Doing a Big Sur up and back as I do whenever I get the chance, I decided to stay here instead of farther up the coast to make the trip back to LA easier. It was a good decision, as the highway was closed at Lucia by a rockslide, and we would have had a terrible time getting around it... More

My boyfriend and I were used to taking luxurious vacations with our parents, but we just graduated college and were traveling on a more limited budget. We stayed at San Simeon Lodge after touring Hearst Castle and as a part of our trip up PCH. For a grand total of $75, we got an ocean view room. Yes the hotel... More

No room to move freely. Tiles were old and dirty. Soap holder had green discoloration on it. Hot water flow changed several... More

We stay there for one night, just in passing. Everything was fine, except the toliet. It was broken. There is nice place to eat, and the ocean is near... We had great view from our room.The stuff was very friendly and helpful. Overall impression- very good. More

Toilet handle snapped off within the first 5 minutes, windows would not lock, inconvenient arrangement of room, dirty bathroom, outdated furniture, not much more than just a place to sleep and shower. More

There are hotels across the highway on the beach for triple the cost of this motel. But can't beat the value. And really the beach is not that far anyway. More

We stayed here for one night and the motel was exactly what we needed. Big room with plenty of space to put our baby bed for our 11 month old (we actually put him in the walk in wardrobe!). Nice view of the ocean and a lovely sunset. Plenty of parking and free wifi. No free breakfast but coffe maker... More

A good value hotel. The room had 2 beds and plenty of space for a 1 year old to run around. The restaurant at the hotel isn't good, but it is close. If you can find the energy to drive elsewhere do! More
