Top San Simeon State Park Hotel Reviews

Silver Surf Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Silver surf is an excellent place to stay. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are clean. They have a large grassy area if you have a dog they’re very good about pets and the best thing we find is the hot tub and the swimming pool they’re indoors and the swimming pool is warm. Excellent swimming in the hot tub is great for relaxing."

El Colibri Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place to stay! We enjoyed the boardwalk"

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 ❤️❤️"

Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location excellent staff everything is very good and I definitely recommend this to stay with the family."

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!"
