    If you're into nature and the ocean, this is a great place to visit. There are numerous surfing spots. This city is also the home of the Hearst Castle, which holds significant historical values. You can also explore the sea wildlife by watching elephant seals.

    San Simeon is a great spot for quiet relaxation.

    San Simeon is a great spot for quiet relaxation. It's right by the ocean and has several restaurants. It's also just a few minutes drive to Cambria if you want to go for a nice walk on the Moonstone Beach walkway right by the ocean, and then another short drive to Cambria's cute little town.

    The ocean was beautiful.

    The ocean was beautiful. It was great seeing the elephant seals, and all their babies, lots and lots of babies everywhere. Every female seem to have a baby was happy to see the her castle from afar could not take my puppies, so I could not go on the tour. Next time I will go on the tour I will find a pet sitter.

    San Simeon is just one of those cool places that are not over crowded by people and businesses. Different places to stop and explore along this part of the coastline. Besides having Hearst Castle, you can check out the elephant sea lions area and a lighthouse. Just south of San Simeon you have a quick drive over the Moonstone Beach and another 20 min south you have Morro Bay. I think it is a great place to stay when you don't want to be in one of the bigger beach towns, its a more down to earth place when you want to just be in one of the small cozy towns.

    San Simeon state Beach is perfect for families.

    San Simeon state Beach is perfect for families. It's not crowded like Pismo or windy like Avila. Perfect for families. Affordable restaurant options are limited for large families. None really unless you eat at the mini mart.

    Pacific Coast is one of the few hotels that continues to provide a hot breakfast of eggs and bacon as well as yogurt, cereal, and pastries. The room has a microwave and refrigerator. I usually bring my own food so I appreciate that convenience. The bed is comfortable. The room has hardwood floors and is nicely decorated. Because this hotel is usually the lowest price when I am searching for places to stay thanks to booking.com VIP status, I have booked this hotel at least 5 times in 1.5 years.

    The attitude from staff was exceptional. During our trip to US we had 5 stays in different hotels, but I didn't feel so good attitude from hotel staff even with my platinum level in IHG hotel chain compared to exceptional treatment at Coast Riders Inn where we arrived late in the evening after bad luck with accommodation at Big Sur. On the way we had an accident with wild animal and hotel staff was ready to help with repair of the car if that would be necessary.

    Great value for money and easily accessible for a stop-off in San Simeon whilst travelling the west coast. A good variety of restaurants are nearby (literally across the highway). Staff on the reception were really helpful and friendly and the queen beds were super comfortable. Added bonus of a pool (although the weather wasn't great when we were there so we didn't get to use it!)

    The hotel was very comfortable, and the room and facility were very clean. We had an ocean view and a little balcony. The breakfast was far superior to most “included” hotel breakfasts. There was a wide selection, and plenty of food. Edward and his family run the place, and they are very nice folks. We will definitely stay here again. Just minutes to Hearst Castle or Cambria.

    Fantastic customer service. Neal and his staff go above and beyond expectations. Newly remodeled rooms are awesome. The free breakfast was delicious, and a balcony and ocean view for under $150 is insane. Used to stay at The Morgan when staying in San Simeon, but the Pacific Coast Roadhouse is our new stay, just fantastic.

    Extremely dog friendly, huge property, amazing location, every staff member was friendly, courteous and helpful. Room service was great-and fast. Minibar was appreciated. Grateful for the binoculars in the room, as there was plenty of whale watching from our Oceanfront room! Enjoyed the fireplace in our room.

    Great location near Hearst Castle and San Simeon Beach, the employees were very friendly, the room was big and clean. There's a small pool that we did not try out because of the weather and a small bonfire if you want to eat or chill outside.

    A perfect hotel as a stopover on the way up the coast and near the Hearst Castle. Very peaceful and comfortable, with attractive lawns and firepits overlooking the ocean; a great place to enjoy a lovely twilight.

    breakfast is very good for a typical American hotel - cereal, fruits, bagels, waffles, tea, coffee, creamers, pasty - really not bad. Swimming pool is heated - it's nice!

    The hotel is OK if you're on a budget and wish to stay near Cambria, where prices are much higher. Also, very close to Hearst Castle, wich is a great place to visit.
