Hot-tub needs cleaning , no air conditioning

So let me start off and state the property was clean. However, the hot-tub water was brown lacked any smell of disinfectant. The pool was clean"er" but still was not up to par. The room was clean, the beds and bathroom was clean. Tried calling for hours before we left to make sure the pool was working, and no answer. The real deal breaker was no form of A/C. It was really hot even with the back window open and the fan on. I feel that even front windows that open would have been an upgrade. Overall I would not stay again because of the dingy hot-tub/pool, and lack of cooling options.

Drive on by

No complaints about the room. The indoor pool had what looked like an oil sheen. The interior courtyard was grass clumps and exposed dirt and small mammal mounds. San Simeon, an utterly charmless 2 exit stretch of the 101, devoid of natural or commercial landscaping is there because of the apartment complex which I suspect houses most of the workers for the various nearby tourist communities. The private nature of the drab piece of highway frontage would be reason for the ugly commercial development because it surely isn’t the local aesthetics. If you get there after sunset and need cheap place to sleep it serves a function.
