The staff was very helpful, the rooms were very clean. The location of the hotel is perfect. We got to walk the path and enjoy the scenery. Also the hotel has outdoor seating areas that not only gave you a great view, but was kept clean. I would recommend staying here. I will definitely be back!

Mid-March Getaway

Everything was pristine, even the freshly washed parking lot. The hot tub/pool area was perfectly clean and comfortable. And we really enjoyed meeting and chatting with our host Jack. He recommended a great dinner restaurant.

Extremely clean bedroom but a slight “ musty” smell in the bathroom. Must be damp under floor tiles or behind shower surround as no visible evidence of water leaking. Nice continental breakfast with very friendly staff

Fantastic!

Castle Inn is a wonderful place to stay in Cambria. Very convenient location to Moonstone Bar & Grill, and as well as a short drive to the shopping area in town. We plan on staying at Castle Inn when we return to Cambria on our next vacation!

Updated rooms were very clean and spacious. The surrounding grounds were great for relaxing with a book or visiting with friends to share cocktails with ocean views. Nice continental breakfast included. Warning though, staying on the lower level, is not recommended, depending on who is staying above you. Not much sound barrier between floors. Otherwise we had a great stay.

We were coming in late and Jack (front office staff) reached out to check on us. Felt immediately welcomed and knew we were in for a good stay. Rooms were spotless. Breakfast was cute enough for the kids (and I want the pancake machine in my own home). Every staff member was great but Jack really stood out and went above and beyond. Thank you for the wonderful stay!
