My husband and I both were more than pleased with our stay. It's peaceful and quiet. The view was amazing and we were able to watch the beautiful sunset and it's within walking distance to our favorite place to eat The Moonstone bar & grill. Oh and we loved the breakfast the scones are my fave😊
Nothing to complain about

Wish we had more time here, it was such an inviting place. The staff were excellent and friendly. The room was so spacious and comfortable with great amenities and the addition of cookies in the room was such a tasty touch. The shower was excellent (pressure and size). Wi-Fi and TV all great. The breakfast was ample. The location is opposite the ocean and the walking track easy to access. We would have loved to have used the pool and hot tub - next time. If ever I'm back in that part of the world would definitely go back. We were a family of five and had two rooms.
That we didn't have more time there.

I’ve stayed at this property twice now, and I always feel safe and at peace. It has easy access to the beach making early morning or sunset walks a no-brainer. It’s also close to town and right off the highway if you’re looking to go up the coast. The fire pit is one of my favorite aspects. It’s lovely to sit out there in the morning and enjoy some breakfast and the sound of the ocean. Plus, I always met kind fellow-travelers and had good conversations.
You can heat the neighbors a little bit, but I think that’s to be expected. It’s never been a nuisance or caused any problems.

The breakfast bar, the amenities, the fire pit and great location. Close to a great restaurant. Excellent location.
Couldn't check in until right at 3 pm. We arrived early at 1. No cell service in the room or on the actual property. Had to walk across the street for reception. Which wasn't too bad. Also the smell of cleaning chemicals when we checked in was so strong we couldn't hardly breathe. Luckily I had some febreeze with me. I'm very sensitive to certain smells. Also our room was under the stairs and we couldn't see much of anything. Otherwise great place.

In the evening we enjoyed sitting on the Adirondack chairs on the lawn after using the hot tub. It was quiet and peaceful even though the inn appeared to be fully booked. The location is just a short drive to Heart Castle and the quaint town of Cambria. If you want to drive about 30 minutes inland to Paso Robles there are hundreds of wineries, restaurants, and shopping places to explore. We would definitely stay at Castle Inn again! Oh, and it’s right across the street from this wheelchair accessible walking path which goes along the coast for a few miles. Beautiful views!

The location was the best. All the outside seating, pool, and jacuzzi faces the ocean is beautiful. Great accommodations for handicapped with both the pool and jacuzzi. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Jack at the front desk was great in updating my room for my physically impaired friend. This hotel has the best outdoor seating on Moonstone Beach. I will definitely stay here from now on. They also have a BBQ for use.
The breakfast is good, but not great. What they have is good, but a few more options wouldn't hurt. It was good for me because I'm not a big breakfast eater. If my husband were with me fir sure we would have had to go out to eat breakfast.

The location on Moonstone beach, and the outdoor hangout spaces were perfect! We enjoyed each night hanging by the fire pit and spending some time in the jacuzzi. The breakfast was quite simple but a helpful touch.
The rooms on the first floor were noisy with the sound of people walking in the room above us. I would stay here again but on the 2nd floor. If you’re staying on the first floor, a white noise machine and ear plugs help. We had two different groups stay above us, and both were noisy walking (so it wasn’t just one heavy-stepper).

Very clean and updated premises and room. Nice quality features and amenities. Breakfast included with the room fee and had a nice verity of breakfast type foods to select from a self serve buffet. Nice outdoor area with fire pit and pool. Very good value for all that this motel has to offer. This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and it has been upgraded since out last visit and is even better than it was before. Staff is always friendly and efficient.
Heater was a little noisy with the fan going on and off to regulate

Castle Inn is in a beautiful location across the ocean with activities and places to eat within walking distance. Love the seating in front that allows you to see the sunset in comfort. The inn itself is well maintained with upgrades in progress. The room was clean and so comfortable that we slept in and missed breakfast. The front desk staff is very helpful and offered extra coffee, toiletries and beach towels.
The pool, jacuzzi and fire pit are being remodeled but am looking forward to coming back to enjoy the amenities. So far the remodel is looking great; the materials being used for the upgrade are top grade.
