The view was spectacular! Bed so comfortable and having the seats by the fireplace was so nice. We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant which was really good.

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.
Almost everything is very good. The room was unexpectedly good when it comes to bed comfort and cleanliness. The location of the property is superb. The bonus part was that the beach is just across the street and its breathtaking. There's a grocery store within the hotel area where you can buy stuff you need during your stay. food options are also available even during the night. Would recommend to all who needs a place to stay when going for an adventure 2 day trip along the scenic Pacific Highway 1 in CA.
We enjoyed our recent stay in San Simeon, the accommodation was very good and met all of our needs. The onsite facilities including the restaurant were excellent. The location was ideal for our planned visit to Hearst castle. We spent two nights at the lodge and ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast, the food was very good and the service excellent.
We needed a late check in and the procedure was very smooth. The staff was very friendly and warned us about road closures and the detour we had to take. We liked the location near Hearst Castle. We didn’t really hope for a breakfast so anything was better than nothing. I’m a Triumph bike fan so I loved the logos and the bike in the lobby.
Nicely located at the Beach of San Simeon.
Perfect place to slow down before or after you crossed Big Sur on road 1.
Room was clean and spacious.
It’s very close to the Hearst beach / pier and also his castle (castle was just closed when I was there but there are opportunities to visit it).
Further, nice place to watch the elephant seals.
Fantastic customer service. Neal and his staff go above and beyond expectations. Newly remodeled rooms are awesome. The free breakfast was delicious, and a balcony and ocean view for under $150 is insane. Used to stay at The Morgan when staying in San Simeon, but the Pacific Coast Roadhouse is our new stay, just fantastic.
The walking area along the beach looks good, the area where the hotel placed is conviniet for tourists travelling from SF to LA using the first highway and want to stay for one night in the middle of the way. They have bonfires along the beach which creates nice atmosphere
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.
The warm welcome, large room, and pool facilities were all great in spite of 100% rain! So we did not see the hotel's facilities at their best on the 14th March! But the weather is beyond everyone's control.
Sweet staff and cute property in the greatest spot in San Simeon. Walk across the highway, to the beach, great restaurant next door and numerous others, also walking distance.
Comfortable room and bed. The Sands by the Sea shares amenities with the oceanfront Cavalier hotel, including their pool facilities, fire pits, and games. Great perk.
It was clean and a big room. We arrived late after the usual office hours but the staff came out to the hotel after calling the number within 5 minutes.
