“A great place to stay for a reasonable rate right on Moonstone Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2010

Arrived just before sun set and stayed over night on the dinner package. Overall it was a wonderful experience to be so close the beautiful coast bluffs. Room was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities we needed for our stay with nice comfortable beds, fireplace TV, etc.. The dinner at the Cambria Pines Lodge included a bottle of local wine that was very good with an excellent dinner! Continental breakfast was a nice treat of selected pastries and other goodies. The staff at the Inn were extremely friendly, nice and helpful and made you feel at home. I've signed up to be MVP so the I get email notification for future stays. We hopefully plan another 2 nights stay in February. They are pet friendly too. All of Cambria is truly a delight of a little town, most of all I think the friendliness of the people makes this happen, every where we went people were nice and welcoming. Heast Castle is very close by if you care to take a tour. We just enjoyed walking around the town and had lunch at Lynn's, great place to eat! Town has some very nice antiques shops and book stores.

“Themed Rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2009

Luxury bedding. Very Plush. Your own small garden with seating. We loved staying here. Was even a fire place which we didn't use. Directly across highway from beach. Very comfortable beds w/plush bedding. Comfortable beds are most important!

“Wonderful stay...beautiful views!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2009

Booked 2 nights as part of a package that included dinner at Cambria Pines Lodge. Very friendly and quick check-in. They had already booked our dinner reservations for us. Stayed in a king patio room. Very clean, maybe a little dated, but really enjoyed the fireplace and patio. Wonderful sunset views across the street. Continental breakfast was sufficient and included hard boiled eggs, cereal, bagels, pastries, yogurt, and coffee. Would stay again.

“A hidden jewel on the Central Coast, great.”

Were here in October, off season rates were in effect, great value. The room with fireplace is well above average, clean, and well maintained. The grounds are like a garden at a palace, so well kept up, the ocean is across the road from the room with wooden walking trails for miles. The staff was friendly and able, over 20 cars in the lot at dawn, a good sign. We have stayed here about 10 times ove the last couple years, always a joy.

“Lovely place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2009

We stayed here for one night as part of a month long trip and really wished we had booked to stay longer. Our room was pretty, large, comfortable and clean and we loved the private little garden with table and chairs at the back which was a lovely sunny place to eat our continental breakfast. The coastline here is lovely and to be able to stroll across a quiet road and walk before breakfast, watching the seals and sea otters playing in the surf, is a real bonus. We shall try to stay here again. Had a lovely dinner at the Sows Ear in Cambria, a recommendation from the hotel.
