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.

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 of America - 10Scored 10
San Simeon is just one of those cool places that are not...
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 of America - 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 of America - 10Scored 10

We are from Southern California, so other than being cooler than expected and overcast in the morning in August, the weather was great. The scenery is picturesque and there is tons to do. The hotel gave us a guidebook/map of the area and it listed so many fun activities, way more than you can do in a weekend vacation. Of course, Hearst Castle is the star. We did not get to see the lighthouse due to odd hours. We couldn't even park nearby to just take pictures. Cambria is only five miles away for shopping and dining and Harmony is just another five miles south for ice cream, photos, and gift shopping.AAnonymousChina

- From $139.77 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 1,213 reviewsWe love this wonderful old hotel. We stay here at least 2 times a year. The architecture is lovely and Julia Morgan has drafts of Hearst castle adorning the wall. The pipes make noise, no air conditioning, bathrooms are dark. We love every nuance of this place. The location if perfect. We are near the castle and Cambria. The beaches below the hotel are very nice! We are local and love San Simeon ❤️. Staying at the hotel is like going back in time. Even though we live only 45 minutes south, the unobstructed view of the ocean is marvelous!PaulUnited States of America
- From $135.21 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 933 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 $88.88 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 1,889 reviewsWe enjoyed our recent stay in San Simeon, the accommodation was very good and met all of our needs. The onsite facilities including the restaurant were excellent. The location was ideal for our planned visit to Hearst castle. We spent two nights at the lodge and ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast, the food was very good and the service excellent.DaveUnited Kingdom
- From $105.75 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 787 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.
