Comfort Inn near Hearst Castle - Cambria

8/10 Good

"Good quality and value in a motel…room was very clean, enjoyed the free breakfast, great location for visiting Hearst Castle. Seemed like only one person was working and the front desk often wasn’t manned."

Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

8/10 Good

"a last minute booking for a stop for the night. Nice location and got to see an amazing sunset. Excellent customer service of the front desk staff when we checked-in. buffet Breakfast was a bonus! One hiccup was the driveway entrance needs to be repaired so we just had to be cautious of the one lane for entrance and exit. Overall a good stay for a good value."

The Morgan San Simeon - Cambria by Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Near the ocean and away from tourist traffic. Property was quiet and clean. Bed comfortable and room. Was spacious. Proerty needs some updating and upkeep. There is no elevator! Staff was very helpful to get our bags upstairs and down. There is a heated pool but no spa. I would definitely stay here again."

Coast Riders Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The best hotel ever! The location is perfect, and the LEGO creations in the lobby are absolutely amazing—they're worth seeing on their own. A special thank you to Jane at the front desk. She was incredibly helpful, sweet, and just genuinely cool. She made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. This was our third time staying here, and it definitely won't be our last. We can't wait to come back again!"
