Pelican Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel on Moonstone Beach! Beautiful view and exceptional staff!! We will definitely come back!!"

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

6/10 Okay

"We had a great time. Room was clean. Check in and out was super easy. Complementary breakfast was not a breakfast. Coffee, some bars and oatmeal is not breakfast. Also, the coffee machine in our room was broken, missing pieces. Furniture in balcony needs an upgrade. They were fully damp in the morning. Room needs a bigger table."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The location is amazing. The hotel is a bit dated but is clean and the staff is great. The fire pits and cliff-side chess set and checkerboard are very fun. 2 pools and a restaurant onsite are convenient but the star of the show is the beach/coastal areas. You practically have them all to yourself."

Quality Inn near Hearst Castle

8/10 Good

"Great location to access Hearst Castle. Had restaurant on property. Decent choices of meals. Wasn't very busy on Tuesday night. One guy does it all. Front desk person was efficient and pleasant. Offered the older couple in front of me a ground level room since they have no elevator for second level rooms. They accepted. I wasn't offered an upstairs room. I must have looked healthy enough to carry my bags upstairs. Exterior stairs. About 15 of them. It was a pain with my heavy bag but I made it. My room had the sliding door open about a foot out to the outside porch. It did let in fresh air but I closed it for security reasons. Although it would be hard for someone to jump from one balcony to another, it could be done. So I closed and locked it but that made it hotter at night since there was no AC in the room. Heat only. A negative for me from the east coast. All in all, decent room. Just wish it had AC and I was on the ground floor. I didn't have breakfast there but it was available."
