Top Moonstone Beach 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."

Bluebird Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, easy check in and check out. I docked one star off the amenities because there was no streaming services on the tv which was stated there would be when booking the property. Overall it was a beautiful place to stay at and would so again."

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."

Moonstone Landing

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, nice breakfast, fireplace in room. Highly recommended..."

Pelican Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Wasn’t aware there was no elevator in the building we stayed in. Not a problem because we’re able bodied, but we got in so late (10p) and I wasn’t expecting to lug our stuff up one flight of stairs. Otherwise a beautiful property in a beautiful location. Right across the street from the beach, and a small street at that. The fireplace and location was what made me book here and I wasn’t disappointed. I love gas fireplaces in a hotel room. Somewhat overly large bathroom with a bench seat in the window. The sunken living room area was nice, the couch was hard as a brick and a fold out bed that we didn’t use. The TV was odd, but I think that’s just their cable provider. We travel with an Apple TV and the secondary hdmi ports could not be accessed with the remote so we had to unplug the main hdmi but that’s not really a problem. Parking was slightly awkward, but there were spots available even at our late arrival. Did not partake in their continental breakfast but it is nice that it’s available. Loved the area and would definitely stay here or at a few of the other lovely seeming properties on this stretch of beach. Balcony was a good size and the view from our room was fantastic. The blackout curtains aren’t on all windows so even when the two windows were blacked out it was still fairly bright after sunup. The downtown, just a short drive away. It was very cute and offered many options for food or drink, and very walkable."

Cambria Shores Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, beautiful sunset views, wonderful breakfast basket, friendly staff, nice wine selection."
