Top National Geographic Theater Hotel Reviews

Sand Pebbles Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Decor was beautiful. Right across from the beach. We couldn’t find the switch for the fireplace, but we were only there 1 night."

Ragged Point Inn and Resort

8/10 Good

"Lovely grounds, tasty restaurant, and staff"

Pelican Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Second week of October was unseasonably warm. Rooms do not have AC, only ceiling fans. Had to leave balcony door and hall entrance door propped open to get air movement. At least 80 degrees in room afternoon and evening. It did cool down by the end of the week. Again unusual weather."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Other than housekeeping knocking on our door half hour early everything was fine."

Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The property and rooms were very well maintained! The breakfast room had several options if you chose to eat there. Easy access to the boardwalk to enjoy a beautiful scenic walk. Staff was very nice and helpful."

The Morgan San Simeon - Cambria by Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Very Good"

Coast Riders Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice staff will be coming back"

Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Attendant goes completely out of his way to help out customers. Anything you need he will be right there"

White Water

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed the concept of having a breakfast basket delivered to our room. It’s a lovely touch and makes the morning feel special. However, I think the breakfast selection could be more balanced. With three croissants, three sweet cakes, orange juice, and sparkling wine, the basket is heavily focused on sweets and pastries. It would be great to see some savory options, such as eggs, cheese, ham, or other protein-rich foods. Even replacing a few pastries with these items would make the breakfast feel more complete and satisfying. Overall, it’s a wonderful idea, and a little more variety would make the experience even better!"
