Bed was so hard, we didn’t sleep all night. The bathroom was cramped and small. The screens were ripped. There were spiders and ants throughout. There was a large free-standing tub in a hallway in front of the sliding glass door to the patio. Which was not private. Despite being a non-smoking room, there was a perceivable odor of cigarettes. The room was advertised as having a “partial ocean view.” The view was of a weathered fence, a public restroom across the road, a giant tree and WAAAAY off in the distance if you look through the trees, you can see a teensy, tiny peek of blue. We checked out after one night. Despite promising to approve our request for a refund from Expedia, THEY WOULDN’T EVEN RESPOND TO THE MANY ATTEMPTS BY EXPEDIA TO CONTACT THEM AND RESOLVE MY REFUND. But as the manager told me in a rude and snotty way when I asked to refund the remaining four days of our prepaid reservation, “ You’re the one who chose to reserve through a third party, so you can live with the consequences.” My question is this: why list your substandard property on third party sites like Expedia? This place is essentially an OLD roadside motel masquerading as a high end “resort” because it’s across the street from a state beach. I warn AGAINST this property in the strongest possible terms. It. Is. Horrible.

Games are all broken and missing parts. No hoops for croquet, no push stick for shuffle board etc. they said they were out of s’mores kits but we could go to a store to buy them where they go anyways. Umm… then you go!
They didn’t know how to work TVs even though it was the World Cup. Also, they put a note on Libby that they were eating for hours. And we couldn’t return bocce balls (in the broken bag they gave us) that night at all.

Such a great stay and very pet friendly! The property is across the highway from the ocean and boardwalk, great walk for my puppy. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The fireplaces were such a hit and a great way to relax in the evening. Upon check-in, my dog got a welcome baggie with treats, which he loved. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and I enjoyed the coffee the room provided as well as the coffee from The Cow-tipper (restaurant near the hotel). Lots to do on the lawn and in the rec-room. Great stay and look forward to staying again in the future.

The room overall was spacious & lovely. Beds were nice to look at, but not as comfortable as I’ve had at other hotels. Large, heavy comforter at the end of the bed was more decorative than useful, and without it, the night was chilly.
Additionally, the coffee maker was plugged in on a low shelf and no way to add water or actually make any coffee which was somewhat disappointing.
The facility itself is great, especially for families with children and the fire pits throughout the property added a nice charm.

This is a great place to stay, especially if you have a family. There is a beautiful front lawn with a gazebo, fire pits and lawn chairs, lots of room to spread out. There’s a nice pool away from the lawn, a game room with shuffleboard , foozball , etc. There are trails to walk, it’s away from all the ‘busy ‘ of Moonstone beach, but has easy walking access to it
The rooms are super clean, beds are comfortable and everything is nicely appointed with a ranch theme. Has a small restaurant , great for breakfast or lunch. We’ve stayed there twice and will go back again.

Although the property is clean and the staff was great, the room was disappointing because it had minimum lighting, which was difficult to see. Also, the room could have used at least a chair or table. Finally, there were an influx of ants in the room, and when I brought that up to the staff member, she replied that it’s all over the property. I have been to many many motels and hotels, and no, there are no ants that should be in the rooms.

The last time we stayed here, it was still called San Simeon Pines. While the rooms have been updated in design, everything has been mostly preserved. Still a charming place to stay when at Moonstone Beach, farther away from the rest of the hotels but still walkable. Check-in was easy and staff very friendly. Most of the time you can find parking directly in front of your room. We saw lots of families checking in and there are grounds that are fun to explore.

We got a fireplace King which came with a fire starter bundle. Watch the fire! The pieces in the bundle fell towards the front of the fireplace while burning. Don't leave unattended. Duraflame would work fine, or they have extra bundles for sale in the lobby.

The room updates were nice - things like the windows and the heater are a bit older, the bathroom window did not close all the way so had a bit of a draft. The bath itself was renovated, clean and had plenty of room. There was a large lighted mirror and coffee and a fridge are included.

Note that there is no longer complimentary breakfast here. There is a restaurant which is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You will need to find your meals elsewhere on those days.

Overall we still love this place on Moonstone Beach and we will be back.

Very lovely hotel located right by the most amazing trail leading to a magical beach! Such an incredible place to visit with family, we had our dog and our toddler with us and everybody had a wonderful time. The hotel seemed to have been coming out of hosting a wedding, so it wasn’t the cleanest room I’ve ever stayed in but not unsanitary. Just little dust and crumbs here and there.

Got to the property 30minutes early and had to wait for our room to be ready. That was fine but once inside our room it wasn’t as clean or nice as the photos. Everything in the room is overused and many things didn’t work and/or were missing. There wasn’t a window screen in the restroom window. The hot water in the shower was inconsistent. The patio furniture was so dirty we couldn’t use. Not enough parking every night. The walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors snoring.

The good parts about this place is the location. It’s close walking distance to the beach and bench areas. It’s about a 10 min drive to Hearst Castle.

We drove 5 hours to enjoy this place and I really wanted to like it but the photos oversold what it looked like and how clean it really was.

Unfortunately, we were put into a room on the other side of the pool and game room this time, due to some electrical issue, we were told.

So I’ve stayed here 3 times since Covid and unfortunately I noticed that the facilities are wearing out. It still has a lot of charm and love the location but area rugs and floors need some deep cleaning. The bathroom counter ledges and floors give a sense of not being clean. Love the fire pits though. I would recommend to have extra Adirondack chairs to allow more guest to enjoy the fire pits. The staff are always lovely though.

AND there was nobody to report it to until the next morning.
As usual, the room was clean, comfortable and luxurious.

Grounds are adorable, fire pits and garden lights, with a games room and pool/garden in the back. There was the most wonderful smell in the lobby, turns out it was a candle they sell- we bought one! The food at the restaurant was sooooo good! Things to note: no air conditioning, not a problem when we went in February, but we did open all the windows to cool off the room. The restaurant is only open for breakfast. The front office staff was so kind and even offered to bring my spouse back from the car charger in her own car! We would definitely recommend!

We LOVED our stay here!! The property was quiet, clean, and beautiful. There is a restaraunt on site but was only open Thurs-Sun, so we went on our way out of town. Food was ok/good. We were excitied about the wood-burning fireplace, and were a little disappointed. They give you a bag per night of pressed wood-like material and instructions to burn. However, it's difficult to light, and less than exciting, romantic or warm. Extra cost for any more bags, and no other wood is allowed in fireplace. Overall we had a wonderful time and will be back for sure. Everyone was very nice and helpful for the staff that checked us in and answered any questions.

The room itself was great, and the girl working the front desk was very accommodating. My complaint is regarding the insane amount of noise in the morning. The cleaning staff/ maintenance staff began talking so loud around 6 am it was impossible to sleep. I travel all the time, I have never experienced this, the walls are either paper thin or the staff just doesn’t care about disturbing guests. There was also either construction or some kind of maintenance happening that we were not told about, I would have chosen to stay somewhere else. The morning noise honestly ruined our stay.
