This is one of many hotels clase to Hearst Castle. The property is nice with beautiful sea view. The staffs are super friendly and nice (much better than most other hotels we stayed during our trip). There is a board walk along the coast with absolutely gorgeous view along the pacific coast. The breakfast is adequate for this type of hotel. I would recommend staying here to visit Hearst Castle.

Castle inn was exactly what the wife and I needed. Greta spot right across the street from the ocean, food right down the road and perfect start for some walking trails. Very comfortable room, clean and front desk employees were very nice.

Great Staff, Clean Hotel, Nearby good restaurant
The rooms are clean, and the staff are friendly and cheerful. The breakfast area is small, but I appreciate that breakfast is served. My only complaint is that the air conditioner is too noisy, making it difficult to sleep for me. The ocean right in front is perfect for a walk. The restaurant two doors down (Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill) serves absolutely delicious food. It opens at 5:00, but customers start lining up and waiting from 4:30.
There is fridge, microwave, coffee maker, TV, and internet
Clean bed room
