Top San Simeon Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

El Colibri Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Entire stay was fantastic!"

Sand Pebbles Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The location is perfect. Right across from the beach and boardwalk. Definitely will be back."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely motel. Loved parking right next to the room. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Next stay, I will request the 2nd floor as you really need to leave the windows open and being on the first floor means you are open to the parking lot and anyone walking by. The ocean is steps away and even though the fires were burning in Big Sur, the ocean breeze carried the smoke away."

Cambria Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The Cambria Beach Lodge was our last stop on our two week roadtrip. The hotel is super cute, the room spacious and the beds and shower wonderful. Breakfast in the morning was in the lobby which was delicious with several flavor cakes, oatmeal, fruit, boiled eggs and orange juice/coffee/tea. the Lodge is directly across the beach and boardwalk. It's absolutely gorgeous. We brought our little dog and he had a fabulous time too. We definitely will be back."

The Morgan San Simeon - Cambria by Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Nice room. Great location. Nice comfortable lobby that is actually nice to relax in. The hotel is a little dated but in a nice way. It has a comfortable "throwback" feel. The front desk person say me looking through restaurant menus and unprompted am offers to help and made a great suggestion. I had a better experience here than at hotels that were far more expensive."
