San Simeon Lodge

"The staff was friendly and helpful. Great tips. I was traveling on my own and felt very safe. Hotel was very clean. I loved my ocean view. It was exactly what I expected and I would stay there again. I wish that smoking was not allowed so close to the hotel. I wanted to open my window and feel the ocean breeze but didn’t enjoy the waft of cigarette smoke from downstairs. And this was even at 7:45am"

I had a better experience here than at hotels that were far more expensive."
