Great inn. The rooms are very well equiped, clean and well designed. The staff is very kind. The breakfast was good and had good variety of food. The location is excellent - on road no.1, near the sea. The town has at least one very good restaurant for dinner.

My wife and I stayed at this property and thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay. From the wonderful service from Michael at reception to all of the other staff we were treated extremely well. Enjoyed the wine and cheese reception in the afternoon and the excellent breakfast the next morning. The hot tub was relaxing and our ocean view... More

My husband and I went past this super nice Inn in Cambria. We were only staying one night on our way to San Francisco, what a pleasent surprise! We booked the most affordable room and we still had a ocean view to watch the sunset, fireplace in the room as well. The bed was comfy and large. The Inn is... More

Just loved this cute property, adjacent to the zig-zagging boardwalk overlooking the Pacific. Manager Charlie Yates was an engaging host, and delighted us in his many tales about the history of Cambria and its many charms. We stayed in one of their family suites, which easily sleeps six people. Two fireplaces greeted us, one in the living room, and the... More

I originally booked a reservation for this property through a travel site. When I found a more economical rate on the property's website, I booked a reservation there. The reservation agent provided me with a confirmation number, and advised me to cancel the reservation I made through the travel site. When I arrived at the hotel after a four-hour drive,... More

This property was wonderful. We had a beautiful room and the staff, especially Michael, were fabulous! There was a great wine and cheese reception in the early evening which was a bonus and the morning breakfast was quite nice. We took advantage of the hot tub which was very nice (thanks Michael for suggesting we do so). Really, the whole... More

Whilst the town doesn't have enough to offer for more than a short stay, it is a good mid trip stopover between LA and San Francisco. Hearst Castle is only 10 minutes away. We chose it from the other "Inns" on the Cambrai waterfront as offering an elevated room overlooking the seafront and because it looked well maintained and attractive.... More

We spent two nights at this Inn. I had booked well in advanced to make sure I get the room I wanted, but things still got mixed up. I did bring it up on check in and again on check out and they did give me a discount on the end. I am not sure if all or any rooms... More

When we first checked in I was a bit nervous...Cambria is definitely a touristy beach town nd the hotels along the beach reflect that. I wish the town had more charm. Not the hotels fault at all. We had a family suite which was a good roomy space well priced. Breakfast was nice as was wine and cheese hour (quite... More
