Stayed here last weekend and had a great time. The room was very clean and the beds comfy. Kids loved the pool and hot tub. The hotel is right next to the beach access. Room rate was very fair. I looked at a couple of other places online before booking that were much more expensive, but very glad I chose... More

We stayed at the Castle Inn for one night to break up the journey from LA to San Francisco. It was such a great place. The room was large and comfortable. The reception staff were very helpful. We went for dinner at the local fish restaurant which was lovely! The views were stunning of the sea. We would definately stay... More

We stayed 2 nights in ocean view king room. Linens and towels were crisp and fluffy. Room was good size for value though not updated in recent years. Reception staff, especially Diana, very helpful and friendly. Loved the Adirondack chairs and spent a few hours listening to ocean while reading our Nooks. Boardwalk is directly across a low level travel... More

We stayed for just one night during our drive up from Los Angeles to San Francisco . The Inn certainly matched our expectations after reading the hotel's website and the guest reviews. The lady on reception was very helpful . The room was on the basic side but large and very clean .The breakfast was adequate for our needs .... More

We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Cambria. Reception staff were very helpful and pleasant at all times. Our room which had an ocean view was upstairs and was a good size. The shower room was very small but everything was clean. The breakfast room was quite small with only 3 tables but it appeared that most people came... More

This hotel was cheaper than some of the others I looked at in Cambria. The check in was excellent and Dawn was extremely helpful advising us on where to go for food etc. The hotel itself was like a motel with the rooms off the parking lot. We stayed in an upstairs room with an ocean view. I would say... More

We took our 75 pound "pound puppy" for an experiment in staying with our dog. The room was nice, a pillow, dog bowls and treats waiting for us. The place is on Moonstone beach boardwalk.There was a decent continental breakfast. Nice sitting area, the old fashioned kind. Adirondack chairs on the lawn facing the ocean. Nice pool which was closed... More

We stayed at The Castle Inn for 2 nights in August 2012 having booked it at the last minute while in Monterey on our way down the west coast from SF to LA. As it was still holiday season we were lucky to get accommodation at such short notice, something we would not do again i.e. we would pre-book on-line... More

This is part of a small group of hotels in Cambria and is not the best in the group whilst the rooms were clean there was an unpleasant smell lingering in them which I found most off putting. The beds was not overly comfortable a good mattress topper would have helped enormously. The bathrooms are very small but clean and... More

We had a wonderful experience here! While the hot tub jets were not working, everything else was wonderful.The location, staff, breakfast, and cost were worth staying there. You are right on the shore for less than one hundred per night, and you are only minutes from Hearst Castle!
