Top William Randolph Hearst Memorial Beach Hotel Reviews

Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay right across from the boardwalk which I enjoyed. The only thing U would say is that some of the guests hogged the fire pit for hours. We weren’t able to use it at all. It would be nice if they put a time limit for families to stay at fire pit so others can enjoy. An evening coffee and dessert bar would be nice since not much is open in evenings in Cambria at night. Other than those things the property was cute and clean. Would highly recommend it!"
