Always a good time

Beautiful location. Been staying here for over 15 years, and it never disappoints. Rooms have been updated/renovated for the second time since I’ve been staying here. Each time more comfortable than the last. Well done Castle Inn!

This property has a beautiful view of the ocean and the chairs are placed right by the moonstone beach. A short walk across the street is nice. The propane fire pit was also quite warm and low maintenance. We didn’t use the pool or jacuzzi but it looked clean. Overall friendly and nice for a stay. The check in person Michael was very personable and friendly.

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.
