Top Central Coast California Hotel Reviews

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

8/10 Good
"Clean hotel. Amazing ocean view from the hotel. We stayed in an ocean view room and had an amazing view of the waters. The waves crashing on the shores would have been peaceful and relaxing if it wasn't for the adjacent highway, which was a bit noisy. Our bathroom was a unclean as well. We found strands of hair in the shower floor and on the bathroom wall next to the sink."
