My husband and I stay at this hotel almost everytime we go to San Simeon, and we made a trip there at least once or twice a year. We made the horrible mistake of staying somewhere else and regretted every mintue of it. You cant get a better view, a lovely room and great price in this part of CA,... More

Loved staying at this Best Western. I must admit when my husband booked it, I said "Really, a Best Western?". I was happily surprised at the amenities, friendly staff, nice room on the ocean with a real working fireplace and warming huts on the beach. It got an A+. I would visit this Best Western again. It was so relaxing... More

Just kidding, Sacramento, California isn't that bad. Husband and I love to go to this hotel in San Simeon because it is so quiet and serene. God's beautiful ocean and the funny sea lions, bulls and pups are of course the best attraction there. There are other wonderful things too. There is a wonderful pier in Cayugos, California and a...

The location of the hotel right on the beachfront is a major plus. We stayed in a room facing the Pacific Ocean where we wake up to the mist coming in from the sea and soothing waves breaking onto the beach. Simply marvellous. The room itself is superbly appointed. It has its own fireplace and the Sealy bed is just... More

We were taking the famous trip between San Francisco and Los Angeles on Highway 1. After a long day driving and taking pictures (more pictures than driving...) we stayed in this very confortable hotel. Staff is very friendly, the restaurant has good food and you start your next day with a great view. At night they turn on a fireplace... More

Rooms are spacious and fitted well, Room service works (as there is a lack of options in the area). You can see that the owners are actively participating in the managing of the hotel. I have absolutely no complaints about this hotel. Also this is a 5 minute trip to Hearst Castle, and if you planning to see all the... More

We did a big family vacation here for my mother's 60th birthday. We booked 3 rooms - 2 standard double queen rooms and 1 single king with ocean view. We had 2 incidents (that were not the hotels fault) upon arrival. The first - they allow dogs at this hotel and as my dad passed one of the rooms, the... More
