Top San Simeon Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

Silver Surf Motel

8/10 Good

"The rooms were refurbished very nicely. Custom built manufactured stone shower and vanity. Nice combination of furnishings. An interesting adjustable louvered door in front of the sliding glass door. Lots of quality workmanship for a motel room."

Cambria Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I wish I had gotten the name of all the ladies at the front desk because they were all wonderful. They work very hard to attend to the needs of all the guest and even take the time for some casual conversation while getting coffee in the morning. The property of course, is in an excellent location, beautiful views, walking distance to restaurants and shop are just a short drive away!"

White Water

10/10 Excellent

"This is my favorite hotel by far. It’s such a unique experience, more like a B&B than a hotel. The property is gorgeous and so are the rooms. They’re huge and so unique with little nooks and cool layouts. I’ve stayed a few times now and the hotel manager Bryce is always so sweet and helpful. Great cocktails at the bar and my kids loved the nightly s’mores."

"Had an ocean view room right across from the boardwalk path along the ocean. Great restaurant right Nextdoor. Might be a little noisy if your room backs up to the restaurant parking lot. Toilet in room was not flushing but was fixed in a few hours . Hot tubs were great and fire pits."
