Bluebird Inn

Bluebird Inn

8/10 Good

"I have stayed at the Bluebird multiple times. It’s definitely a motel. No real amenities other than shampoo/cond/body wash in the showers. It is nice they have mini fridges and microwaves in each room. No a/c so be aware it gets stuffy in the room even w windows open. There is an overhead fan but it can only do so much. Staff is always wonderful. Tana was so helpful at check in. I love the location of the motel for convenience. Walkable to all of East Cambria. You could walk to West but it’s a hike. Beds are not super comfy so I wouldn’t stay more than one or two nights, honestly."

Sands by The Sea

Sands by The Sea

8/10 Good

"Staff was amazing and super helpful, the hotel we stayed at was a “sister” hotel of the Cavalier, not bad for the price. The property itself is a bit outdated, outlets were broken & loose making it hard to charge any electronics, but the plus is being a sister facility you are able to utilize all of the amenities of the Cavalier hotel as well."

Hampton Inn San Simeon Cambria

Hampton Inn San Simeon Cambria

10/10 Excellent

"The room is big, clean and looks new. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices, like waffles, hot and cold cereals, eggs filled with cheese, bacon and potatoes and many more. The hotel is walking distance to the beach, restaurants and short drive to Hearst Castle, Cambria and Moonstone beach. We will definitely stay here again."
