“This creekside inn struck me as a particularly good choice in Cambria, emphasizing accessibility and a relaxed atmosphere. I noticed its proximity to Hearst Castle and the draw of its manicured gardens, a peaceful contrast to the bustle of the nearby shops. It seems a solid pick for travelers wanting a calming base from which to explore the central coast.”
