"The guy at the front desk was SO nice and gave us a cookie and a toy car during check in. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pool rocks. The rooms ROCK. Retro fridge. Low price. Beautiful location. I’m coming back here every time we come to San Simeon."

"Owner was cool, good vibes. Very welcoming guy. Rooms are clean. Pool and spa are nice. Water pressure and temp were great. Beautiful ocean view off the side"

"Cool owner operated property in San Simeon just minutes from Hearst Castle. The ocean was right across the street and we enjoyed a beautiful Pacific sunset. The owners are friendly, talkative and helpful. The kids had a blast in the pool and overall we had a great experience"

"This is how traveling should be!! This has to be as close to the experience of traveling back in the days of old Route 66 as you can find these days. From the moment we checked in we were looked after and given what felt like VIP service, they know your name and do anything they can to accommodate you (I had a package sent to the wrong hotel and he went and picked it up for me!!). The two gentlemen working the front are masters of their craft. Delightful, funny and utterly genuine. I haven’t been to too many places in this world that provided the experience and made us feel so welcome as they did here."

"The front desk staff are so kind and friendly. They have someone on-site 24/7 in case of emergencies. Great AC. Super clean rooms. Very nice location for Hearst Castle and tourist attractions. Great pool. Lovely breakfast!"
