Top Coastal Discovery Center at San Simeon Bay Hotel Reviews

Sands by The Sea

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, comparable to a motel 6. The room service was nice, the staff was prompt and friendly. The main perk is this hotel shares the same grounds and accommodations as The Cavalier Resort. The evening staff were very welcoming and attentive. Loved the fresh baked cookies at check-in. The morning staff weren't rude, just not as enthusiastic as the others. Wi-Fi was good. The attached restaurant was amazing, also is where your room service comes from. Would definitely recommend and visit again, this is a good budget and family friendly choice."

Sea Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everything good"

Cambria Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very welcoming staff and the room was spotless. The rooms are fairly small and not much space for a lot of luggage, but perfect for a shorter stay. Location is perfect, right across from the ocean. Overall I would definitely recommend."

Hampton Inn San Simeon Cambria

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay. Staff was very helpful from check-in to check-out."

The Morgan San Simeon - Cambria by Hearst Castle

8/10 Good

"The room itself is beautiful but there aren’t enough stuffs. Very limited service and the breakfast menu is very basic. The hotel doesn’t have any elevator and not convenient for disabled travelers. You need to carry your bags through the stairs. Overall, okay deal but don’t expect anything special!"

Sand Pebbles Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great amenities, staff and location. We will definitely come again!"

Pelican Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Great location across the beach with spectacular ocean views. Our room on the ground floor with outdoor patio was spacious and clean. The bathroom was dated and in need of some repairs (cracked floor tiles, loose cheap white caulking around the sink and bathtub, insects around the sink, etc.). The king size bed was very comfortable and the sitting area featured a gas fireplace. Room service was not existent. Requested to check the TV for a fuzzy picture multiple times and it never happened. I ended up fiddling and removing/reinserting cables on the back until I got an HD picture. Room service did happen (finally) after stopping at the lobby and talking to Garrett multiple times. The daily "breakfast" is a joke: coffee, a slice of bread, and a tiny cup of yoghurt. Over all, I recommend it because of its location across the ocean, the breathtaking view, and its proximity to everything in beautiful Cambria."

Silver Surf Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The property is clean."

Coast Riders Inn

8/10 Good

"Lovely people who go out of there way to help you. Very welcoming. Check-in was really quick. The place is a bit dated but it’s great for an overnight stop."
