The amenities of this amazing Hampton Inn hotel at San Simeon were excellent in every way. The most important thing I can say about this hotel is the location. This goes out to all pet owners who truly care about your pets (dogs) especially when your dog gets really scare with the sounds of fireworks. We did not hear a single firework during our stay which was the main reason why we drove almost 5 hours from our residence. Perfect location for relaxation and great weather!!!

Room was nice. Bed was ok. Parking was easy. Breakfast was ok. Did not use the pool. The room next to ours kept slamming the door for about an hour at 11 pm. Other than that it was quiet enough.

We enjoyed our stay and would choose this hotel again. The staff were always helpful and friendly. The location is close to most things and convenient. Breakfast was included which is a nice extra! And it was one of the few hotels in the Monterey area that had free parking. The only negative was that the walls were thin, but we were located on the backside away from the highway, which was great. We could hear people talking outside the room, in the hallways, or in the parking lot. But fortunately no one lingered and the noise was manageable. Thank you to all the staff members that helped make our stay great!

Be aware that there is NO elevator for two floor buildings. Stairs only. For the price, no elevator is a killer. If you travel with kids and have luggage.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Do not stay here. Our family experienced severe structural and sanitary issues that made our room uninhabitable, and management went silent once pressed for corporate accountability. ​The Major Issues: ​Flooding & Leaks: Water was actively seeping up through the floor seams upon check-in. By morning, a second leak developed next to the toilet, pooling yellow/orange fluid across the floor. Management downplayed a failed toilet wax ring as "clean water," ignoring the obvious health hazard. ​Poor Hygiene: There was an active ant infestation at the lobby coffee bar area. ​Management Failure: While the General Manager issued a full refund, he completely ghosted us the moment we requested a corporate incident tracking number and insurance details. ​They are quick to issue a refund to make a liability problem go away, but they lack operational accountability. Avoid this property.
