Comfort Inn near Hearst Castle - Cambria

8/10 Good

"The rooms were bright, clean and airy. The breakfast was a hot breakfast and very good. The rooms were quite large. Front desk staff was very helpful, we had to move to 3 different rooms, key would not open first door. Second room, hairdryer would not work. Third room was fine except coffee maker did not work. The maids should check these things out before people arrive. Hairdryer not working was upsetting as my hair was wet and we were trying to go out. All in all those things happen but we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend Luigis Pizza, huge meatball sandwiches and yummy menu."

"Everything was good and clean. Would have like to have had a microwave in the room, but otherwise everything was good."
