Top Moonstone Beach Hotel Reviews

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property next to the beach. Many amenities. Great restaurant with very good food. Will stay here again."

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!"

Pelican Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Nice beach view. Clean room. Nice staff."

Sand Pebbles Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, definitely recommend booking an ocean view room to get the most out of your stay."

Sea Otter Inn

8/10 Good

"So close to beach!"

White Water

10/10 Excellent

"This is my favorite hotel by far. It’s such a unique experience, more like a B&B than a hotel. The property is gorgeous and so are the rooms. They’re huge and so unique with little nooks and cool layouts. I’ve stayed a few times now and the hotel manager Bryce is always so sweet and helpful. Great cocktails at the bar and my kids loved the nightly s’mores."
