Verified Review, stayed from Sun Jul 26 to Tue Jul 28 2026 at a $188.10 average nightly rate.

"Effective, clean, nice room, nice sleep."

Little gem in near San Simeon among chains. Quaint, rooms clean and comfortable. For price you get continental breakfast, good night sleep, without all the stuff you didn't need. Everything functions well and everything is well kept or brand new on appearance in room. I'd come back again! Desk and staff nice.
