Top San Simeon Pier Hotel Reviews

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The. room was. perfectly located across from beach access. The only disappointment was the lack of a microwave in room. There was a. coffee maker and refrigerator in room but no microwave. In the last. 30 yrs., I have never seen accommodations not including these appliances. It was necessary to purchase a small microwave since I require this for personal use. Other than that, the stay could not be better."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. We loved the room they gave us! It had a king bed, a real fireplace, a deck, and a partial ocean view. It felt so peaceful as it was away from the main buildings. There is one other room next door, which might have changed things, but it was vacant during our stay, so it felt like we had our own little getaway. The room could use a little TLC here and there, but it was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The TV and fireplace worked great. The woman at the front desk who checked us in was so sweet, and it was probably the quickest hotel check-in we’ve ever had. They even gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne. The property is huge and right on the beach, and the evening sunset fires were really fun. We sat around the fires chatting with other travelers, which gave the whole place such a friendly, welcoming feel. We did not try the pool areas."

"This is such a unique place. Beautiful rooms, Ours had a fireplace! Comfortable bed. Luxury lotion and hair products ❤️ Nice continental breakfast- local bakery breads, hard boiled eggs, fruit, and their special recipe oatmeal, along with an assortment of teas and of course coffee. But the extra special part is the location. Literally steps to the boardwalk and ocean! The crashing mornings waves to the views of sunset await. Minutes to all types of dining experiences. You feel so well taken care of by all of the caretakers of this lodge."

Hampton Inn San Simeon Cambria
