Pelican Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"The one thing that guests should be aware of is that housekeeping only cleans your room if requested the night before."

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."

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"

Hampton Inn San Simeon Cambria

10/10 Excellent

"The room is big, clean and looks new. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices, like waffles, hot and cold cereals, eggs filled with cheese, bacon and potatoes and many more. The hotel is walking distance to the beach, restaurants and short drive to Hearst Castle, Cambria and Moonstone beach. We will definitely stay here again."
