Top Central Coast California Hotel Reviews

Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, walkable, good breakfast, friendly staff."

Wine Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We came to the Wine Valley Inn on a sunday afternoon. First impression is that the inn is very clean and were told of all the amenities and locations for ice maker, breakfast and so on. Once we got to our Junior Suite it is very nice it was two stories but only one bathroom. The room is clean but it needs some up keep. The vent in the bathroom is a little dusty and should be cleaned once in awhile. I do love the two stories, but the shared hallway couple be noise as the doors have auto closures and we could hear the door slam shut. The location is perfect minutes away from several eateries. A couple minute walk to the main street where all of the local shops are located. The breakfast is good as well. There is always someone at the front desk. Some amenites are for guest used 24/7. The staff is curtious and nice."

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were very impressed with the property. Access to the beach via the staircase led us to walk to the pier for the evening sunset and a viewing of a pod of dolphins . The jacuzzi for adults only was much appreciated after active days. Breakfast was well done and the serving staff were extremely pleasant and willing to help. We loved sitting on the patio for breakfast watching the waves looking for whales. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The pillows were thicker than I am comfortable with."

"Oceanfront property with cozy rooms, friendly staff, and an on-site restaurant. Less than 5 minutes from Hearst Castle. Really appreciate the small touches (a nice hand-written postcard; upscale toiletries). Our room overlooked the ocean, and we watched the sun set. They light bonfires at night. Would definitely return here. Listen to the waves, visit the castle, enjoy the food. Well-run hotel. Better than any chain."
