Top William Randolph Hearst Memorial Beach Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn near Hearst Castle - Cambria

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, comfortable room and bed. Views are marvelous. Staff was very helpful."

Sands by The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"A charming little hotel nestled right on the beach. I especially loved the nightly campfires, which created a cozy atmosphere where guests could sit by the fire and enjoy the beach in the evenings. Unfortunately, the hotel is quite dated and could benefit from better maintenance and some upgrades, especially considering the price. Service was inconsistent, with some staff being friendly and professional while others seemed inexperienced or unhelpful. Room service was technically available but practically nonexistent, as calls often went unanswered or requests were met with confusion. The hotel feels more like a family-run business than a professionally managed resort. While this gives it a certain charm, there is room for improvement in staff training, professionalism, and overall service. Although the hotel is dog-friendly, the restaurant is not, and there is only one outdoor table available beside it, making dining with a dog somewhat inconvenient. Overall, I enjoyed the location and unique atmosphere, particularly the nightly beach campfires. However, with better maintenance, upgraded facilities, and more consistent service, the hotel could offer a much better experience for the price."

"The staff were a great help in extra amenities we needed. They would come and clean the room daily. The bodywah shampoo and conditioner were small for four people to a room and the AC did not work but they did provide fans for the room which was nice. Overall we did enjoy our stay and will come again. We love how close we were to the beach."
