This hotel is a little gem. Nice and quiet for a peaceful getaway. Only problem is there is no elevator but the stairs are not really that steep. Just beware if you have issues with stairs.

This property is great for those who like to be by the ocean, close to the elephant seal rookeries, near to some great hiking, and only a few miles from the amenities of Cambria.

This is a very clean and reasonably priced option for a well equipped updated room with a comfy bed. No balconies, but nice large windows for a morning view of the ocean. Decent TV viewing options. Cheery and efficient check-in. At least 3 restaurants nearby.

Although we had no power until 2am, it was one of the better motels we stayed in in this price range in our entire week of traveling. It was very clean, room was well maintained, and there was no smell of smoke or weed at all. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

I loved this property. The pros were that they were actually two showers in one which was super cool for my partner and I. It was a little stuffy with the furniture, it could have been more spacious. But the bathroom was super spacious. The staff was helpful the area was really nice, one of the big cons though was that there was not anywhere nearby to eat other than a convenience store a ways away which the staff informed us on. Since it's slightly off the grid, it was super safe and the parking was very easy. Other than that, it was nice to wake up to a view of the ocean. I would recommend

We left our Kipling travel bag by accident and they mailed it to us. Maria was very patient and gave her extra mile to bring our huge bag to FedEx. I am so thankful because my wife's prayer booklet that is older than our kids was inside that bag. Aside from this the hotel rooms are clean, spacious and they clean the rooms daily.. Big plus for the microwave and refrigerator. Again thank you Maria.

Clean and quiet. Near the beach.. kinda pricey for 2 queen beds for 2 nights...but maybe thats the norm these days. Room was small, but had refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. Bathroom was small also, but clean. Very near Hearst Castle, Cambria and elephant seals.. I'd recommend!

After reading some of the negative reviews, it made me stop and think for a few minutes to remember that there are people you just complain about every little thing. Of course there are sometimes things that happen to be something to complain about. Here at this Motel it was Just Right! The ocean view rooms are upstairs, the King bed was great, it was Avacado brand.it was very quiet. It is worth staying here. Room was large, clean, and comfortable, Staff was nice, will stay again.

Visit San Simeon!
The Sea Breeze Inn is in a nice location. Really enjoyed the businesses that were in the area, especially the Mexican restaurant and the restaurant where we ate breakfast. The whole community seemed to be participating in the upcoming Halloween celebration. However,the staff at the hotel were not very friendly and did not make us feel welcome.

Room was comfortable and quiet. Best time of year to visit,less tourists and families. Rates are better in the week and off-season. I am still looking for reasonable rental property in the area .

My husband and I stay at the Sea Breeze Inn every year around our anniversary - the midweek rates are amazingly accommodating for what we get: a beautiful ocean view, exceptionally clean room and hotel, quiet location and very friendly staff. A bonus is asy walking distance tothe blufftop trail to the ocean for walking and watching sunrises and sunsets. We highly recoomend the Sea Breeze Inn.

Attractive, clean, well-maintained rooms. All of the upstairs rooms have ocean views. Comfortable bed. Basic cable channels on the TV. The room had a microwave, and decently size refrigerator. The appliances were well-maintained and in great condition. This hotel does not have an elevator for upstairs access, nor does it serve breakfast. However, the location was excellent for my visit to Hearst Castle, and the ocean view was exceptional. Plenty of parking available and pleasant, helpful staff. Easy access to the beach and local restaurants.

a little run down, our door #126 would not close properly unless you slam it it was stuck. the same thing happen to our bathroom door. you had to lift the door and push to close it. the shutters were not fit properly so you had to push and shove to close them back up. the view from the room was awesome.
