Up front, two observations: I'd give it a 3.5 rating if I could. There were lots of good things about the motel, but for every good thing, there was something contradictory about it. For example: I pulled up to a generic, kinda Motel 6ish motel. Then I walked into my room which was quite large, with a big ,comfortable looking... More

Driving between San Francisco and LA, and needed somewhere to stop. What a great little find! Very spacious rooms, great rates. Extremely comfortable beds. I can't say too much about it as we only arrived at 6pm and left at 8.30 the next morning, but seemed perfect for what we wanted.

We just overnighted here and it was clean, quiet and had a comfortable bed. They are stingy with towels in the room but you can get more at the desk. This is an old hotel with popcorn ceilings and old tile. Wifi is free. The TV was an old, tired one with limited channels and poor reception. This hotel is... More

There really is very little in San Simeon except for Hearst Castle and elephant seals so we weren't expecting a lot so were not disappointed. The hotel is a basic 'U' shaped motel with 2 storeys. We were on the lower floor but fortunately the guests above we're quiet but think that noisy ones would be a real problem as... More

This motel was totally met our needs during our spring break trip. The girl who checked us in was quick and helpful. We had two queen beds and they were comfy. The room was quite large however the furniture was very dated as was the tv. For the price we paid on Hotwire I have no complaints. The room was... More

We stopped here on our way down Highway 1. We got it through Hotwire ($50.00) so didn't get to choose. It is very dated and noise travels (could hear people walking outside and cars starting, etc.) It was all we needed for stopping through on our roadtrip. I wouldn't stay here for anymore than one night, but it is ok... More

Old and kinda dated, but overall, good value. wifi was dodgy but hey had a pool (indoor) and it seemed fine. Building is old but sturdy....nice thick walls. Could not hear our friends next door despite a loud TV. Nothing spectacular, but the rooms are nice and large, clean, and the beds comfy. Overall, if I ever end up in... More

I stay at the Courtesy many times throughout the year for many years due to my rental house business in nearby Cambria. It is by far the most economical motel in the area for a clean, decent sized room. Both a warm indoor pool and spa are nice amenities. Great restaurants are within short walking distance, as well as the... More
