We have stayed here twice. Both times the rooms have been very clean and our bed was comfortable. The view is beautiful and the walk to the beach is 2min.

We stopped here for our weekend winery tour and the view from the rooms are spectacular. You can see the sunset clearly and the water is just two minutes walk from the hotel. Totally worth the price ?

Beautiful wood shutter shades in the room. Left the windows open all night and you can hear the roar of the surf.

Disaster...Over $300 for a Saturday night living in a motel room like this one? I call it a daylight ROBBERY!!!I would be more than happy to spend less than $100 per night during weekdays or no more than $150 per night on Friday or Saturday, Which is the normal price on bookings, even have lower price.I checked on bookings, normaPlus, the sea view is not satisfactory at all. Super small window, and there are houses in the front to block your view. The front desk has no service. There is no hairdryer in our room and she asked us to go downstairs and grab it from the desk. Yeah, it's just a regular motel, what service could I expect for?We booked several hotels ranging $300-400 per night, this one's quality, ambience, service definitely does NOT match the price. Even there is festival or somewhat happen here. The owner should be shamed for charging/rob this much.

If you try to check in early you will be whipped and flogged with a cat and nine tail. [/sarcasm]. I'm half joking. After a long 3 hour drive from Monterey (the 1 highway is still under repair), I had to go. I had to go, bad. I was told there are no bathrooms. "Anywhere? What kind of a hotel is this?" Nope. Had to wait 25 minutes until 3pm check in. I get the feeling they're severely understaffed here. Once in the room, they're not too bad. Clean, newer carpeting. No a/c but the sea breeze was enough. Ocean view from the 2nd floor was nice and a quick walk down the block to a very private black sand beach. Can't beat the location... or the price. Don't eat anywhere here. Drive the 8 minutes to Cambria where there are wonderful restaurants.

It has been a while since we were able to go to the coast and to our favorite place San Simeon where we stay at The Sea Breeze. This place is comfortable, clean and run by a great family that we have come to know over the years. The rooms had been redone and look nice. however they eliminated the table and chair that sat by the window where we could enjoy the view have glass of wine talk or play cards. There was only 1 office desk chair and if you leaned back you would tip over. Also, the bed frame was jacked up and sitting on the bed my feet could not touch the floor and I'm a 6 foot male making it hard to get dressed but easy to trip getting out of bed. This need to be fixed!

The lady who checked us in was very nice and they sent somebody to snake out the toilet, which wouldn't flush. I was concerned that meant the room wouldn't be clean and the refrigerator stunk and had puddles on the glass shelves. The shower has no water pressure whatsoever and a small device which appears as a dehumidifier or heater comes on for a minute every twenty minutes or so, whether it's needed or not. Like others, I didn't want to touch the small wall device, so I left both windows open to keep the room aired out. You can enjoy the sounds of the waves at night, juxtaposed with loud snoring from the next room over. The wifi works with a password, but the DHCP lease doesn't last more than an hour, so you constantly must re-login. The pillows are uncomfortable and made my neck sore.Most stuff in San Simeon is terrible and overpriced...nothing should get 5-stars, but this property could get 4-stars if it did regular maintenance and cleaning. It doesn't have an eatery attached like some of the adjacent hotels.Beach access is easy at the end of the street and you'll notice a small cadre of folks who drive or walk at sunrise and sunset. The actual rooms had some updating done in the last decade (the tile style gives it away) but they really need maintenance and cleaning.

My husband found this motel while searching online. Right along Highway 1 but removed enough that traffic noise is not an issue. Fast and easy access to Hearst Castle, Cambria and the elephant seal viewing area, though you have to drive to all 3 places. Nice view from the window. It appears as if the rooms have been redone and upgraded. We found the mattress and pillows to be comfy. Also the bathroom was clean. The woman at the front desk who checked us in was super friendly and helpful. My husband's former manager retired over 20 years ago and bought a small farm in Cambria. The woman hadn't heard of the farm but she directed us to the road where the farm is located. Probably the only downside is that you can hear the people in the rooms next door if they are speaking loudly, but I wear earplugs when I sleep. I would return here if we visit San Simeon again.
