Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

A quiet and clean place...

Liked: The room was clean and the bedding was comfortable. There was a shower stall rather than a bathtub. The refrigerator was helpful for holding food we brought with us and leftovers from restaurants. There was a small coffee maker in the room, and the coffee and powdered creamer and sweetener was satisfactory. The wifi was fast and reliable. The room had a portable oscillating fan that was perfect for keeping cool and drying our towels and bathing suits. There's a workout room in decent condition with a couple of treadmills, a couple of ellipticals, and a stationary bike. There's a convenience store, San Simeon Liquors, a short walk from the motel that has local wines, snacks, quick foods, a cappuccino machine, and some souvenirs. The beach is a medium walk across Highway 1. I appreciated that the motel has posted quiet hours of 10 pm to 8 am, and it stayed quiet all night. San Simeon is a good place to stay because it's close to Hearst Castle and a short drive from Cambria and Cayucos, where there are great restaurants and beaches. This is a dog-friendly motel so there are a lot of visiting dogs on the premises. The dogs were mostly quiet, which was nice.
Disliked: Just a couple small complaints: I wish they'd left 2 extra rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom for peace of mind. There wasn't a hangtag on the door so we could tell the house staff not to clean our room. I wish there was a hot tub/spa, but it probably would have been crowded on chilly nights.

The kindness of the staff...

Liked: I like that it has a restaurant and bar area with a pool table. We love the people, everybody was kind.
Disliked: The rooms had a light smell, like old or musty. I don’t like carpet on the bedroom. No microwave.
