Top Elephant Seal Vista Point Hotel Reviews

San Simeon Lodge

8/10 Good

"super helpful and friendly restaurant, bar and front desk staff. Overall the staff made our stay excellent. The rooms need a some updating. A bit expensive for the quality of the hotel."

Sea Breeze Inn

8/10 Good

"Older hotel. Arrived late. Parking lot full so we had to park on the street. Everything worked well in the room. The guy who checked us in was wearing a t shirt and seemed to be filling for someone. Nice enough. No one at the desk when we “checked out.” Everyone left their door cards on the front desk as they left. So if you want an experience that doesn’t feel like a professional hotel experience, this is it."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

8/10 Good

"The waterfront location was absolutely stunning, with beautiful views throughout our stay. One thing to be aware of is that it can get quite windy. We were a bit disappointed that there wasn’t a swimming beach on the property, as our kids were looking forward to that, but the two heated pools were very nice and helped make up for it. Our favorite feature was the fire pits—they were the perfect place to relax and watch the sunset each evening. Overall, a beautiful property with amazing scenery. Motel style rooms."

Coast Riders Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I don’t know why Google Maps describes this place as a two star hotel. Hosts were very receptive at check in and gifted us cookies and other trinkets, parking was easy, the bed was large and comfortable, and the tv had a good set up. It is a great stop on highway one to wake up, do Hearst Castle early in the morning and continue the drive. Nearby Cambria has great restaurants for dinner too. Would recommend."
