Top Elephant Seal Vista Point Hotel Reviews

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The. room was. perfectly located across from beach access. The only disappointment was the lack of a microwave in room. There was a. coffee maker and refrigerator in room but no microwave. In the last. 30 yrs., I have never seen accommodations not including these appliances. It was necessary to purchase a small microwave since I require this for personal use. Other than that, the stay could not be better."

Ragged Point Inn and Resort

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely Inn. I stayed in a room with a view of the ocean and it was one of the best views I’ve ever had. This place is old, but it’s clean, if you want everything modern and up-to-date. This isn’t the place for you. The only drawback was the cell phone reception the only Internet available is via AT&T. If you have anything else, you will have no Internet reception."

Hampton Inn San Simeon Cambria

10/10 Excellent

"The room is big, clean and looks new. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices, like waffles, hot and cold cereals, eggs filled with cheese, bacon and potatoes and many more. The hotel is walking distance to the beach, restaurants and short drive to Hearst Castle, Cambria and Moonstone beach. We will definitely stay here again."
