Set in San Simeon, 600 metres from Arroyo del padre juan, Coast Riders Inn provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The hotel offers an indoor pool, hot tub and a shared lounge.

All units at the hotel come with a seating area and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Every room includes a private bathroom with free toiletries, while some feature sea views. The units at Coast Riders Inn feature air conditioning and a desk. The staff was so nice and helpful. Easy check in. Very accommodating, we wanted to change to a king bed instead of the 2 queens because our children ended up staying home. We visit the area a few times a year, and normally we don't stay in the section due to low quality of rooms. When booking, the pictures were great, the reviews seemed great and the price was perfect. We are absolutely grateful we decided to stay. We will absolutely stay here again.

It was easily accessible to the LA Convention Center, where I was attending my program. The staff were very friendly and supportive. The place was absolutely clean. The availability of fresh breakfast daily was a great plus!

Located in Redding, 10 km from Simpson University, Americana Modern Hotel provides accommodation with a shared lounge and free private parking. This 3-star hotel offers free WiFi. The hotel features family rooms. Breakfast bars and coffee was available at the reception. Cold water bottles/ cold water refill available. Location absolutely in the center of Redding. Every amenity within walking distance. An incredible team led by Alex, manages this hotel. We had to extend our stay by 2 days as we had a road accident and lost all our bags in a theft. Kevin at the reception went home after work and got us clothes to wear, to tide us over. Heather, Lauren, Tobias & David went out of their way to support us during the 3 days we stayed at this hotel. From managing incoming calls from CHP, to David driving us to get stuff and Alex offering to drive us to the Airport when we left Redding. I have never experienced support of this level ever. The team managing this hotel is unbelievable. My wife and I would like to thank all of you for being such compassionate and supportive human beings.

Featuring free WiFi and an outdoor pool, the Royal Copenhagen Inn offers accommodation in the heart of downtown Solvang, 45 km from Santa Barbara. Guests can enjoy the free continental breakfast at the property. A great inn! The room was quiet but the inn is in the centre of the town. The room was very clean and big and we enjoyed the swimming pool and the mini golf. The staff were nice and it was a great stay. We even got a “pack and play” with no charge The breakfast is served to your room and limited but we knew it in advance and the price was still cheaper than other inns with no breakfast at all
