Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Dirty. Feet were black. Hair all over bathroom. Shower falling apart. Man that checked me in didn’t say one word to me. Makes sense why there were like 5 cars in the lot on a Saturday night. Fridge was off and smelled like rotten food. Only perk was that they had a nice grass area for dogs. Charged me 25$ for him though- the resort I stayed at the next couple of nights didn’t. Wouldn’t stay again. Better spending your money elsewhere.

Room was great and quiet. The bed was very comfortable, but was way too high above the ground. I needed a step stool, but none was provided. I’m 5”1. This has never been a problem before. Otherwise we really liked it.

Very, very good choice for inexpensive lodging right in the heart of San Simeon. Walk to restaurants, groceries, bars, and the ocean & beach is right across the street. When I checked in I asked for a quiet room on an upper floor and they gave me exactly that. Excellent front desk service. Room was clean, comfortable, and VERY QUIET. Lots of free parking and they have a hot tub on site also. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Room was clean, the bed was comfortable, price was good compared to other motels, and location was convenient. Check in clerk was not very friendly. All that process he didn't smile nor say thank you. He gave us a map of the motel, marked where we were and marked our room without saying a word to explain. Bed was comfortable but the pillows were horrible. There were 4 pillows on bed. They were tiny, high, and firm. I had bad neck pain throughout the night and in the morning. Couldn't get the tiny TV to work. It turned on but no programs at all so nothing to watch. We stayed on the first floor. We could hear the footsteps above our room. We only stayed for one night. The price was ok for what we got.
