Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

Great full breakfast, Close to the ocean and Cambria with good resturants in Cambria. Very friendly staff, cookies in the office and coffee. If you want to go to Hearst Castle very closeby. We didn't have time to go on the tour but we went to the museum there. Highway one still closed below Big Sur so you can't take it all the way down from were it is to the hotel. Morro Bay is not very far either and we went there for lunch on the way to the hotel. You can walk to the ocean just across the street if you wish. It was a lot less to stay there than many of the other hotels in the area. It is not newer or a deluxe hotel but we enjoyed it. There is no elevator just steps but that wasn't a problem for us. There is a pool and a fire pit too.

The room was a great size ,beds were so comfortable,lovely pillows slept like a log .nice and peaceful too and very clean .Breakfast was included ,was expecting just a continental but no absolutely everything on the go,cereal,waffles,cooked breakfast,fruit,toast etc ,all served nice and hot and plenty of it .Pool looked lovely and outside area so clean and inviting too ,wish we'd had longer to enjoy it.Ate in the restaurant food was fabulous,the chef knows his stuff I had the seabass was sensational ,sauce was divine ,my partner had the seafood pasta and his was delicious too .Miguel the restaurant manager looked after us well and gave great recommendations on wine ,and was warm and friendly and took time to chat to.us .Edward the general manager was so warm and welcoming ,we turned up later than anticipated he gave us a choice of rooms and was so cheerful and lovely . Absolutely recommend this little gem ,everyone there gives their all and it really does excel at customer services and giving their guests the best experience..

My husband and I stayed at the Quality Inn in San Simeon (near Hearst Castle) along with our labrador retriever from April 29, 2024 through May 2, 2024. Our experience was exceptional from check-in to check-out. Morning breakfast selections included bacon, eggs, hot biscuits, make-your-own waffles, an assortment of teas, yogurt, orange juice, cereals, muffins, pastries and more. The refrigerator in our room was large enough to store our perishables and included a small freezer, which was the perfect size for refreezing our blue ice. It was a plus for my husband to have an outdoor hot tub available after an active day along with the extra towels that were provided poolside. I was especially thrilled that in addition to being pet-friendly, there were no additional pet fees for having our dog with us. Oh, and let's not forget the friendly touches that were available in the lobby such as fresh-baked cookies each day as well as easily accessible hot coffee and hot water for assorted teas, hot chocolate and instant breakfast cereal. We would stay here again with or without our dog in a heartbeat!

We stayed at Quality Inn for one night and had a fantastic experience. Edward at the reception was incredibly welcoming and made my family feel right at home. He even upgraded our room, which was a lovely surprise. The environment was spotless, and the breakfast exceeded our expectations—delicious and satisfying. My sons especially enjoyed their stay, making it even more memorable for our family. A helpful tip for future guests: don't miss the Elephant Seal Vista Point, which is just a 7-minute drive from the hotel. It's a unique and amazing experience worth checking out! If we visit San Simeon again, we will definitely choose Quality Inn. Thank you for such a great stay!

I really liked the location. The price was excellent. The free breakfast was excellent too. Unfortunately we were only at the hotel from 9:00pm-9:00am so we did not walk around the neighborhood. I loved the fact that they have 24 hour coffee and hot tea/chocolate by the reception area. What a treat to get a full snickers bar when we checked out!! I also love the closeness that it has to the Hearst Castle. It was only 5 minutes away!! Overall great place to stay!!
