Listen, I get it: for the price you don’t expect the Ritz. But is it too much to ask for wi-fi, or a person at a front desk to go to and ask questions? The “coffee” served out of pump thermoses should be outlawed by the Geneva Conventions. The place was clean, but just weirdly laid out. The bathroom fan rattled like a Huey shot down over Vietnam. Half of the hotel was under construction, but the whole place felt this way. It was shelter. No more, no less.

The bathroom sink was leaking. The table in the center of the room was broken. There were loose screws on the ground. One of the bed’s slats were broken. Was supposed to be non-smoking but the room and area smelled of cigarettes

SMH!!!

It was just okay. A very basic room. No fridge, no microwave and no phone. We changed rooms and the new room's phone didn't work either 😡 The outlets in both rooms didn't work either.

Nice stay at an economy hotel that accepts dogs.

The hotel is under new management and the lobby is being remodeled. It did not affect our stay which was fine for our weekend stay. Very happy that Azul Inn San Simeon accepts owners with a dog.

Azul stay in San Simeon

It was a nice place to stay; the bed was comfortable and the location to go to Hearst Castle was perfect. The only downside was the renovations that was happening at the facility but didn’t interfere what we had planned. The staff were very courteous and friendly.
