It's a Motel 6 and a fairly typical one in my experience: no frills but clean and value for money. The motel is located just off Route 1 and easy to spot as you leave the main road, it has plenty of free parking (of course) and a comfortable, quite large lobby with easy chairs and shelves of books.

This was fine for 1 night pass-thru the area. To me, the hotel had 2 advantages - among the cheaper ones in the San Simeon/Hearst Castle area, and also they are the only one I could find in the area that had a "cancel by 6 PM w/o penalty" policy. Everyone else required several days notice that wouldn't work for... more

We were thinking of camping along the coast but changed our minds at the last minute. And for just a little more than the price of a campsite we booked motel 6. It was great. We wanted to tour Hearst Castle and were coming down from Monterey. The hotel "strip" is about 4 miles past the Castle so we had... more

We failed to plan ahead and book on our recent driving trip up the California Coast and ended up staying in 2 different Motel 6's. The one in San Simeon was the nicer of the two. Because we didn't book ahead and they didn't accept AAA discount, we ended up paying the rack rates, which were about $100/night. The value... more

If you see it for what it is, then this place really isn't bad. My room was spacious and clean, but most of all very cheap. It's not the sort of place where you're going to stop for a long holiday, or luxury, but for a one night stopover I don't think you can complain. more

It's a Motel 6, so don't expect the Ritz, but it was a good value for a one-night stay. Large rooms with an ocean view - across the PCH, of course; you can also walk to the beach. Close to Hearst Castle and Cambria. Perfect if you don't want to spend a lot. more

This Motel 6 in tiny San Simeon served us well until morning when we discovered that the bath tub was full of little ants. We were tempted to fill the tub and watch them swim around but thought it better to let the maid deal with them. San Simeon is a little tourist town that seems to have more hotels... more

Motel 6 in San Simeon, California certainly isn’t any more than a person can expect. It is showing its age and deferred maintenance “issues”. The windows in our room hadn’t been cleaned in some time (especially the outside of the windows) and we could hardly see out of them. I was disappointed that the “low-tech” service personnel (only God knows... more

We stay here a lot and really love having the restaurant on site. This 4 night trip left us wanting more - more from the weather but the motel was also lagging by it's own standards. The shower/tub had a lot of mildew and their solution 36 hours later was putting caulk over it to hide it. IF you are... more
