If you want to stay as close to Hearst Castle as possible, this hotel is a good choice. There aren’t a lot of restaurants within walking distance. The hotel is quiet and there are some nice views to be had. However, if you are willing to be a little further from Hearst Castle, the town of Cambria is a great option and is more vibrant.
