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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
I always stay on Moonstone Beach Drive in Cambria right across the street from the beach and this time I reached into a new comfort zone wanted to try out San Simeon and was delightfully surprised by our stay the beds were amazingly comfortable we had a downstairs room with a view of the ocean the bathrooms were remodeled and awsome. 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.
Beautifully maintained grounds, stunning views over the coast. the food in the restaurant was delicious and very reasonably priced considering the isolated location. Room service was good too, we had a lovely breakfast in the room. Our room had a fireplace and balcony overlooking the sea and was very clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. The hotel also has a few cats on site but we only managed to see one! The staff onsite were also excellent!
Great value for money and easily accessible for a stop-off in San Simeon whilst travelling the west coast. A good variety of restaurants are nearby (literally across the highway). Staff on the reception were really helpful and friendly and the queen beds were super comfortable. Added bonus of a pool (although the weather wasn't great when we were there so we didn't get to use it!)
The spacy rooms had a nice sitting area and terrace with a great sea view. The hotel is well located at a short driving distance to castle Hearst as well as the beaches to see the Sea Lions. A good location to start the CA 1 route south of the road blocks. The restaurant conveniently located at the same resort offer very good options for breakfast and dinner.
Though food not great, restaurant staff and all staff at hotel was very attentive and friendly. Cleaning staff also very nice.
Room was comfortable with most amenities.
Location is fabulous right on the water with lots of open space. Location was terrific for exploring southern Big Sur a half hour north and towns and beaches just south like Cambria!

All other hotels allow Marijuana smoking and only Silver Surf is smoke free. Tell them Regina sent you! Indoor jacuzzi and pool very nice temperature water. Plus best restaurant in town owned by same people and guests get discount. Choose Silver Surf!
The location is very good. Close to Hearst Castle which is what we were visiting. From the outside San Simeon Lodge looks great. Attractive paint job and beautiful pool. Gardens are well tended. Nice restaurant connected. Front office staff very friendly. Nice balcony also. Plenty of electrical outlets.
Property is pet friendly. Served a free full breakfast, which was pretty good. Rooms are dated. Staff is accommodating and very nice. They should install ceiling fans for something. Even w the slidding door left open the whole time the room got a little stuffy. A fan would’ve helped a lot.
Despite my son's deadly accident the hotel dis not even reply when I asked kindly to vancel the hotel. When I asked Booking.com for help, the hotel did not answer them either. These people are heartless. Don't visit this place!
Breakfast was great. Location is beautiful. Staff are so nice and friendly. This is one of my favorite spots for San simeon.. beach is across what more can you want. Very relaxing. Perfect!!!
The room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel is very close to Hearst Castle and along the beautiful California coastline. We were very happy with the price and our stay.
