Lovely people who go out of there way to help you. Very welcoming. Check-in was really quick. The place is a bit dated but it’s great for an overnight stop.
Had a wonderful stay here after a long day of travels. The lady working the front desk on Thursday afternoon was super sweet and helpful! Also the rooms were super cute and clean. STAY HERE!!!
Lovely 2-star motel in San Simeon.
Clean, updated rooms.
Free parking & unlimited electric car charging for $15.
Very friendly & helpful staff. Shout out to Vanessa at the front desk!
I would easily pick this inn over any other in this neck of the woods. The owner, the managers made me feel right at home and very welcome.
Terrific location too.
My son and I had an amazing stay at Coast Riders Inn. From the moment we arrived, Buddy, Vanessa and Jane made us feel welcomed and completely at home. They offered us homemade chocolate chip cookies upon arrival and explained to us the cool things to check out in the area. The rooms were super clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The retro microwave, coffee, machine, and fridge/freezer were absolutely delightful! And Buddy’s Lego collection is awesome! We look forward to coming back to Coast Riders next time we’re in Central California and staying at this very special place! We loved it!!
Syaff was nice and room ok. Jacuzzi was not working, and bathroom had ceiling stains. Other than that it was clean.

The motel was clean, and the staff was very friendly. The bed sheets were challenging. Each morning, the fitted sheet corners needed adjusting. The shower water would be scalding hot one moment and, after adjusting, very cold. The water pressure was very low. The breakfast was more continental-style.
The staffs are friendly, parking is easy and always available, clean room, and decent breakfast. Easy access to the freeway, near Hearst Castle, just across the beach.
Who I assume are the owners at the front desk were super friendly and kind people, the room was nice and clean and the location was great with many local businesses within walking distance and conveniently located near Hearst castle. This place had an indoor pool that was open and great fresh coffee and snack in the morning, I would definitely recommend Coast Riders inn.
Rooms are large, clean, and everything functioned as expected. Great place to stay overnight or for multiple nights making it your hub for day activities. Friendly staff and owners on site. Much better choice than other properties in the area.
Very friendly and helpful folks at the front desk. Room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Smart TV, microwave, coffee maker, and cool red retro mini-fridge with freezer were nice to have in the room. Yummy cookies provided upon check-in, two free water bottles in the room and continental breakfast (pastries, breads, fruit, coffee, etc) were also appreciated. Location is terrific if visiting Hearst Castle. We’d stay there again.
Staff was very kind and friendly. They went out of their way to make us comfortable. Large, clean room with all the amenities. Clean indoor heated pool. Family-friendly. Good coffee in the morning with snacks.
I don’t know why Google Maps describes this place as a two star hotel. Hosts were very receptive at check in and gifted us cookies and other trinkets, parking was easy, the bed was large and comfortable, and the tv had a good set up. It is a great stop on highway one to wake up, do Hearst Castle early in the morning and continue the drive. Nearby Cambria has great restaurants for dinner too. Would recommend.
We had a pleasant stay at Coast Riders Inn. The staff was friendly, very accommodating for our late check in. The property was on a nice location, on the roadside and close to the Hearst castle.
The had a nice breakfast. The rooms were a bit dated but clean and comfortable.
Nice place in the middle of nowhere. Espoaftwr a long winding coastal drive.
Very nice stay except for the “heavy walking person up stairs” I heard them several times during the night. Not the staffs fault. Rude neighbors.
Lobby is great. Indoor pool is wonderful and walking distance to mini mart, restaurants and the beach
