Stayed one night at this hotel on our way from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Room is a bit musty, but spacious. It has a nice and comfortable bed and a fridge (which we were happy about, we could cool our drinks for the next day). Nice reception staff. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant, we had dinner at the Cavalier... More

I was warned I needed to book accomodations before arriving in the area that day. So quick research brought me to this place (also noted in Fodors travel book, lonely planet). Price seemed right at $60 midweek with 2 beds (and breakfast I think). Prepaid with a credit card. I called later in the evening to say I wouldn't be... More

We stayed next door at the Courtesy Inn but were lured to the San Simeon Lodge bar by the sign that said $5 margaritas...We then noticed that Karaoke was being offered later by an Elvis impersonator. We definitely had to return!!! Had a ball with lots of singing by the crowd (and us) in English and Spanish and especially enticing... More

We were mixed ages staying together so the half-wall that divided one queen bed from another was great. The hotel is close to HearstC so it suited us, especially as we lost track of time and had to zip to HC within 15 min. Made it within legal speed! Enjoyed a great marguerita in their bar post-HC tour. Price was... More

We had stayed here after Hearst Castle visit. Rooms are clean, even have frig in the room. They have heated outdoor pool, fitness center, restaurant onsite, and free WIFI. Front desk are very friendly. Though we had trouble with WIFI when we first arrived, they get it fixed eventually. Only 10 minutes away from Hearst Castle, and Piedras Blancas Elephant... More

Spent one night in March 2013. While the pool was lovely, and the location convenient, I couldn't ever get past the very musty smell in the room. We tried to air it out with the windows and door open, but it was beyond that. I would not stay there again.

We wanted to stay somewhere close to Hearst Castle, and I found the San Simeon Lodge on TripAdvisor and was intrigued by the low price and good reviews. Driving up, we got a little nervous just at the appearance of the motel, but once we got checked in it was totally fine. Room was generally clean, if worn, and the... More

We stayed here for one night before visiting Hearst Castle. It is conveniently located off Highway 1, not far from the Hearst Castle turnoff and Piedras Blancas. We checked in rather late. Front desk staff was friendly. We got a -10% coupon for the restaurant next door (San Simeon Beach Bar & Grill). We had gotten a special deal ($49... More

We chose this as just a place to sleep the day we visited Hearst Castle, so we didn't expect much to begin with. You get what you pay for in the room. The gentleman at the front desk was personable and very helpful. There isn't much around the area, but it was conveniently close enough to Hearst Castle, the beaches,... More
