Top Piedras Blancas Lighthouse Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"This is GO TO place on the Central Coast. Everybody and everting about this place is A-1."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

8/10 Good

"I noticed accumulated dirt in the corners in the bathroom. The coffee maker did not work. The veneer on the bathroom door was ragged. The restaurant staff were good."

Pelican Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Loved the room and the view. Although the room was a little small and had no air conditioning. The location is fantastic. Definitely will return."

Castle Inn

8/10 Good

"Perfect location. My only note is that for the price, I expect a little luxury (quality towels, good pillows, a non-saggy bed)."

Silver Surf Motel

8/10 Good

"Был хороший персонал и чистая комната..."

Coast Riders Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are super nice & helpful, I really like that the rooms have wood laminate floors (so much better than carpet), and the sound of the ocean while falling asleep and waking up is just priceless. Good dining options with ocean view next door and across the street, and the location is just perfect, at the half-way point for a Pacific Coast Highway trip from LA to San Francisco. Bonus: a working Triumph motorcycle and lots of car models in the reception, and cool motorcycle art in the rooms."

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location and views of ocean. Breakfast was tasty but limited."

Sands by The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Great place!"

Sand Pebbles Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The best location beach front. Sitting outdoors, the room was beautifully decorated & had all the amenities needed, and the breakfast options were great. Nice boardwalk right out front along the entire length of the beach & totally recommend Moonstone beach cafe for dinner with really nice ocean views"
