About the Castle Hotel

6620 Moonstone Beach Dr, Cambria, California, United States, 93428

Castle Inn, Cambria - A Classic Coastal Retreat

The Castle Inn in Cambria has always held a certain charm, and its recent renovation elevates it to a truly compelling option for those seeking seaside serenity. Part of a unique collection of properties lining the fabled Moonstone Beach, this classic motel has been thoughtfully updated to offer modern conveniences within a fun and decidedly family-friendly environment. It's a place where the simple pleasures of oceanfront living are front and center.

Location

Positioned directly across from the much-loved Moonstone Beach Boardwalk, the Castle Inn offers immediate access to the iconic coastline. This Cambria spot is ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the area, with tide pools brimming with sea life just a short stroll away. Leffingwell Landing Park, offering gorgeous vistas, is also within easy reach. For those inclined to venture slightly further, the Piedras Blancas Light House Lens is a mere 2 km drive.

Style and Character

The Castle Inn embraces its classic motel roots while infusing a sense of refined, contemporary comfort. The recent renovation has focused on creating a light and airy atmosphere. Rooms are styled with white linens and bright blue accents, evoking the coastal setting. Outside, the large front lawn is a central feature, dotted with iconic red Adirondack chairs and comfortable seating areas that invite guests to pause, watch the waves, and perhaps engage in a game of bean bag toss. It's a cheerful, approachable vibe, a far cry from stuffy formality.

Service and Facilities

While not a grand resort, the Castle Inn focuses on providing the essentials with warmth. Complimentary wireless internet access is available throughout, and the front desk offers a safe deposit box for guest convenience. The hotel features an outdoor swimming pool, heated for year-round enjoyment and offering ocean views, making it a pleasant spot for some family fun. A picnic area is also available for guests to enjoy the coastal air. Featured amenities include complimentary newspapers in the lobby.

Rooms

The newly renovated, spacious guest rooms at Castle Inn are designed to provide comfort and modern conveniences. Many offer spectacular ocean views, with upstairs rooms providing an excellent vantage point to watch the daily sunsets. Each room comes equipped with air conditioning, a tea and coffee maker, a flat-screen TV, and free WiFi. Private bathrooms feature showers with designer toiletries and hair dryers. For those traveling with pets, some rooms offer comfortable pillow pet beds and include food and water bowls, a thoughtful touch for furry companions.

Food and Drink

The Castle Inn does not feature onsite restaurants, encouraging guests to explore the culinary landscape of Cambria. However, in-room amenities such as coffee/tea makers and the convenience of a nearby picnic area allow for simple, enjoyable refreshments. The hotel's location provides easy access to a variety of local eateries and cafes, perfect for experiencing the region's flavors.

Value for Money

The Castle Inn presents itself as a solid value, particularly for families and friends looking for direct access to Moonstone Beach without the premium price tag of larger resorts. The inclusion of modern amenities like free WiFi, air conditioning, and newly renovated rooms, coupled with the generous outdoor space and ocean views, makes it an attractive proposition for a relaxed coastal getaway. Its focus on the essentials and the inherent charm of its location contribute to a feeling of worthwhile affordability.

Accessibility

Specific details regarding accessibility features for guests with disabilities were not extensively detailed. However, as a renovated motel, it is advisable to inquire directly with the property about the availability of adapted rooms or specific access points to ensure it meets individual needs.

Family-Friendly

This inn is a great option for families. The spacious rooms, some of which come with pillow pet beds and food/water bowls for pets, cater to a comfortable stay. The heated outdoor pool with ocean views is perfect for family entertainment, and the large front lawn with Adirondack chairs and seating areas provides ample space for children to play or for families to gather. Its proximity to the beach and tide pools further enhances its appeal for those traveling with younger guests, offering easy access to seaside exploration and activities.
