Top National Geographic Theater Hotel Reviews

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!"

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. We loved the room they gave us! It had a king bed, a real fireplace, a deck, and a partial ocean view. It felt so peaceful as it was away from the main buildings. There is one other room next door, which might have changed things, but it was vacant during our stay, so it felt like we had our own little getaway. The room could use a little TLC here and there, but it was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The TV and fireplace worked great. The woman at the front desk who checked us in was so sweet, and it was probably the quickest hotel check-in we’ve ever had. They even gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne. The property is huge and right on the beach, and the evening sunset fires were really fun. We sat around the fires chatting with other travelers, which gave the whole place such a friendly, welcoming feel. We did not try the pool areas."

Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast. Nice pool and hot tub. The main guy in the office very nice and helpful. All staff helpful. Gave us a candy bar when checking out! Clean comfy room. Nice balcony"

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"

Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute and clean room and property!"

Sea Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very accessible to take Highway one up or north very convenience for visiting her castle nothing fancy just to clean room and bathroom little fresh microwave. Make some coffee or Tv you open you sleep with Windows open nighttime yeah I hear the way hitting the rocks easy very nice thank you."

Ragged Point Inn and Resort

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely Inn. I stayed in a room with a view of the ocean and it was one of the best views I’ve ever had. This place is old, but it’s clean, if you want everything modern and up-to-date. This isn’t the place for you. The only drawback was the cell phone reception the only Internet available is via AT&T. If you have anything else, you will have no Internet reception."
