Three friends, staying one night. Fridge, microwave & coffee maker, but no hair dryer. Wouldn't have been too bad, except for the fact that the one of us who slept on her own is covered in bed-bug bites. Really nasty, large, very itchy bites, that are taking ages to get rid of.

So, we chose this property for a last minute trip to Hearst Castle. We needed rooms for four adults and two children and wanted the children in the same room as the parents. I knew this area was more the King room "bed and breakfast" style area as I have stayed here many times. Locating a second room that could... More

If you're looking for luxury, go somewhere else. If you're looking for a clean room with all the basics to rest your head after a day of sight seeing in one of the most gorgeous places on Earth, book here. San Simeon is incredible; the entire Central California Coast is. No description can do it justice. This inn is a... More

We paid US$ 55.49 for one night (tax included) so it wasn't bad value. The room was a bit tired, and we had to drive around back to access our room. But all in all, the location is good on Hwy 1 which was great as we were on our way to San Fran, and also close to Hearst Castle.... More

.....and the pillows were awesome. We stayed there after a birthday party in Morro Bay. It was not our first stay. There are a lot of motels in San Simeon and Cambria to choose from but we like this one. The large, well maintained grassy area in the center of the complex is unique and resort like. The property is... More

The motel is in a good position on the Highway 1, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco and just about one hour far from Esalen Institute. The motel has a nice swimming pool / hot tub. Though the relax area is probably too small for the number of rooms available. Indeed we were not able to use it given... More

Our 2nd floor room was a bit worn, but OK. Wireless worked well. The bed was comfortable. Shower was a stall and very minimal. As we got settled in, the neighboring room turned on their tv. We don't mind muted noise, but we could hear and understand every word said on the TV and also pretty much anything said by... More

This is a cozy motel in a great location - ideal for whom is going north or south on the Pacific Coast Highway and want to stop to enjoy the local attractions. Service was great, really cordial (like everybody else in Central Cali - people are so nice there). Few cons: old TV and a shower that is very low... More

Our room smelled of mold even when we tried to air it out. Nice grassy courtyard. Nice location to the beach. We will not use this motel again. Very high priced for such an old motel, but after all it was the coast.
