I chose this place mostly because it was a Groupon deal. The Groupon ad listed the rooms at a great nightly rate. Of course, by the time I was done booking it came to $30.00 more plus tax per night than the originally quoted rate on the deal. I was a bit taken aback when we arrived to find a... More

Thank you for staying with us and we are glad you were able to take advantage of our Groupon special we had. We recognize the challenge we have with the outlets throughout the room and have done everything possible to install additional ones. We hope that you will visit us again on your next trip to Cambria. More

This was a Groupon deal and we paid a very low price. The motel is very clean, staff was excellent and so friendly. That said the motel is very dated. It was cold even with the small wall heater. The bathroom had a window that was frosted and uncovered so it was quite uncomfortable doing business. Would we stay there... More

We had a roof over our head for $150 on a Saturday. In contrast, we stayed in a 5 star hotel in the heart of San Francisco for $170 the night before. The upside is, if you have your kids staying in a room next to you, you can hear what they are up to. It's your average motel...just way... More

This is a very good little motel...minimalist, but nice. Pergo flooring, real rattan chairs with leather cushions, mid-century desk, bathroom nicely tiled. Only clinker was the old sink vanity that was peeling a bit and had old bobby pins inside, which was a little yucky. Otherwise everything was very clean and in good shape. We were there for just one... More

Cambria Palms is at the end of Main St. on the west side of town heading out into the country, so you may hear owls hooting or see deer crossing the road if you take an evening stroll. We stayed several weeks in a nice unit at the back that has a kitchen and sliding doors which open to a... More

Stayed here for one night in September. This was an overnight stay for visiting Hearst Castle. Cambria itself is a lovely town and the sunset on Moonstone Beach is not to be missed. We stayed in the rooms next to the firepit. The room looked like it had been recently modernised. It was clean & tidy. I would recommend this... More
