Of all my travels lately, this room was the most considerate of accommodations. Every little detail to make the guest feel comfortable has been provided for. Whoever did the room as far as design convenience is to be applauded. Well done!

Exceeded My Expectations! I booked this last minute because my friends were staying at the property next door, which had sold out—so I ended up here, and I’m so glad I did! This property blew the other one out of the water. Every room had at least a partial ocean view (except maybe the back corner ones), and the grounds were spacious and well-kept with grassy areas and lounge chairs—perfect for relaxing with your pup. They even provided dog towels, bowls, and other thoughtful pet amenities. A microwave in the room made it super convenient for both me and my four-legged travel buddy. The staff were genuinely kind, sweet, and helpful. I loved the cozy coffee bar, wine bar, and especially the breakfast basket delivered to my door each morning—a delightful touch. Honestly, I was blown away by my stay. The photos online don’t do this place justice. Highly recommend!

✨ Cambria Shores Inn – A Cozy Getaway with Canine Charm Our stay at Cambria Shores Inn was wonderful from check-in to check-out. The staff was friendly, and the whole experience felt relaxing and welcoming. The biggest highlight? It’s incredibly dog-friendly—a huge plus for pet lovers looking to travel with their furry companions. 🐶 Our room was spotlessly clean and had a cozy coastal vibe that made it easy to unwind. While the mattress showed signs of wear and could use an upgrade, the bedding was soft and inviting—we still slept great and woke up refreshed. A special basket was left at our door in the morning for breakfast with pastries, fruit and juice. What a wonderful treat. Overall, it was a lovely stay with a laid-back charm that left us looking forward to our next visit.

To say this is a beautiful place to stay is a complete understatement. The staff was extremely friendly. Our three dogs were in heaven. And being able to relax and enjoy the sunset after a long day was very rewarding! We will most definitely be staying here again!

Relaxing!

It was a wonderful experience. The hotel is located right on the beach with wonderful views. Cambria is aa delightful small town on the central coast. There were great places to eat and shop in the quaint town. Great place to relax and enjoy the ocean air.

Serviceable motel. Certainly not worth the ridiculous price. Of course the location is excellent, being in right in front of Moonstone beach, but all I could see from our “partial view” room was the parking lot! Not much privacy either since, as mentioned above, it’s a converted motel. The one good thing about the room was the bathroom, with separate shower and bathtub. As for breakfast… packet of OJ, two sweet muffin -like things, a banana and an apple. … oh and a stick of pre-packaged string cheese. Not horrible but far from very good, as some reviewers here have suggested.
