Sands by The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent! I took my wife for her bday and we enjoyed the beach views the restaurant the nights with campfires and the atmosphere! You just need better pillows! Everything else was excellent! Can't wait for our next getaway!"

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Food Restaurant is less than satisfactory. The lawn area needs maintenance."

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."

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location and views of ocean. Breakfast was tasty but limited."

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."
