Sea Breeze Inn - San Simeon

Simple but very comfortable place. The room looked newly renovated, it was clean and very spacious, equipped with all the usual amenities of US hotels (etc. coffee, microwave, fridge) and it even came with a seaview. The place was ideally located for excursions: the beautiful William Randolf Hearst Memorial State Beach is just a few minutes away by car, the beach packed with elephant seals is no more than a 15-minute drive. I did not visit Hearst Castle but it's also reachable within minutes. At barely above 100 bucks, it was great value for money.

We wanted just a sleepover place, nothing spectacular, so we were positively surprised by nice reviews and also low price of this place. It is really value for money - spacious clean room with big bed and good location if you want to explore San Simeon and other interesting places nearby.

Just as requested, we got a sea view room, upstairs and away from stairs and ice machine. Clean as usual, and the bed was awesome. For once a fridge was set to the right temp!! The freezer kept our ice packs frozen, while keeping our food cool, but not frozen... This is hard to find any more! This was a free night stay, due to comps from Booking for being a long time member. <3

The girl at the front desk was very nice and polite. The room itself was clean and had a great view of the Ocean. No AC but it was not necessary as there was a constant ocean breeze coming in through the windows. Very pleasant. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Had a micro and fridge as well. Also had a wild turkey roaming around the area which was amusing. The location was perfect for our stay as we roamed between Cambria and the Elephant seals lookout. Great Mex restaurant right down the street and a couple others further on down. Don't listen to the bad reviews. Unless you are pretentious and extremely picky, this place is just fine for an economy option. Some people expect the Ritz Carlton from some of these smaller places which is unrealistic. The cell signal is weak here so the Wifi is a must for most carriers except T Mobile for some reason. The Wifi is also not very fast so if streaming is on your agenda, you may find it a bit slow for that. Around 5-7 Mbs. Ice machine downstairs as well as vending machines for snacks and drinks. Overall, this place met our expectations and we would stay here again when in the area.

We stayed for one night on our way down to LA and it was perfect for our family of four. Spacious room and while not upscale accomodation, everything was clean and the beds comfortable. Never used the pool but they recomended breakfast across the road, and it was really nice!
