The room had a funky smell, tiny toilet and dirty looking shaggy carpet and no air conditioning. It was stuffy. The sad thing is that this is probably the best in San Simeon. If I came back stay in another town with a proper hotel and drive to Hearst castle. The "premier" part of it is just a few more... More

This is a great place to stay if you're planning a visit to Hearst Castle. It has amazing ocean views, even when it gets foggy! The room rate is very reasonable. The restaurant is also very good for breakfast.

My wife and I spent one night here a few weeks ago so that we could tour Hearst Castle. Probably the nicest Best Western we've ever stayed in. We had the nicest room in the place, It was a full on ocean front room with a fireplace. The room was very clean and nice. We did order room service from... More

They have lovely firepits on the beach that are lit at night and one can sit out by the fire which is a... More

If you'd told me that I would be giving a Best Western Hotel 4 Stars, I would have told you "No way!". But here it is: the location for Hearst Castle is great, the view of the Pacific is great, and the fire pits that bring guests together every night is great. The owner has taken a 1980's Best Western... More

This hotel is in the perfect location on the Pacific Coast. We got an Ocean View room and the view was amazing. It was relaxing to sit on the balcony and look over the ocean. The rooms are well equip with everything you need. The restaurant delivers to the rooms at restaurant prices and the food is delicious. If I... More
