The room was impeccably clean, and the staff were exceptionally kind, professional, and attentive. The property has a lovely atmosphere and a convenient location near the ocean. I especially enjoyed starting my morning with a short walk to take in the fresh sea air. Coffee and light breakfast items were also available, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was an excellent stay, and I would gladly return.

Best motel in the area within its price range. The hosts are super friendly and accommodating, and helped me to make a last minute change to my room type with no issues. Service was excellent and the hotel has a nice ocean view. Great location, very close to the elephant seal vista point and hearst castle.

"Keeping it real... there is so much curiosity (and judgment) around age gap relationships. In our case, we met unexpectedly at a business meeting and instantly clicked. Adam is 21 years older than me but in reality, i act like the older one 👵. When two adults make each other genuinely happy, age is just a number. Trust, respect, and real happiness is the mandate." ❤️

The room was exactly as described, and was warm and welcoming. We loved the waters and cookies that were set out for us, and the temp was set for a cool night. The staff were AMAZING- good people to talk with. When we're back in San Simeon, we will definitely book our stay with Coast Rider's Inn.
