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.MariaUnited States - 10Scored 10
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.Betty AparicioUnited States - 10Scored 10

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.AAnonymousUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.Kristin EdmiastonUnited States - 10Scored 10

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.AAnonymousChina

I could walk down to the beach in five minutes. The girls staff members were super friendly I would definitely do a stay there again after 20 years of staying on moonstone delighted to find this new hidden gem.LLisaUnited States
- From US$179.22 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 1,202 reviewsWe love this wonderful old hotel. We stay here at least 2 times a year. The architecture is lovely and Julia Morgan has drafts of Hearst castle adorning the wall. The pipes make noise, no air conditioning, bathrooms are dark. We love every nuance of this place. The location if perfect. We are near the castle and Cambria. The beaches below the hotel are very nice! We are local and love San Simeon ❤️. Staying at the hotel is like going back in time. Even though we live only 45 minutes south, the unobstructed view of the ocean is marvelous!PaulUnited States

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.UtaAustria
