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.
The attitude from staff was exceptional. During our trip to US we had 5 stays in different hotels, but I didn't feel so good attitude from hotel staff even with my platinum level in IHG hotel chain compared to exceptional treatment at Coast Riders Inn where we arrived late in the evening after bad luck with accommodation at Big Sur. On the way we had an accident with wild animal and hotel staff was ready to help with repair of the car if that would be necessary.
!.... Hello.... my name is Kristina..I just. really love. this quality inn in san simeon.I really give motel an A+...very clean peaceful.quite..relaxing atmosphere.The manager & employees are Very nice and friendly and smiley..And the breakfast is Omg..real cooked and yummy....and the morning birds chirrping..feels like home away from home....excellent thank you!!!!
Though food not great, restaurant staff and all staff at hotel was very attentive and friendly. Cleaning staff also very nice.
Room was comfortable with most amenities.
Location is fabulous right on the water with lots of open space. Location was terrific for exploring southern Big Sur a half hour north and towns and beaches just south like Cambria!
This is a nice little hotel for a stop over, we had large rooms with all they facilities we needed. Staff were friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was a help yourself, with microwavable sandwiches or wraps, cereal, bagels, toast and fruit, so we all had something that we enjoyed :-)
We wanted just a sleepover place, nothing spectacular, so we were positively surprised by nice reviews and also low price of this place. It is really value for money - spacious clean room with big bed and good location if you want to explore San Simeon and other interesting places nearby.
The walking area along the beach looks good, the area where the hotel placed is conviniet for tourists travelling from SF to LA using the first highway and want to stay for one night in the middle of the way. They have bonfires along the beach which creates nice atmosphere
good breakfast, with yoghurt , cereals etc. ability to ask for hot milk for your coffee or oatmeal.
Nice beds, perfect location for visiting Hearst castle. Very nice restaurant in the same building as the hotel.
Beach accross the street
The location was great, the staff were wonderful. If you want to be one of the first to get to Hearst Castle in the morning, Cavalier Oceanfront Resort is a great place to stay. Beds were comfortable, and rooms were spacious.
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.
This place is a gem! The place is clean, the staff is helpful, near Cambria and Moonstone. The rooms are always clean and the Julia Morgan art around the hotel is very nice.
It’s a short walk to the beach and convenience stores are nearby. Close to Cambria and San Simeon. We liked that it had a microwave, coffee pot and fridge.
The light up mirror was nice. It was walking distance from the beach. Enjoyed the San Simeon beach bar and grill walking distance from there for dinner.
