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.HanUnited States - 10Scored 10

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.MariaUnited States - 10Scored 10
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.Betty AparicioUnited States - 10Scored 10

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.AAnonymousUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.Kristin EdmiastonUnited States

- From £78.73 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 869 reviewsPacific 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.
MelissaUnited States - From £106.32 per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 1,024 reviewsThe 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.
EriksLatvia - From £87.58 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 1,001 reviewsGreat 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!)
NatalieUnited Kingdom - From £131.81 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 2,683 reviewsThe 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.
HillardUnited States - From £78.73 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 869 reviewsFantastic 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.
