"A regular place for me! Wonderful!"

Hampton Inn San Simeon Cambria

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the Hampton Inn San Simeon while visiting Hearst Castle. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the location was very convenient. The breakfast was good, and the coffee was amazing and always fresh. We’d definitely stay here again!"

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

8/10 Good

"The property was good"

Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Unfortunately the jacuzzi was not working on the night we stayed."

Sand Pebbles Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We got a room directly looking out to the ocean. Kept the large window open all day and all night watching and listening to the waves. Such a great location if you want to destress or take relaxing strolls along the beach."

White Water

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Coast Riders Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A very great place along the way between Southern California and Northern California. if you're driving the coast it's certainly is a great stop. The people are good. the service is good."

Oceanpoint Ranch

8/10 Good

"I felt like our room needed some extra cleaning (vacuuming better, cobwebs and our bathroom screen was disgustingly filthy). Was disappointed that our shear curtains were missing on the front window, and as our room was warm you couldn't get outside air from the window without everyone looking straight into your room. Brie was very helpful by getting us a fan. The property was very clean and we always had an open parking space. The bed was very comfortable! We have been coming here every August for the past 13 years and as we're getting older I'm realizing the toilets are very low to the ground. I do love Ocean Pointe Ranch and highly recommend!"
