Sebastian's Bed and Breakfast- San Simeon, California is regretfully closed and the Sebestians Historic Store has been a Gift Shop and Coffeehouse but what is next?

Regretfully Sebastian's no longer has a Bed and Breakfast or offers lodging any accommodations and as of this writing May 6 2007 the Sebastian's General Store is closed for renovations. Do stop by if you are in San Simeon and visit the historic Sebastian's General Store; they could reopen at any time and say they will be offering a small museum and who knows what else. So the Sebastian's General Store is history, the Sebastian's Bed & Breakfast is history and the Sebastian's Gift Shop and Coffee Bar is history; I can't wait to see what this historic site has to offer next besides a small museum.

"The Hacienda" Guest Lodge & Hacienda Bar

This Hearst Castle lodging is a good distance from Hearst Castle and the Pacific Coast. The association that makes it special and the reason it has been included on the Hearst Castle Hotels Website is that it once belonged to William Randolph Hearst and was in fact Hearst Ranch housing and Hearst's guest hunting lodge.

If you are the kind of person who enjoys the road less traveled and especially if you are touring in a sports car or motorcycle then the extra curves and mileage to this Hearst Castle lodging will not deter you, (particularly Nacimiento Fergusson Rd. which is one narrow curvy route you can use to get to The Hacienda Guest Lodge by the Fort Hunter Liggett back gate). The inland weather is most often better and the scenery in route between Hearst Castle and The Hacienda is phenomenal.

Julia Morgan, the same architect that designed Hearst Castle planned the Spanish style Hacienda for Hearst in 1929 and Hearst's hunting lodge provided accommodations for Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Teddy Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover to name a few.

The prices for lodging at the Hacienda is quite reasonable and there is an adjoining bar/lounge which the hours and days of operation vary depending on the season and how busy they are but it is open Wednesday through Saturday or Sunday 7 PM until 11PM weekdays or till 2AM weekends. The Hacienda Bar has cocktails as well as beer and wine, pool, music, chips, pretzels and such (there is talk of pizza maybe coming); also available on base which can be used by civilians who are Hacienda Guest Lodge patrons are many other recreational facilities; there is a restaurant "the Cable Cafe" (open 6AM - 9PM), a sports center, recreation center, swimming pool, bowling alley with dining and a movie theatre which are all on the post and nearby the Hacienda Guest Lodge. The Hacienda is located on US Fort Hunter Liggett you will be under federal jurisdiction so you should expect extra security, rules and regulations.
The M.W.R. (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) at Fort Hunter Liggett now manages the Hacienda Guest Lodge and the Hacienda Bar but regretfully the Hacienda Restaurant is currently closed as of March 25, 2008; hopefully it will open again sometime (the Hacienda Restaurant Concession is open for private bid; do you want to run a cool restaurant?).
The Mission San Antonio de Padua, the third Spanish Mission in California is a short walk from the Hacienda and is a wonderful place to visit.

The Hacienda has 11 rooms which vary from single rooms with shower and bathrooms down the hall to family rooms to 2 bedroom suites.

Price Range - $45.00 - $135.00
