Top San Simeon State Park Hotel Reviews

Sea Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We’ll be regulars!"

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was really disappointing and sparse for the number of guests in and out of the breakfast room. The room was incredibly poorly ventilated. Don’t need an A/C but definitely need better ventilation so the air can move. Even with the floor fan running it was super stuffy and uncomfortable unless the door was open all night. The ocean views, sounds and walk to the ocean were incredible. The room is nicely renovated and clean. The patio was extra nice, especially since the room was stuffy."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

8/10 Good

"The staff and location as well as the amenities were great. Amazing views and lots of cool spots to sit outside and even play games or just walk. The property itself is dated. But our room was clean and comfy and honestly the ocean front view with a patio and a fireplace made up for that. Service at the restaurant was good, we didn’t like our lunch but dinner was good. The one thing that really was a bummer was the quality of wifi. Granted I know people are mainly vacationing, but for those that can work remotely and honestly in general that’s something that should be addressed. It could also be that based on where our room was - farther away from the reception/lobby, the wifi was terrible. I noticed that near the restaurant or pool it was better. It was a nice stay overall and we really enjoyed our views and being by the ocean."

Oceanpoint Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"I love the fact that it was close to the beach. staff was very friendly parking was close to the room. The rooms were pretty clean. We enjoyed our stay"
