Top Central Coast California Hotel Reviews

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This place has incredible views. The property is well maintained and very clean. The pool and spa were very clean, and all the firepits were lit and available for use day and night, which was needed. The beach and coast views are incredible. Beach access was awesome and I didn't know that there were caves on the beach near the resort. Breakfast is good and plenty of food and coffee was plentiful and good quality."

"The pool area and our room were very clean. The rooms are pricey for what you get but the location is great. The staff is not helpful. They're simply there to check you in , no small talk or friendliness, nor provide any information that might improve your stay."
