Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Oceanfront property with cozy rooms, friendly staff, and an on-site restaurant. Less than 5 minutes from Hearst Castle. Really appreciate the small touches (a nice hand-written postcard; upscale toiletries). Our room overlooked the ocean, and we watched the sun set. They light bonfires at night. Would definitely return here. Listen to the waves, visit the castle, enjoy the food. Well-run hotel. Better than any chain."

Oceanpoint Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"Very charming beachside motel. Friendly staff. Beautiful landscaping. Clean well appointed rooms. Do not let the no A/C deter you. Very comfortable rooms with cross breeze. Perfect stay."

Pelican Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The balcony view was very nice . The room was comprtable and also very nice. Be aware that you might be given assurance of a requested room but when you arrive they gave the room to someone else. It happened to us and also to another guest when we were checking in. The continental breakfast in the morning was only sweet breads, yogurt cups ( they ran out by the second day of our stay)- and instant oatmeal cups - No decaf coffee- no milk - no juice. Overall, it was a nice stay."
