Great location for a Hearst Castle visit

The check in was easy, and the room was clean and a good sizce. The location was great for visiting the Hearst Castle. The breakfast had a very good selection, but the eggs and bacon were not that great. This hotel was very good for a one night stay.

A wonderful experience. I wish I could remember the name of the clerk who helped me and my daughters when we arrived. He was truly one of the nicest customer service representatives I have ever met. He gave us cookies, allowed a family to eat breakfast food because local restaurants were closed, and personally walked us to the our room. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. I would definitely return and recommend that anyone visiting San Simeon stay at the Quality Inn. A 10/10.

Such an easy drive to Hearst Castle. Staff was very nice, check in/out was easy, the Manta Ray restaurant was amazing, and the hotel was easy to get to. The pool and firepit were nice! Our room had a ground floor patio, very quiet and relaxing to sit out on. Comfortable beds. Room was a bit dated, cleanliness was okay, parts of the parking lot were being worked on, and the complimentary breakfast was nice but unfortunately the eggs made my friend sick.
