    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I always stay on Moonstone Beach Drive in Cambria right across the street from the beach and this time I reached into a new comfort zone wanted to try out San Simeon and was delightfully surprised by our stay the beds were amazingly comfortable we had a downstairs room with a view of the ocean the bathrooms were remodeled and awsome. I could walk down to the beach in five minutes. The girls staff members were super friendly I would definitely do a stay there again after 20 years of staying on moonstone delighted to find this new hidden gem.

    Pacific Coast is one of the few hotels that continues to provide a hot breakfast of eggs and bacon as well as yogurt, cereal, and pastries. The room has a microwave and refrigerator. I usually bring my own food so I appreciate that convenience. The bed is comfortable. The room has hardwood floors and is nicely decorated. Because this hotel is usually the lowest price when I am searching for places to stay thanks to booking.com VIP status, I have booked this hotel at least 5 times in 1.5 years.

    Beautifully maintained grounds, stunning views over the coast. the food in the restaurant was delicious and very reasonably priced considering the isolated location. Room service was good too, we had a lovely breakfast in the room. Our room had a fireplace and balcony overlooking the sea and was very clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. The hotel also has a few cats on site but we only managed to see one! The staff onsite were also excellent!

    Grounds were well maintained. Pet friendly. Pacific views were breathtaking. Enjoyed the walking trail on the site. Best part was that everything was in one place and very convenient to get to from our pet friendly lodge room.

    I liked that our room was so close to the beach and that we had 2 pools to chose from, also that it is pet friendly, we took our dog and the room was perfect on the first floor.
