My uncle and I were looking forward to our road trip up Highway 1 and an overnight at the El Colibri Hotel. Due to a medical emergency, we had to curtail the trip. I called and sent a follow-up email to cancel. The hotel gave no response. None. Zip. Just charged us full pop. An overall miserable experience.

We have been going to Cambria for weekend holidays for nearly twenty years. Over the last several years we've been anxiously awaiting the opening of the Colibri, as we've seen it being built year by year. This month we finally got a chance to book a room, and sadly we were unimpressed. I don't want to say anything to dissuade... More

We booked this hotel because it was located close to Highway 1 and we needed a hotel close to Hearst castle which we were visiting the following day. The quality of the hotel was outstanding and the staff were very helpful on our arrival. The hotel has a underground car park with enough spaces for all the guests. We booked... More

Requested and guaranteed private room due to business travel last summer. Was actually booked the worst room next to lobby area. Staff was inconsiderate and extremely noisy in the lobby. No sleep first night, asked to be relocated and denied for second night, so requested consideration due to early business meetings. Was awoken all night, and not aware of the... More

I find it a little nerve wracking to book smaller, non chain hotels online. Not that I havent had bad experiences with chain hotels but you have a some level of comfort knowing that certain standards are LIKELY to be met. I couldnt have made a better choice of hotels by booking El Colibri. We wished we had more time... More

They also have a parking garage which was nice so we didnt have to put our Jeep top on. This was a great stop in our travels down 1. I would definitely... More

It was everything we expected. The king suite was very specious with a very comfortable sitting area. The continental breakfast was very nice. We found the staff very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

I got a good deal on a two-night stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff were very accommodating...we didn't like the room they gave us and switched it and they let us take a look at a couple of rooms before we decided on which room we wanted...who does that! The hotel is the first of many and away... More

This was our second visit, first time I thought it the best hotel of our trip and I was concerned that second time would be an anti-climax. I need not have worried it still wove the same magic. So what was so great, well Cambria for a start, it has a nice laid-back feel and the locals are welcoming. The... More
