Top San Simeon Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

Blue Dolphin Inn

8/10 Good

"Lovely location on Moonstone Dr., clean room with daily breakfast options offered as part of the room price. Parking was easy, and the access to hiking and wine tasting was fantastic."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great view"

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

8/10 Good

"Excellent location to the boardwalk. Easy parking and great ocean view"

Pelican Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Second week of October was unseasonably warm. Rooms do not have AC, only ceiling fans. Had to leave balcony door and hall entrance door propped open to get air movement. At least 80 degrees in room afternoon and evening. It did cool down by the end of the week. Again unusual weather."

Cambria Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, staff was fantastic"

The Morgan San Simeon - Cambria by Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Very Good"

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."

Cambria Landing Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close to the beach and restaurant right next door. Very clean. Would stay there again. Staff very friendly and helpful."
