Top National Geographic Theater Hotel Reviews

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."

Sea Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Na"

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

8/10 Good

"Great location"

Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"This is GO TO place on the Central Coast. Everybody and everting about this place is A-1."

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!"

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"

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."
