This motel is a great location for exploring the area. Not crowded at all - San Simeon is very different from other small beach towns. Just motels, a few restaurants and one liquor store.
The registration was super quick and easy, staff was efficient.
When we drove into parking lot, my “dirt alert” went up. People has thrown out cups, food, bags and old sodas, etc onto lot. Got out of car and entrance had spilled sodas, nasty towel by ice machine. Almost turned around to go somewhere else.
But went to room and was SO surprised! It was spotless, bright and well furnished. The beds were very comfortable, TV worked without a glitch, small microwave and refrigerator ( although it was too cold - couldn’t really find right temp). Small little patio with 2 clean chairs. Bathroom clean and shower was fine with products present. Had a nice little breakfast room with an all right breakfast.
All in all, I’d stay there again, but would certainly like it if they would clean up entryway and parking lot.
