Quality Inn near Hearst Castle, hotel in San Simeon

The Quality Inn hotel is just 2 miles from Hearst Castle, a Moorish castle with 127 acres of gardens, terraces, pools and walkways, furnished with Spanish and Italian antiques and art.

Breakfast was good, I loved that the lobby had coffee, hot water and cookies all day. We noticed a fire pit table by the pool and although we did not use it, it would be something to look forward to on another visit. Loved the proximity to all the surrounding areas.

San Simeon Lodge, hotel in San Simeon

Surrounded by gardens and palm trees, the San Simeon Lodge has an outdoor heated pool and deck seating, along with rooms with a view of the Pacific Ocean one block away.

- Queen suites are renovated with fresh paint, new carpet, and clean furniture. Our room was on the 1st floor and had a fantastic view of the ocean. Take in mind though that these rooms DO face the parking lot, so you’ll get cars obstructing the view sometimes. This wasn’t a problem for us since we were out most of the day and only at the hotel early morning and evening. It was actually convenient to park our car so close to our room. - Bathrooms are clean and spacious. Although our water faucet was mislabeled (cold water was actually hot and vice versa), what mattered most was that there was no mold or mildew in the shower stall, which I’m a huge stickler about. The bathroom could use a heater, but if you heat up the main room the heat will seep through the door, so it’s ok - Comfortable! Beds were not too firm or soft, but “just right”, as Goldliocks would say - Pet friendly! Our dog enjoyed the ocean view as much as we did. - Friendly, welcoming, and accommodating staff who answered our smallest requests – they brought us hot water for tea, gave us extra keys, and even upgraded us to a larger room for a lower price.

    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.

    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).

    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).

    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.

    Great location near Hearst Castle and San Simeon Beach, the employees were very friendly, the room was big and clean. There's a small pool that we did not try out because of the weather and a small bonfire if you want to eat or chill outside.

    I found the San Simeon Motel 6 to be clean and the staff was friendly. The room had plenty of space and the price was right. The ice machine broken but the staff would give ice from a cooler which worked fine. Overall it was a nice stay.

    We made a reservation for one night and didn’t really have any big expectation. The location was great. We had a nice view of the ocean from our room. Breakfast in the restaurant was very good; it was a 10% discount for hotel guests.
