Great location - just had to walk across the road to reach the boardwalk and beach areas. Rooms were clean and comfortable, and breakfast had plenty of options. Best of all were the staff. All of them were friendly and helpful. Jack and Daniel were both particularly wonderful and kind. Would definitely stay here again!

When I want to go to a beautiful, quite and relaxing place for a peaceful stay, I like going to the Castle Inn in Cambria. In the past 28 years, have stayed at the Castle Inn quite a few times. I've always had a very pleasant experience and that is what keeps me going back.

Fantastic location - just across small street from boardwalk along the beach - fantastic location to access the beach and see the sunset. Clean, comfortable, and spacious rooms. Breakfast was good, and there were other amenities like a hot tub and fire pit available. Nearby restaurant with good food. Very pleasant ambiance and quick drive to Hearst Castle. The Castle Inn was a great place to visit!
