Fantastic beach location.

The location was fantastic, with the beach and the Moonstone Beach Board walk just adjacent to the Inn. The boardwalk enabled you to walk along the coast and eventually access the nearby town of Cambria. The breakfast delivery in the basket was also a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Lovely roadside motel great for stop over on travels.

Amazing location and comfortable beds. Lovely touch to have picnic basket breakfast (additional charge) but we could take this across the road and sit watching sea otters playing in the waves in the morning sun. Perfect one night stop over on our Big Sur travels.

Perfect for an overnight stay near PCH

Some lovely walks right on the doorstep along the boardwalk by the Pacific. Wildlife and local flora and fauna much in evidence. A warm welcome, lovely room and a basket with a small, nutritious breakfast hung outside our door in the morning.

We would return to this hotel and definitely recommend it

Great location right on the ocean road. Clean; comfortable, lovely staff. When we were stressed and arrived later than expected at night due to road closures etc, we were met with a very helpful and empathetic gentleman who expedited our check in process.

Would use again when drive the PCH again

Room very nice and location good, We only had a lay over en-route and didn't get to visit the area only the beach early morning for a good walk, was recommended by a you tuber and I specifically went on her advise and was not disappointed.

Wonderful, peaceful place to stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sea Otter Inn. We made good use of the beautiful spa/pool area. The fires and towels were a lovely touch by the pools. We felt very welcome, safe, and happy staying here. The breakfast picnic baskets were super cute and delicious, such a nice touch! The biggest room we stayed in for our entire American trip and we wish we had booked two nights instead of one, such a beautiful area!

This is a brilliantly located motel with lovely grounds and comfortable rooms. We enjoyed using the swimming pool and hot tub, and it was great to have Moonstone Beach just across the road.

A great place to spend a day or two by the beach.

This is a great getaway right across from the beach. The breakfast was a great touch. Delivered to your door. We ate on the lovely patio. Room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the jacuzzi was perfect. We will be back again in March.
