This property has a beautiful view of the ocean and the chairs are placed right by the moonstone beach. A short walk across the street is nice. The propane fire pit was also quite warm and low maintenance. We didn’t use the pool or jacuzzi but it looked clean. Overall friendly and nice for a stay. The check in person Michael was very personable and friendly.

This is one of many hotels clase to Hearst Castle. The property is nice with beautiful sea view. The staffs are super friendly and nice (much better than most other hotels we stayed during our trip). There is a board walk along the coast with absolutely gorgeous view along the pacific coast. The breakfast is adequate for this type of hotel. I would recommend staying here to visit Hearst Castle.

Great Staff, Clean Hotel, Nearby good restaurant

The rooms are clean, and the staff are friendly and cheerful. The breakfast area is small, but I appreciate that breakfast is served. My only complaint is that the air conditioner is too noisy, making it difficult to sleep for me. The ocean right in front is perfect for a walk. The restaurant two doors down (Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill) serves absolutely delicious food. It opens at 5:00, but customers start lining up and waiting from 4:30.
There is fridge, microwave, coffee maker, TV, and internet
