Top San Simeon Hotel Reviews

Coast Riders Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Easy in and out access to Highway 1, clean and renovated rooms, cool history of the site, and friendly and helpful attendant checked us in and out. Great stay and no issues or concerns at all!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Paso Robles

10/10 Excellent

"I loved La Quinta! It is close to Vina Robles and everything else Paso Robles has to offer. The only thing I wish they had open was their bar, which looked very nice and clean (almost as if it had never been used). But overall, I loved our stay here and would definitely stay again"

Ragged Point Inn and Resort

"Loved every minute of our 2 night stay."

Oxford Suites Paso Robles

"."

Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"This is my go to place to stay in San Simeon. It's affordable and the rooms are decent. The best things I like besides the affordability are the friendly staff (Edward and Maria), the pool and jacuzzi with the fire pit next to it, the continental breakfast and there is a nice beach front across Highway 1 right out front if you walk to the west end of the street. I've stayed here multiple times and Edward provides great customer service. This time I also was assisted by Maria, and she too was amazing. It's not a high end place like places along Moonstone Beach in Cambria, but it's affordable and comfortable with great service and amenities."

Sands by The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"A charming little hotel nestled right on the beach. I especially loved the nightly campfires, which created a cozy atmosphere where guests could sit by the fire and enjoy the beach in the evenings. Unfortunately, the hotel is quite dated and could benefit from better maintenance and some upgrades, especially considering the price. Service was inconsistent, with some staff being friendly and professional while others seemed inexperienced or unhelpful. Room service was technically available but practically nonexistent, as calls often went unanswered or requests were met with confusion. The hotel feels more like a family-run business than a professionally managed resort. While this gives it a certain charm, there is room for improvement in staff training, professionalism, and overall service. Although the hotel is dog-friendly, the restaurant is not, and there is only one outdoor table available beside it, making dining with a dog somewhat inconvenient. Overall, I enjoyed the location and unique atmosphere, particularly the nightly beach campfires. However, with better maintenance, upgraded facilities, and more consistent service, the hotel could offer a much better experience for the price."

Sea Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay."

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

"Nice clean room but walls are thin so we could hear our neighbors!! Close to beachwalk."
