The view was amazing and walkable to beach and a great restaurant. The rooms were older but no elevators if you would need it. Chairs in room to sit outside to watch the sea and sunset. Desk clerk was not in a good mood but I suppose we all could have a bad day.

Nice hotel, across the street from Moonstone Beach, which is lovely. The room was fine and had been recently redecorated, but the beds weren't the comfiest.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We were only in Cambria for one night but we enjoyed our stay at the Castle Inn. Jack was on the reception desk when we checked in and he was fantastic! He was very welcoming, gave the kids an extra cookie and then not only recommended a restaurant in town, but kindly called them to make us a reservation. The hotel was basic but clean with all the amenities you need. The pool area was great too. Would recommend this hotel.

A perfect beach getaway! Lovely property with many outdoor amenities. The pool, hot tub & gas fire pit were a perfect welcome. A/C unit offered a respite for the humid 90 degree days. Rooms were very clean, well appointed. I would upgrade the hair dryer, but that’s me. Awesome storage & hanging space for clothes. Hooks in bath for hanging wet suits. Loved our visit. Top of the mark was the ice maker with filtered water to fill bottles. And Breakfast! Directly across from water & sunsets😎💥
