The wifi was nearly nonexistent. People next door were on the walkway that leads to all 2nd story rooms chatting away into the evening - although they weren’t yelling - it was noisy and difficult to focus on a phone conversation even with my door closed. I politely asked them to tone it down - and they did, for about 10 minutes . . . To be fair, they stopped by 10 PM. The water in the jacuzzin looked green - really - I passed.

Veronica the receptionist was very helpful and courteous from day 1, she tried her best to help us into our preferred room with a fireplace, we walked in with our booking and she was pleasant and very informative about the property and for future stays showed us other rooms available if our favorite rooms isn’t available. She exceeded above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. 5 star review for her hospitality.

Old-style motel in San Simeon

Old style motel. Room was quite small but clean, and it was very reasonably priced. The bed was comfortable but very high off the ground (an issue for a short person like myself). Coffeemaker in the room but no breakfast offered. The motel was not full but we had people staying on either side of us so it was a bit noisy. Very convenient to Hearst Castle, restaurants in Cambria, and the Pacific Ocean!

This hotel is on a large property with a spacious courtyard. Our room had a small balcony which we enjoyed. Hearst Castle, Elephant Seals (and Otters!), the light house, and Moonstone beach are all short drives away. Parking is easy. We had an issue with the first room we were given, but the front desk quickly assigned us to another room. They ask to let them know if you are arriving late. The Big Sur restaurant next door makes a reliable breakfast with American and Mexican-American choices. San Simeon is a quiet place, especially when the 1 to Monterey is closed. However, it's easy to link a trip here with Paso Robles, Cambria, or Cayucos.
