Hôtels - San Simeon

Close to the beach, has fire pits at night.

They required my personal information - phone and address, just to check in. I do not like giving out my private info, especially when they will likely sell it or use it to market to me. They already have my credit card number to pay for the room. I gave a phone but no address upon check in. Then they would not let me check out unless I gave my address too! What do they even need that for except nefarious purposes? I don't like having my privacy violated just to stay in a hotel.

We oved the fact that all rooms had a beach view, sliding glass doors open to rocking chairs with a view of the see. Binocuars in the room were a nice touch for porpoise and seal watching.

Unfortunately, the night we visited, there was a wild thunderstorm. I was imagining being washed out to see. Would love to go again for a longer stay.

Nous avons apprécié notre séjour à l'hôtel Days Inn. La chambre était grande et propre. Nous nous sommes sentis très à l'aise pour dormir. Le prix de la chambre était raisonnable. C'est près de Hearst Castle. Nous avions l'impression de vivre dans cet endroit.

bon rapport qualité/prix

Le fait que c'était proche du Hearst Castle

Le déjeuner, très peu invitant et l'absence d'un endroit pour déjeuner. OK si il ne pleut pas, mais si il pleut, rien à l'intérieur.

La chambre était propre et les lits confortables.

Le wifi ne marchait pas, la télécommande non plus et la télévision très mal. Pour 10 dollars de plus, on vous propose la vue sur l'ocean, mais vous avez en fait vue sur des bâtiments, qui eux ont bien vue sur l'océan...

A simple motel with comfortable beds. Location was perfect for a visit to the Hearst castle. Very convenient. The gentleman at the front desk we arrived the evening prior was very friendly and helpful.

Parking situation was poor. There aren't enough spaces for the hotel guests. Also the complementary breakfast voucher is a waste of time. The restaurant that is associated with the hotel that excepts the breakfast voucher has the worst service I've seen in a long time. Don't even waste your time getting the complementary breakfast and less you'd like to sit around for a while and get a poor quality danish and cold coffee while you're waiting for your milk to arrive.

Very close and convenient to the Hearst Castle and the beach. Everything in the town is super close though.

Wasn't special in any way. Just another motel by the water, could have stayed in any random motel with th same experience.

Hôtel situé à seulement 5 minutes en voiture de hearst castle et disposant juste à côté d'un excellent restaurant mexicain, nous avons eu la chance d'avoir une chambre très bien placée face à l'océan.

à 5 minutes du château hearst la chambre était tres jolie et confortable le personnel tres aimable qualitée prix ecellent

Could not shower as bath water was a horrible dark yellow, so bad I took a picture. Saunas water was cold until evening even though it was supposedly open from 9 till 9. Coffee maker did not work. However beds were comfy. Needs some work! Stayed here 5 years ago and it was much nicer. No continental breakfast . Won't stay here again.

Workers playing loud Spanish music in the laundry room with door open early in the morning, we could hear it in our room several doors down.

Location.

Sheets and blankets didn't fit the bed and were old and wrinkled. Pillows were smelly. Toilet paper was stiff and unusable.

We went with another couple. King room with balcony. Awesome stay. Clean, quiet, beach right across hwy...easy access. Would recommend and definately stay again.

Hands down, the best value in the area by far. Makes sense why they have so many positve reviews, great stay all around. Location is great. Restaurant/bar on site. Rooms very clean. Can't be beat at that price.

As many have said before, the only thing that would really help would be AC units in the room. It was 80 when we were there, and the rooms felt stuffy in the afternoon even with windows open.

Cheap, fridge and microwave.

Slow wifi, no AC, crappy soap.

it was a good location and cheap. bathrooms were not that clean, toilet was weird, coffeemaker was broken.

No shampoo or conditioner provided. It was available in a vending machine.

Nothing

The beds, towels, and blanks dirty.

Great location, beautiful view, spotless nicely decorated suite with small patio, fireplace, refrigerator, large bathroom, jacuzzi tub. Full breakfast buffet included. Friendly staff.....al and all a perfect weekend get away!

Expensive but a great room right on the water in the middle of summer!

It was near the beach.

The room was a little dated and the bed was NOT comfortable. Also it made me itchy and I think something bit me.

I was OK with the rate I was paying until I was checking in. The desk clerk was on the phone and was offering this person a "walk-in rate" $50 less than I had paid. Was a little upset.

Spa + firepit at sunset, fireplace, and free warm breakfast. It was close to the beach and resturants.

Nothing

Clean, Quiet and helpful at the desk.

Comfortable, friendly service, right by the beach so super convenient. Gorgeous view of the water and even saw whiles. Nice pool.

The location and facilities are very nice. I particularly enjoyed their hot tub.

We were told that there was free afternoon sangria and that the wine bar served wine and bar snacks until 11:30 PM. Neither statement is exactly true. There is free sangria but only until the very limited amount they make runs out – and they refuse to make more even though they have the ingredients available – and the bar only serves snacks until the staff gets tired of making them – which was very much earlier in the evening than is advertized.

Breakfast

Everything was OK - nothing stands out as being very good. Online it looks like it will be cottages. However, it is much more like a Motel 6. The rooms are not cottages, but long hallways with rooms on either side. Very few rooms have a water room. The breakfast was poor.

Location

The bedding was scratchy, and the beds were uncomfortable. The rooms are outdated, and the outlets are hard to get to. The morning breakfast help was grouchy.

The location of this hotel was absolutely fabulous, as was the front desk staff. One night here was truly not enough. This hotel is a gem and the restaurant next door was wonderful, too.

Our room was beautiful with great views of Ocean and rolling foothills. Within walking distance of restaurants, bars and beach boardwalks. Less than a mile from downtown Cambria. Very friendly and helpful staff. Prompt and thorough.

There was no air conditioning unit. We were reliant on opening windows and a singular fan in the room.

Clean place nice decor friendly staff GREAT location!

My room did not have a view :-/

The Burton Inn was a cool little place. Close to all the shops, restaurants, and bars. My wife and I had a great time exploring Cambria and wine tasting at all the locations. Had a great bed and breakfast feel and was real treat to try something new.

Bien situé

Il n'y a rien

Perfect half way point between San Fransisco and LA along the PCH. I'd stay here again, beautiful view of the rocky coast and there are harbor seals that rest on the shore right in front of the hotel. About 15 minutes north their is also a viewing area for elephant seals. The room was spacious, and the bed was super comfy. There is a breakfast but we chose to go across the highway (2 minute drive) to the cute little town to have dinner and breakfast.

The shower was a tad small and the hot tub was not very hot but those were minor negatives in overall stay.

Not worth the price asked for the room. You made it look so plush in your computer website, I've traveled a lot in my lifetime and the place was a cheap place trying hard to look good but doesn't quite cut it!! The price per night should have been about $125-135 and not in the $200 range. I have stayed some years back in the cottages next door and they were decorated with opulence reflecting the price you pay.

grounds and garden were beautiful; enjoyed bungalow with patio. proximity to ocean

Pool, breakfast, location

Didn't have hot water one day, didn't have room cleaned one day.

Most amazing breakfast I've ever had - everything from scratch!

Staff were excellent, the breakfast was amazing. Location was great to walk to nearby shops and restaurants. The gardens and back porch were also wonderful. Liked the afternoon 5-6 snacks

It may be that our expectations re b&bs are unrealistic. The room decor was very dated and unappealing. The bath was off the gathering room, tiny shower stall and sink.

We've loved this place, good location and comfortable. We came back the second time for all the good reasons it offers. We like the staff, facility and great continental breakfast. It is a very good place to watch the sunset and have leisurely walk in the morning. It's a great play to stay for either a long weekend or extended stay, family or couples. Highly recommended!!!

Love being across from the beach. Very good service and ALL stff. Will stay there again
