Hotels in de buurt van Friends Of The Elephant Seal Visitor Center and Gift Shop in San Luis Obispo County

So after a long day of driving south on Pacific 1, both wifey and I were weary and happy to see the Morgan Hotel sign as we came out of the mountains. When we walked into the lobby, there was nice music playing and we were greeted by friendly staff. The room presents nicely when you walk in hence the nice photos online. Then you start seeing the signs of age. The small fridge was very old and door would not close properly. There is no microwave in the room. There was a table fan provided and it was ok to keep you semi cool during the night. Honestly when driving down the Pacific 1, we found it was a common theme when you are close to the ocean so maybe it's not a thing but we found it very strange not having AC in the room. Pros Easy to get to once you emerge from the mountains. It is in San Simeon which is basically a community of hotels. Free parking Pet friendly Comfortable bed and pillows Our room had a fireplace and super comfy couch. Updated bathroom Very nice pool area and breakfast area Cons Very bad internet. I could not even get my laptop to connect! We were at the end of the hall so that may have been part of the cause. I'm a computer guy so internet is important to me. When I finally did get to connect, the speed was less than 1Mbps. This is barely enough to check your email these days. The room was very empty and could easily handle getting rid of the little round side table and adding a nice coffee table in front of the couch OR adding a desk and chair. The room is large but the space is poorly utilized. The TV and remote are a throwback to the 80's. The remote is so old that the finish was rubbing off the back. No sleep timer on the TV. As others have stated the breakfast is terrible. There is basically yogurt and bagels. Nothing is hot, no eggs, no bacon, no sausage. There is ample room to provide a typical continental breakfast and this is the first hotel we've stayed at on our 12 day highway 1 adventure that provided such a bad breakfast. Even the bare basic Best Western hotels have a superior breakfast experience. Summary If you just staying a night and don't care about internet or breakfast, this was a nice clean, reasonably priced hotel with a comfy bed and pillows and clean bathroom.

Very close to the Hearst Castle, it is very convenient to rest on the way on Highway 1. Going out and crossing the road is the beach. It is very beautiful to watch the sunset. In the evening, the wind is strong and keep warm. The breakfast in the hotel is very rich, the dinner in the restaurant is also delicious, and the children's three chocolate bars are also sent at the time of departure, which is very intimate.

A temporary hotel on the road, a standard American motel, but it is much more cost-effective than other nearby hotels. Breakfast is also free. It is seven kilometers away from the nearest town and there is a big supermarket in the town.

It was an ok Hotel on my way from San Francisco back to LA, The room is so so and rather damp. The staff are very helpful and polite. There are only 2 restaurant within walking distance but they are pretty expensive for what they are, the hotel will provide you a 20 percent discount for one of the restaurant. Next time I would rather continue my journey and stop at different area such as Morro Bay.

Self-driving Highway 1 is a convenient place to stay, convenient to check in, close to the seaside, spacious rooms, free parking, and rooms have fireplaces but I didn't light up for a long time, making the house full of smoke, haha. There is breakfast but you need to pay separately. Overall, the price is too expensive on weekends.

Booked an overnight stay directly on website. Hotel had cyber sale on rooms. Free parking in underground garage. Room was clean. Bed was very comfortable. Fireplace was on all night. Jetted tub was a plus. Had an issue that was easily taken care of by hotel maintenance. Helpful staff. Location was perfect if you want to relax and enjoy nature and the ocean. Wooded area meets sea cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Bicycles are available. Walking distance to town but suggest parking in town and browse the shops/restaurants. Overall good experience and would stay here again.

Front desk personnel was very friendly and attentive. The room, hmm. Clean but beat up. And broken. The fireplace did not work. Big bummer. Maintenance got it working, but if we turned it ff, it would not go back on. So, it was a one shot deal. Plus, you never want to have to call in maintenance once you are already in the room. Its just uncomfortable. The window opened on ground level to parking lot two feet from window. One window did not lock at all. Cobwebs hanging from ceiling I have these at home, but don't expect cobwebs at a hotel. The fan in the bathroom did not work. So it got very stuffy in there and never dried out from shower. Overall, I would not book here again. there are plenty of other hotel Inns along this stretch of beach, all with the same excellent location.

The hotel is located by the sea and has a beautiful view, perfect for a scenic walk. The room is upgraded free of charge, spacious, upscale, comfortable, fully equipped, and the living room can see the sea. Suitable for taking children. Although it is simple (bread, coffee, fruit), but after heating, the service staff sent the rain to the room and enjoyed it. It’s easy to find a hotel after you travel to Big Sur on Highway 1. It’s also convenient to eat late.

Good environment, good service, very special hotel

The property is very well maintained. Landscaping is 5 stars. The 2 firepits are nice. Not big, but for enough for like 4 people. Had a double queen room that was clean, and nicely decorated. People at front desk were nice. Some friendlier than others. The beds were on the ”SOFT” side. No firmness in these, which was disappointing ... but my back did ok. Things that need some improvement. COFFEE: the in-room units I always dislike because they are rarely very clean or the coffee very good, and they are messy to use. So they had coffee carafes in the office. But it was usually ”warm”, if there was coffee there. Many times it was empty. The DECAF carafe was ”broken” so the coffee was difficult to get out and it always deposited lots of grounds in the cup. Yuk. They said a new one is on order. hmmm. Seems like they should always have a spare one of these on hand. e.g. always ”be prepared” The pool area needs some TLC and some sprucing up. Not very inviting, The Hot Tub was warmish water. Housecleaning,. They don't do any once you are there. You can ask for new towels at the office. you pick it up. You have to put your own trash cans outside your room and hope they get to emptying them. And cups or glasses you dirty, same thing. Either clean it yourself or put outside and hope they leave you new ones, Or you need to go to office and get what you need. We were there more than 2 nights and usually at INNS, after 2 nights you get a cleaning, but not here. Just felt there should have been a bit more ”service” for the cost of these rooms. And COFFEE ... that is a biggy. It should be HOT, plentiful.
