Top National Geographic Theater Hotel Reviews

Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the view of the water and easy access to the boardwalk."

Sea Breeze Inn

8/10 Good

"The rooms have been renovated and are up to a modern standard. Very friendly and caring staff. I left my indoor lights on in my vehicle and the staff tracked me down and notified me. Very caring and supportive! Wished the place would offer at least a minimal continental breakfast. Extra Plus: You can hear the ocean at night!"

Silver Surf Motel

8/10 Good

"Check in was quick and easy. Spacious room! Safe area. Close to beach. Within walking distance to multiple restaurants. I don’t believe there was AC, but we opened the windows and it was quiet outside. We didn’t use the pool, but nice that there was one. Beds were very comfortable. Water pressure could have been better, but it got the job done. Overall, we enjoyed our stay along the coast!"

Oceanpoint Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room."

Hampton Inn San Simeon Cambria

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay despite some minor issues checking in due to a network outage for the hotel. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and convenient for us. The breakfast was as expected and adequate for a complementary meal. The only gripe I had was that 2x was unable to reach the front desk by using the phone. No one responded, so I had to go in-person. Not sure what that was about, but overall we had a decent experience."
