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!

Very unfriendly staff!! No one mans the front desk, waiting awhile to be helped. When they finally arrived NOT a greeting, smile or anything during our check-in. Pre-reserved room and paid ahead, provided ID and credit card and when he wanted me to sign a little digital signature box, I asked what am I signing and he just said confirmation. Upon arrival was given an upstairs room. With most the parking lot empty, I requested a first floor room us being a little older. After several excuses by the front receptionist, he finally did it. We were just below where we would have been upstairs. There were literally 7 cars in the whole parking lot (which included 4 for our families stay) and we only stayed one night.

Staff was excellent. Nicely size room and comfortable bed. The pillows looked like throw pillows but surprisingly comfortable and supportive. The freezer needed to be defrosted. High dusting needs to be done on the fan. Wipe down infront of the microwave.

The room was tidy but the floors needed mopping and the sheets had stains. The hot tub was absolutely disgusting. It was yellow brown water and smelled like dirty homeless folks clothes had been soaking in it. No one could use it and when I checked out on Sunday November 2nd, the man at the counter argued with me and made every excuse he could think of instead of just saying... im sorry the hot tub wasnt clean, I'll make sure its addressed. He had the nerve to tell me he had seen it and tested it that morning and it was "up to par"..... but then a minute later said it is " self cleaning" but it never gets the chance to clean itself because people are always in it. I wasn't looking for anything for free.... I was just truly disappointed for mine and the 5 other families who wanted to use it. We will be staying elsewhere next time.
