There are so many things I liked about the San Simeon Lodge that it would be hard to say it all here. There were 30 of us and we had 13 rooms. The hotel staff was fantastic. We had all our family activities (except the Hearst Castle) right there on the grounds. Grass, pool, beach, bar, restaurant and minimart who... More

The wifi was not good. Said it worked but was really bad, and didn't conect for all in our group. The bed was really good, big and soft, one of the best ones. At night it was really cold, and no heating in the room. And the showers were tricky and the pressure was bad.. Over all good, but just... More

This hotel is very reasonablly priced. The room showed signs of wear, but it was clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. Though it doesn't matter to me, be advised that there is no bath tub (at least not in my room) only a shower. Our room had a nice view of the ocean and a table and chairs right outside... More

My fiance and I stopped in San Simeon on our way up to Big Sur. We booked San Simeon Lodge because of their pet friendly policy. We had a spacious room and it didn't smell like pets at all and our dog was happy. We had a hilarious time at their bar which has karaoke. All in all, a good... More

Room was ok, smelt a bit dampish. Bed was comfy and clean. Pool was closed although it was a lovely hot day which was disappointing. We had breakfast in the restaurant which was nice. We had our evening meal over the road in the Cavalier which was lovely. The Best Western over the road looks a bit better than this... More

Stayed one night at this hotel on our way from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Room is a bit musty, but spacious. It has a nice and comfortable bed and a fridge (which we were happy about, we could cool our drinks for the next day). Nice reception staff. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant, we had dinner at the Cavalier... More

I was warned I needed to book accomodations before arriving in the area that day. So quick research brought me to this place (also noted in Fodors travel book, lonely planet). Price seemed right at $60 midweek with 2 beds (and breakfast I think). Prepaid with a credit card. I called later in the evening to say I wouldn't be... More

We stayed next door at the Courtesy Inn but were lured to the San Simeon Lodge bar by the sign that said $5 margaritas...We then noticed that Karaoke was being offered later by an Elvis impersonator. We definitely had to return!!! Had a ball with lots of singing by the crowd (and us) in English and Spanish and especially enticing... More

We were mixed ages staying together so the half-wall that divided one queen bed from another was great. The hotel is close to HearstC so it suited us, especially as we lost track of time and had to zip to HC within 15 min. Made it within legal speed! Enjoyed a great marguerita in their bar post-HC tour. Price was... More
