loving the pillow's. : )

Plussat: Sijainti

Miinukset: Kallis tasoonsa nähden, kokolattiamatto

Plussat: Very friendly and attentive staff. Great front corner room with good sized bathroom and panoramic view of the ocean. Comfortable bed. Excellent coffee from reception. Nice indoor heated swimming pool. Plenty of (free) car parking. Close to the beach. Eateries close by.

Miinukset: Changing rooms for swimming pool untidy and could have done with a clean. Pool itself was very clean.

Plussat: Really good ratio quality/price

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Near beach and main road

Miinukset: Overcharged $13 hotel

Plussat: People were friendly and it’s across the street from the ocean it’s not 5 star but I would highly recommend for family’s on a budget well worth it

Plussat: Best price in the area. Room was decently comfortable. Pool looked nice, but it was too cold outside to make the trip.

Miinukset: Towels were stained and the bed was a bit saggy, but you get what you pay for.

Plussat: Room was clean. And was close to the beach.

Miinukset: Sunday morning the lady was extremely rude when I was trying to ask about the area, she seem to be preoccupied talking to a friend and seemed like I was just bothering her.

Plussat: The in door pool. Thank

Miinukset: Mattresses very uncomfortable, pillows flat. No staff on duty during nigh! Room service next day did not replenish toilet paper or tissue. Easter candy and dirt was under bed.

Plussat: The location and price can not be beat! You can see the ocean from the parking lot. The pool and Hot Tub were a very welcome addition as it was rainy and cold most of our stay. We felt safe staying here and the parking lot was quiet.

Miinukset: They don't seem focus on the little things. There was a coffee pot/coffee there was no sugar/creamer, our room had no microwave the TV remote did not work etc. The beds were clean, but we found used soap left in the shower and only 1 roll of tp provided.

Plussat: Close to hwy 1, discounts to the restaurant next door, friendly staff

Miinukset: our 2nd lock on the door was broken.

Plussat: We love this place. Clean, friendly and budget minded! This hotel is older, but well cared for. Our go to place for the last two years

Miinukset: My only suggestion would be to bring an extension cord or surge protector. This is an older hotel and does not have a ton of outlets.

Plussat: It was perfect for our trip.

Plussat: Feb 2020. Waitress,coffee,food at the cavalier restaurant. The use of the common area where the fire pits and chairs are. The only good restaurants around was the Cavaliers,in Cambria was the pizza & burger place at the end of town.forgot name. Mezzos Italian. We went into Pasa robles to get a few things at Wal-Mart and googled what restaurants stay open till at least 10-11pm cause it was 7:35pm and it would take about 35-40 min to get back to Cambria to eat dinner.it showed that this pub steakhouse was open till 11pm and mezzo Italian till 1pm and all other places closed at 9 or 9:30. Got into Cambria at 8:55. Everything was closed except linns and they were closing up. The pub steakhouse green colored 2 story looking house was closed suppose to be open till 11. The town closes at 9pm. Went to mezzo. It was small. You take menu by door then go to counter order and pay then seat your self. Has a table with 4 chairs,3 tables with 2 chairs a pub table with 2 chairs ,bar with 8 chairs. Weird inside like your in a pot smoking grandmas house for dinner. But hungry,tired and said wtf. Ordered eggplant parmesan with noodles and 2 meatballs and bread and chocolate chip cookie and fudge cashew cookie Pepsi and ginger ale. The owner served us at our table. The food was AWESOME. Homemade bread AWESOME cookies AWESOME meatballs AWESOME. The owner was so nice after we finished dinner and she came to clear table we started talking. Great person so nice and was really an enjoyable night at her place. Will go there Every time we are in Cambria area. Fishing off San Semion pier for 2 days was great no fish except a small halibut had to throw back but great weather. So bottom line only hotel cavalier hotel and restaurant, mezzo Italian,pier

Miinukset: Stayed Feb 2020. Got to hotel to check in at front desk and door locked with a note saying went north for the winter and to go check in at the front desk of the cavalier hotel next door. Found out that the cavalier hotel owes the sands by the sea. Room smelled like old dirty clothes or a dirty wet mop. A/C - Heater not work. Thermostats on Wall and A/C Heater unit on floor in front of window was filthy. Fan worked on ceiling. Toilet was so low it came 2 inches below my knees. I'm 5'6. Felt like I was in kindergarten bathroom using the toilets that are special low for little kids. Slipped and fell in tub cause there was no bath mat. Hurt my back and right knee. Had to use a towel on bottom of tub to finish shower. And bathroom floor tiles were so slippery when you were barefoot even when your not wet from bath or shower. Put towels on floor when barefoot so we wouldn't slip. Towels were rough feeling. My pillows were the size of a regular pillow cut in half. My husband had the same except he had one regular size pillow out if 3 pillows on each bed. TV ok got lots of channels. Reserved room with 2 queen beds and a oceanview. Was suppose to be upstairs room 246 but asked for downstairs got room 147. If room above us one door over was oceanview it had to look over the roofs and in between the buildings behind the hotel. The only ocean view rooms would be at the cavalier next store. This hotel has no ocean view rooms unless you call looking between buildings or over roofs and seeing a clipse of ocean an ocean view room. Bed was ok and comfy could be better but did the job. Breakfast included at restaurant cavalier next store was included. Continental breakfast. It is a $4.00 voucher for toast, or English muffin and orange juice, coffee.

Plussat: We love the amenities on the properly and it's location to the beach.

Miinukset: Bed was extremely hard with uneven lumps. Bulbs were missing in overhead lighting.

Plussat: We enjoy the firepits on the bluff. The room was adequate... Great place to go if you have a pet.

Miinukset: The only drawback was the noise from some of the other guests. There was a lot of door banging and yelling.

Plussat: view was good from the restaurant. good breakfast.

Miinukset: no bell cart. small room hotel phone was not working when i called ahead to confirm our stasy.

Plussat: Firepit at night was awesome. Sunrise and sunsets were amazing.

Miinukset: Bathroom needs to be redone

Plussat: Closed to the beach

Miinukset: Very tiny fridge in the room that we stayed this time.

Plussat: See above

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: We had a good breakfast at the Cavalier Restaurant with $4 voucher discount. Nice location for easy access to San Simeon and Cambria and Hearst Castle

Miinukset: Little bit of a musty smell in the room-nothing that was unmanageable.

Miinukset: Liikenteen melu oli tosi paha. Tosin meillä oli melun suhteen kaikista huonoin huone.

Plussat: The location is good, although there are no views.

Miinukset: The bedding had not been changed, the refrigerator leaked everywhere, the bathtub would not drain, and air conditioner did not work. The complementary breakfast is a piece of toast and coffee - literally.

Plussat: The staff was very accommodating. We were sitting by the fire pit and they stocked the wood quickly. They gave us two rooms next to each other with a slight ocean view. It was beautiful.

Plussat: Close to the beach! And comfortable beds!

Miinukset: Not really a hotel, but good still
