Top San Simeon Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

The Morgan San Simeon - Cambria by Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Very Good"

Blue Dolphin Inn

8/10 Good

"A warm and cozy place with the roar of the ocean right across the street. Highly recommended."

White Water

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed the concept of having a breakfast basket delivered to our room. It’s a lovely touch and makes the morning feel special. However, I think the breakfast selection could be more balanced. With three croissants, three sweet cakes, orange juice, and sparkling wine, the basket is heavily focused on sweets and pastries. It would be great to see some savory options, such as eggs, cheese, ham, or other protein-rich foods. Even replacing a few pastries with these items would make the breakfast feel more complete and satisfying. Overall, it’s a wonderful idea, and a little more variety would make the experience even better!"

Oceanpoint Ranch

8/10 Good

"Super cute pup-friendly stay! The rooms are spacious and the property is so quiet. If you’re someone like me who gets cold easily, bring yourself a space heater because the room only has a built-in wall AC fan. We enjoyed the proximity to the beautiful coastline and beaches. We were also close to downtown, which made venturing out easy. Highly recommend Linn’s for meals."

Sand Pebbles Inn

8/10 Good

"The daily breakfast delivered to the room was great! The bed was comfortable and clean. My only suggestion is to upgrade the ceiling fan or provide a table fan. The ceiling fan hardly moved any air and it got a bit stuffy at night. Other than that, a great stay."

Sea Breeze Inn

8/10 Good

"It was perfect! Loved the ocean view. I will be back again . Thank you!"

Cambria Landing Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close to the beach and restaurant right next door. Very clean. Would stay there again. Staff very friendly and helpful."

El Colibri Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, well maintained property. Immaculate room. A luxurious experience."
