Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

8/10 Good

"Great breakfast! Quiet, clean and very convenient to Hearst Castle. I recommend."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful few days. The room was clean, but dated. The bed was comfortable. We liked the patio with ocean view. Thank you for the upgrade, we didn’t expect it and are grateful. The bathroom could use a makeover. The toilet was so low and small and almost looked like it was made for a child. If anyone has mobility issues that might be a problem. We had room number 160. We also missed counter space for our toiletries. Daily maid service is only provided if requested one day in advance. The highlight is the property itself, located directly at the ocean. The property is set up like a park at the ocean with walking paths, fire places, volleyball court and plenty of options to sit and listen to the waves."

Sea Breeze Inn

8/10 Good

"The stay was nice."

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, large oceanfront room. Breakfast okay, but could be better."

Cambria Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Such a sweet surprise. The property was nice and certainly made you feel welcome. We enjoyed our stay."

Silver Surf Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Silver surf was clean and comfortable"

Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff, great location, beautiful views!"

Comfort Inn near Hearst Castle - Cambria

8/10 Good

"The rooms were bright, clean and airy. The breakfast was a hot breakfast and very good. The rooms were quite large. Front desk staff was very helpful, we had to move to 3 different rooms, key would not open first door. Second room, hairdryer would not work. Third room was fine except coffee maker did not work. The maids should check these things out before people arrive. Hairdryer not working was upsetting as my hair was wet and we were trying to go out. All in all those things happen but we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend Luigis Pizza, huge meatball sandwiches and yummy menu."

Oceanpoint Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good and clean. Would have like to have had a microwave in the room, but otherwise everything was good."
