Hampton Inn San Simeon Cambria

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay despite some minor issues checking in due to a network outage for the hotel. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and convenient for us. The breakfast was as expected and adequate for a complementary meal. The only gripe I had was that 2x was unable to reach the front desk by using the phone. No one responded, so I had to go in-person. Not sure what that was about, but overall we had a decent experience."
