Castle Inn

It is very close to the beach, just across the road. The rooms were comfortable and sufficient. There were very nice walking trails along the beach with great views. There were fresh cookies available every morning, and there was a small breakfast area with a minimal breakfast for free. Near the motel there are a few restaurants the you can walk to. Cambria is a cute town with shops, stores and several eating options. San Simeon and Hearst Castle are only a few minutes away. There are several wineries a short drive away in Paso Robles.

Room was decent and clean. They have a nice sized pool and spa. There is a fire pit avaiable in the evening. Great view of the ocean from the property and several chairs available outside.

I’ve stayed at this property twice now, and I always feel safe and at peace. It has easy access to the beach making early morning or sunset walks a no-brainer. It’s also close to town and right off the highway if you’re looking to go up the coast. The fire pit is one of my favorite aspects. It’s lovely to sit out there in the morning and enjoy some breakfast and the sound of the ocean. Plus, I always met kind fellow-travelers and had good conversations.

In the evening we enjoyed sitting on the Adirondack chairs on the lawn after using the hot tub. It was quiet and peaceful even though the inn appeared to be fully booked. The location is just a short drive to Heart Castle and the quaint town of Cambria. If you want to drive about 30 minutes inland to Paso Robles there are hundreds of wineries, restaurants, and shopping places to explore. We would definitely stay at Castle Inn again! Oh, and it’s right across the street from this wheelchair accessible walking path which goes along the coast for a few miles. Beautiful views!

The location on Moonstone beach, and the outdoor hangout spaces were perfect! We enjoyed each night hanging by the fire pit and spending some time in the jacuzzi. The breakfast was quite simple but a helpful touch.
