Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, this Cambria inn is across the street from Moonstone Beach, Moonstone Boardwalk and sea life sightings at the tide pools. Hearst Castle is 15 minutes’ drive away.

Select rooms feature full or partial ocean views at Castle Inn. Styled in white linens and bright blue accents, each room provides free WiFi, a flat screen TV and an en suite bathroom. I absolutely love this place! We arrived late in the evening so we couldn’t rate the surroundings, but the best thing at that moment was the fire pit near the pool, and we spent the whole evening there. But what a view greeted us in the morning! You have to experience it yourself. Also, the room and bathroom were both spotless. Highly recommend Castle Inn!
