Coast Riders Inn, hotel in San Simeon

Set in San Simeon, 500 metres from Arroyo del padre juan, Coast Riders Inn offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The hotel features an indoor pool, hot tub and a shared lounge....

Loved the indoor pool and jacuzzi after a long drive; loved the room decor and the retro fridge and microwave; loved the large, king bed; and most of all loved the incredible staff, who happily went the extra mile more than once, and were so honest when I accidentally left my phone in the room — they kept it for us and were relieved and delighted to see us hours later after we noticed its absence (while in the bus going up to Hearst Castle).

    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.

    Grounds were well maintained. Pet friendly. Pacific views were breathtaking. Enjoyed the walking trail on the site. Best part was that everything was in one place and very convenient to get to from our pet friendly lodge room.

    As motels go, this was quite nice. Rooms were spacious and clean, and hotel is well back from the road, so not much traffic noise. In fact all the rooms face the sea. Wifi was also password protected.
