Nicely appointed and cosy rooms with fireplaces and a partial ocean view. Dog friendly! A bit pricey, but worth it compared to the other hotels in the area. More

We stayed one night in this hotel after a fantastic afternoon visit to Hearst Castle. Whilst a little older in style and decor, it was incredibly clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, giving us tips on what to see in the area (including the elephant seals, amazing!) and good guidance for our further drive on to San... More

Beautiful location and very friendly staff. This hotel is pet friendly and the staff seem to adore their canine guests. The rooms are clean and the beds very comfortable. Each evening the three woodburning chimney fire places are lit on the bluff overlooking the ocean. Wonderful to sit, enjoy the sunset and listen to the waves at night. More

WE only stayed one night, but enjoyed it. Very good location right on the beach : Room very clean, but the pillows were very fat, and not comfortable - had a bad neck ache. Were disappointed that the rate did not include breakfast. More

This appears to be an older motel that has been refurbished. It sits on oceanfront property with a large expanse of lawn for watching the ocean or playing. It looks like it would be a great place for kids. On the lawn there were two outdoor wood fireplaces with chairs grouped around them, and even in the dark you can... More

Our room seemed brand new it was so clean and fresh. Cozy bed and and bedding with many many fluffy pillows. Wonderful wood burning fireplace in our room with wood... More

We stayed at the property 2/5/12 in one of the ocean front fireplace rooms. The bluff side bonfire and beautiful beach front were just amazing. Felt like we stepped back in time. A little vintage, but SOOOO charming. We plan on staying here everytime we return to the central coast. Great location for San Simeon, Elephant Seal Beach, Morro Bay... More

My husband and I stay at this hotel almost everytime we go to San Simeon, and we made a trip there at least once or twice a year. We made the horrible mistake of staying somewhere else and regretted every mintue of it. You cant get a better view, a lovely room and great price in this part of CA,... More

Loved staying at this Best Western. I must admit when my husband booked it, I said "Really, a Best Western?". I was happily surprised at the amenities, friendly staff, nice room on the ocean with a real working fireplace and warming huts on the beach. It got an A+. I would visit this Best Western again. It was so relaxing... More
