Hotel Coast Riders Inn (San Simeon, USA)

The hotel enjoys a perfect location just minutes from the beach on California's beautiful Big Sur coastline and Piedras Blancas State Marine Reserve where you can see the elephant seals is around fifteen minutes' drive away. Historical Hearst Castle is also just a short drive away.

Rooms offer a microwave and a fridge and there is a small convenience store nearby should you wish to make use of these room facilities. Free Wi-Fi is also available throughout the hotel and the hotel's indoor pool is excellent, especially for children.

There is a restaurant next door which offers breakfast and dinner at a reduced rate for guests of the hotel if you have a voucher. There are also many other restaurants nearby.

According to some guests the hotel is starting to look rather tired and old and is in dire need of a modernisation and a good clean. There have been reports of dirty carpets and stained, ripped bed linen along with uncomfortable beds and old, stained chairs.

Members of staff are not always the most helpful and don't take it upon themselves to try and resolve any issues. Some previous guests had problems with reservations and complaints about rooms, but the inexperienced staff were unable to deal with these effectively and to guests' satisfaction.

Although the Wi-Fi offered by the hotel is complimentary there have been many reports from previous guests that it hardly works and it is impossible to get a signal. Some have had to resort to using the signal from other hotels nearby.
