10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and courteous staff Location is also amazing"

Coast Riders Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Here’s your 12-sentence review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Perfect Home Base for Your Hearst Castle Adventure If you are planning a visit to Hearst Castle, look no further than Coast Rider Inn — it is without question the best-located accommodation in the area. Situated just minutes from one of California’s most iconic landmarks, the convenience factor alone makes this inn an absolute no-brainer for any traveler. From the moment you pull into the parking lot, you immediately sense that this is a place that genuinely cares about its guests. The staff here are not just friendly — they are extraordinarily warm, welcoming, and go far above and beyond to make you feel right at home. Every team member we encountered greeted us with a smile and was eager to assist with anything we needed, day or night. The rooms themselves are immaculately clean, reflecting a standard of housekeeping that rivals much more expensive hotels. Every surface, corner, and fixture was spotless, giving us total peace of mind throughout our entire stay. What truly set Coast Rider Inn apart, however, was the most incredible sleeping experience we have ever had on the road. The mattresses are in a class entirely of their own — plush, perfectly supportive, and so comfortable that we actually looked forward to bedtime every single night. We woke up each morning feeling completely refreshed and ready to tackle the breathtaking tours and sights that the Central Coast has to offer."

Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

8/10 Good

"This was a decent place to stop for a night near San Simeon. No frills, very nice staff, I don’t think many of the motels in the area have air conditioning so that is something to consider if it matters to you. Not unique to this one though as far as I could tell. We were perfectly happy stopping here."

Silver Surf Motel

8/10 Good

"Clean, comfy beds, spacious room, refrigerator, microwave, good price. Limited parking near your room. Second floor room, with stairs on back of building. Ice machine hopper with scoop feels not as clean as dispenser. Difficult to go room temperature correct. Window in sleeping area but opens directly onto walkway and no security if left open at night. No air conditioning."
