"Motel, the experience is very general. The advantage is that the transportation is convenient and you can walk to the beach. The disadvantage is that the sanitation and facilities are really limited. There is no kettle, 3 disposable slippers, a pair of quilts, no quilt cover, direct sheets, and a little movement when sleeping, it is directly connected to the core, which is the most uncomfortable."

"This hotel was much better than any of the others we have stayed at in San Simeon. The staff were superb and the addition of the heated pool, spa and fire pit made this a very good hotel even though the building itself is old. The breakfast was also in line with other his hotels we have started at. A really great stay. Thank you"

"The hotel still has to set a big brand, like Intercontinental, yesterday lived in this sea view suite, nonsense, I did not know, speak Chinese he can not understand, wait for me to show the English confirmation letter, only reluctant apology, help me change [snorting], 11 o'clock to check out, late check-out to add money, mini club also need to install a lock, Give the key, I don't know if there is this clock design 🤓 Anyway, I said that I definitely didn't set a sea view room, and I didn't want to check it. It felt very bad and like a pit. Fortunately, my English is good. If English is not good, it is really unreasonable."

"The hotel room can see the sunset, the health bar is a general motel, very close to the beach, the restaurant next to the hotel tastes good, recommend New York steak, there is another point I am not sure, I received theft the next day after leaving the store I swiped the credit card information, because the card that was stolen was the first time I swiped the deposit, and I still paid a deposit at the next hotel, so each accounted for 50%.
