Nice, clean, spacious rooms. Very friendly, cooperative manager. Lovely breakfast around the fire. Perfect stay. more

As a young traveler I have experienced some horrifying hotels, but this hotel had even me asking for a refund. I am now in a long term relationship with a child and scary hotels are no longer acceptable. My partner and I were traveling through the Big Sur area and decided to stay here overnight and then visit Hearst Castle... more

My husband and I were traveling (minus kids) for a getaway weekend. We stayed one night at the Quality Inn San Simeon and had a great experience. Check in was quick and easy and our room was wonderful. We had a king size room, with a balcony overlooking the garden, a huge bathtub whirpool and a fireplace. The room was... more

I sometimes wonder whether I'm at the same hotel as other reviewers. I had no trouble at all at this hotel and found it a friendly and clean place to stay, albeit in need of a little updating. And the breakfast was fine (perhaps acting in the previous reviewers comments!?). I arrived in San Simeon a day early due to... more

We reserved a handicap room on 1st floor. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable, but the bathroom was DEFINITELY NOT handicap accessible. The toilet rocked back... more

Believe it or not, we've stayed here three times over the past 20 years, back when it was known as the El Rey Inn. The first time was back in 1982. We stayed in the Jacuzzi Suite and was highly impressed. A two-room suite with a refrigerator and microwave. It was very comfortable and clean. Only complaint we had was... more

This was a nice, simple hotel. We stayed for one night while visiting Hearst Castle. The price was good ($63 + tax), and the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very basic, but adequate. I would stay there again. more

We were disappointed with the stay here, The hotel is outdated and the grounds and surrounding area is run down. I knew as we drove up to the hotel that it was not what I expected from the photos I had seen on the hotel's website. The breakfast was nothing more than cereal and toast, very limited. There are much... more
