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.

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.

Ideal for Hearst Castle
Booked at last minute after visiting Hearst Castle nearby. Great value for a quick overnight stop. Was undergoing some refurbishments to reception but room was spacious, clean and good bathroom. Good Mexican restaurant opposite the hotel.

Dirty and musty
My wife and mother-in-law and sister-in-law did a girls trip. I guess the room was very musty. The bathrooms were not clean so they went and got their money back and went to a different hotel

The entire place was under construction and the parts not under were filthy and dated. Most shocking, the mold in my shower.

Meh
Dont expect too much.
Youll get your bed.
Room had a bad odour.
Shower was non existent. Only maybe had 10 holes on the shower head. Slow
Fridge was dirty
Thin walls, can hear people walking around the halls and floor above.
Front recepton had nice people though.
Its a place where youd sleep..
Pricey also.

Four walls and a bed👎👎
The hotel is in the middle of a renovation but even with that the rooms are extremely outdated and the grounds need a lot of maintenance and repairs. Restrooms have horrible water pressure and the towels might as while been paper towels
Overall I would not recommend staying here to anybody if you have a choice

This is by far the best clean, safe and nice looking Motel 6 I've ever stayed at. It seems like this place used to be a Holiday ExpressI will definitely plan to return to this motel.

Raccoon and vending machine
Little run down, looks like they were doing renovations… wife and I were fat a$$es and raided the vending machine at 2am which was nice… room had holes in the wall and paint scratched off… saw a raccoon outside the window of our hotel room at 5am… tried catching it, raccoon ran into the bushes. I still think about that raccoon, also the room had Star Wars playing on TV, so my lady put it on to entertain me while her personal trainer drove up here to take her on a workout on the beach, her personal trainer really cares about her fitness

Great one night stay on our road trip. We were hoping to travel on the Pacific Coast Highway only to get there and discover there was a closure. But were greeted by friendly service in a late checkout and had a good nights sleep to continue our trip.

Worth the money.
Great, dog-friendly hotel. Typical Motel 6 with no shampoo, microwave or fridg, but you get what you pay for. We've stayed at this Motel 6 a dozen times. Quick access to the uncrowded Moonstone Beach.
