We enjoyed the stay at Castle Inn. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and very clean, inside and outside. Outside fire pit and outside seating to watch sunset was a plus.

This property is located right across the highway from the Moonstone Boardwalk and has excellent beach access. The property is clean, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. The continental breakfast is very limited, but the staff makes sure everything is fresh and well stocked. The fire pit area is nice and there is really comfortable sitting areas where you can sit and enjoy the beauty of the beach. We will definetly stay here again and recommend it to all our friends!

No notes. We had an absolutely perfect time. The location of the hotel allows easy access to anything you would want to do in Cambria. The actual hotel itself has a great view of the ocean. The staff are friendly and helpful and are constantly working to make sure everything is clean and prepped. Due to this, the hotel room is fresh and stocked. The pool is heated, spa is great, there is a fire pit, and complementary breakfast. Would highly recommend!!!!

Location was nice and the hotel itself was clean. Rooms were a good size for two adults and two small kids. The kids used the pool and jacuzzi. However, we left one night early because we could hear every step the people above us took. It was very loud and disruptive day and night whenever we were in the room. If I had known this I would have booked the top floor instead.
