3-Star Hotels in San Simeon

So after a long day of driving south on Pacific 1, both wifey and I were weary and happy to see the Morgan Hotel sign as we came out of the mountains. When we walked into the lobby, there was nice music playing and we were greeted by friendly staff. The room presents nicely when you walk in hence the nice photos online. Then you start seeing the signs of age. The small fridge was very old and door would not close properly. There is no microwave in the room. There was a table fan provided and it was ok to keep you semi cool during the night. Honestly when driving down the Pacific 1, we found it was a common theme when you are close to the ocean so maybe it's not a thing but we found it very strange not having AC in the room. Pros Easy to get to once you emerge from the mountains. It is in San Simeon which is basically a community of hotels. Free parking Pet friendly Comfortable bed and pillows Our room had a fireplace and super comfy couch. Updated bathroom Very nice pool area and breakfast area Cons Very bad internet. I could not even get my laptop to connect! We were at the end of the hall so that may have been part of the cause. I'm a computer guy so internet is important to me. When I finally did get to connect, the speed was less than 1Mbps. This is barely enough to check your email these days. The room was very empty and could easily handle getting rid of the little round side table and adding a nice coffee table in front of the couch OR adding a desk and chair. The room is large but the space is poorly utilized. The TV and remote are a throwback to the 80's. The remote is so old that the finish was rubbing off the back. No sleep timer on the TV. As others have stated the breakfast is terrible. There is basically yogurt and bagels. Nothing is hot, no eggs, no bacon, no sausage. There is ample room to provide a typical continental breakfast and this is the first hotel we've stayed at on our 12 day highway 1 adventure that provided such a bad breakfast. Even the bare basic Best Western hotels have a superior breakfast experience. Summary If you just staying a night and don't care about internet or breakfast, this was a nice clean, reasonably priced hotel with a comfy bed and pillows and clean bathroom.

Eh... wow?! I'm traveling California for the 16th day now. That is about 10 hotels up until now for my family of four. (Tennagers...). This hotel in the middle of road #1, San semion, is by far the sweetest surprise we've encountered. 1. Think we got upgraded with no notice cause the room I ordered looked much smaller in the pics. Got a huge room with two separate sleeping areas. Very comfortable. Big bathroom area, devided by a door from the separate kitchen. 2. Fair!!! Prices in rooms minibar (and snacks) are identical to the ones in the hotel restaurant and those are... well, fair. 3. Said restaurant is pretty good by itself... had dinner and breakfast and both were nice and completely satisfying. 4. Pools.. indoor, outdoor. And the most important thing - it's ON the beach. Waterfront is no joke. You wake up to the sounds of the ocean. This is by far the most beautiful hotel's view I've seen. A place to come back to....

Excellent location, invincible sea view, beautiful sunset, highly recommended!

The location is good on the side of Highway 1. The surrounding restaurants are convenient, parking is also convenient, and there is an outdoor swimming pool, which is highly praised!

We stopped here for a night and were pleasantly surprised. The room was very clean and comfortable with a big comfortable bed, probably one of the most comfortable beds of our trip and we've stayed in more expensive accommodations on this trip It's always good when one fine's somewhere like this. It was excellent value and would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

In a small town like San Simeon, the hotel's price/performance ratio is very good, clean and tidy, American breakfast is also good, separated from the sea by a road, the fly in the ointment is that when Ctrip booked the room, it was specially requested to choose a king bed Gaza hair bed, and went to the hotel to enter the room. There is a king (we clearly write that two sophomores and four people stay), there is no way to carry the luggage from the second floor, to the front desk to ask, said that Trip.com sent them to them to ask for a king room, I said that I need to contact Trip.com? The front desk was very happy to agree to change to king + sofa bed, everything was solved smoothly!

The location is very good and there is a viewing platform within walking distance, so you can walk on the white sand, enjoy a good light car, and have a coffee maker and microwave in the room. The bedding was good and the heater's performance was amazing. I would like to give a fairly good rating for the price.

The hotel room can see the sunset, the health bar is a general motel, very close to the beach, the restaurant next to the hotel tastes good, recommend New York steak, there is another point I am not sure, I received theft the next day after leaving the store I swiped the credit card information, because the card that was stolen was the first time I swiped the deposit, and I still paid a deposit at the next hotel, so each accounted for 50%. It is recommended that you close the credit card non-swipe transaction, just in case!

This hotel is still good, you can see the sea, it is very close to the Walrus Beach and the ancient castle, and it is also beautiful at night, and there are food nearby, but we are really a bit deserted in winter.
