Top Moonstone Beach Hotel Reviews

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully current and spacious room. Great location, right across from beach walking paths and short walk to the famous nearby cafe. Comfortable bed."

Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and ocean views. Chairs available on the lawn to view the ocean and sunset! A fire pit and hot tub complete the property. Breakfast tasty, great coffee and helpful staff. Rooms comfortable, clean and a cozy bed. Love Castle Inn ❤️❤️"

Blue Dolphin Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Had an excellent experience on our one night stay and regretted not planning for more days. We fell in love with the fabulous view from our front ocean room. Thank you for the warm welcome on our arrival, the great hospitality and delicious breakfast. We will definitely plan another stay soon."

Cambria Shores Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect setting, steps to the ocean and perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine. Enjoyed the morning breakfast basket"

Little Sur Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our one night stay at Little Sur in late September. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Recommend the upper floor with partial view. Enough to enjoy with a cup of coffee at the table. The area has a nice boardwalk and benches to enjoy early morning walks or the gorgeous sunsets. The staff was kind and attentive. Wish we had stayed longer."

FogCatcher Inn

8/10 Good

"My family and I really love this place. We went during an October heat wave and the rooms don’t have A/C or ceiling fans so rooms were hot. Pool was drained and needs repairing would have been nice to use in the 90 degree heat. We’d still come back but I’d suggest to management look into getting ceiling fans and fixing the pool and one of the fire pits."

Bluebird Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean and well maintained,"

The Morgan San Simeon - Cambria by Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Although this appeared to be an older property, it was well maintained. Front desk staff were very helpful. Breakfast was an elevated continental experience and included a waffle maker."

Cambria Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Came here as a last minute option with a nightmare of a hotel experience prior to arriving here. I am so thankful there was one room available for our entire stay last minute. I was so happy with the late check in assistance, even with the lobby being closed for the night. The check in process was quick and easy and the hospitality from the staff was simply unmatched in today's customer service world. The rooms are cute and quaint and impeccably clean. The location is great and the sound of waves at night just relaxes you throughout the night. Parking is a bit on the tighter side, especially if you're driving a big truck, but overall a very minimal detail in an otherwise great experience. I will definitely be staying here again when visiting family in the area and will be recommending this location for anyone staying in or near Cambria, CA. What a gem!"
