    outdoor area for eating or working

    Room was a modest size but very clean and comfortable. plush bedding was very nice and the lobby/ breakfast area with the best ocean view was so very nice. breakfast items that came with your reservation was top of the line. Big thumbs up for this motel.

    Deluxe King Room

    I recently spent a week in Cambria Ca. at the Cambria Beach Lodge. I really enjoyed my stay. First of all, Moonstone Beach is gorgeous so my daily walks were just fantastic. The boardwalk along the beach is truly something. Watching the crashing waves as you walk along the boardwalk is genuinely soul calming. Second, Cambria Beach Lodge is a stones throw from the boardwalk. The lobby is adorable and perfect if you want to sit and watch the waves, play games, read or enjoy the fireplace. In the morning, there is coffee, boiled eggs, pastries, oatmeal and bananas. They don't vary the breakfast so if you want variety, might need to hit a restaurant in town. Third thing to note, the rooms are relatively small. I stayed in the deluxe king and it was perfect for 1-2. The room was cute and clean but I wouldn't have minded a small fridge and a microwave. Also, a small table would have been nice; I like to sit at a table and eat or read when I am staying at a hotel/inn. Finally, the price was reasonable considering the lodge sits across from the ocean. I stayed in May so it was cheaper, I think. Next time I visit Moonstone, I would probably consider this lodge again.

    Breakfast hard boiled eggs

    Resort-style hospitality meets cool modern surf style shack. The level of attention to detail this little boutique hotel offered, just absolutely tickled me. It felt honest, carefully curated, clean and lightly elevated--I felt like I was I guest in someone's home, a B.B. feel. Come for the free bicycles, the quaint little breakfast w/ local pastries--fresh squeezed orange juice--speciality oatmeal, Unwind on the comfy mattress, put on the fireplace, and treat yourself to their decadent smelling soaps/shampoos that put you in spa mode. Kombucha at check-in, curated snack bar & wine options in the room, It's clean, the staff is refreshingly & genuinely kind, beautiful moonstone beach is steps away.. honestly what more could you want? nothing is the answer. A spontaneous trip sometimes means spontaneous stays, it was either drive home 4 hours in the dark of night or see if the hotel next door to our oyster dinner has availability. Consider us lucky the best hotel on the row was the one we happened to walk up to. Ruth effortlessly inspired us to stay because of her simple kindness & going the extra mile to show us what this hotel offered. Other hotel options we looked at didn't hold a candle. Saying I'm eager to come back soon is an understatement!

    Breakfast offering - pastries, fruit, oatmeal, coffee, tea, OJ, hard boiled eggs + oat milk, almond milk, and half and half.

    Adorable beach hotel that feels newly renovated. I loved the location - waking up and crossing the street to the surf was fantastic. I also thought the beds were comfy and the rooms were clean. We had a fireplace in our room and were very warm - gets cold at night even in summer. For $12a night, you get a light continental breakfast, parking, WiFi and beach bikes. I loved the light breakfast because it had high quality breakfast products and nondairy creamers for coffee. The beach bikes were SO fun to scoot around town. I wish that they had a rack to store surf boards or a place to rinse off sand. They're newly (?) associated with Hyatt but they don't recognize or offer the typical status benefits like room upgrades or 2pm last check out (Bummer!).

    Great little lobby lounge.

    A great option on moonstone beach. One of the most contemporary places to stay in the area. Well managed and maintained. Two EV chargers $2 hour. Some rooms have fireplaces

    Lovely. Saw a Breathtaking sunset on the sky deck. We all clapped when the sun went down because it was so beautiful. Super dog friendly. I love dogs. Room was SUPER clean and we LOVE THAT! The front desk was great, helpful regarding this charming community and gave us a pamphlet. The GM was so helpful as well, as the night front desk lady. Great customer service. Will be coming back when I am in the central coast.

    The location is so ideal. You're right across the road from moonstone beach and it is gorgeous!!! I would stay here again in the winter time, as the rooms do not have ac and coming in during summer after hiking and exploring made my stay a bit uncomfortable forsure. There was a small personal fan but omg I was dying and ended up just going back out to cool off. It was quiet and I slept well, rooms are contemporary and nice but there is an odd stale smell. The shower also was odd and water got all over the floor as there is only one glass slide. Our door seemed to be jammed as we would try to enter our room each time. Also beware of the parking, very tight. Overall I would recommend for a quick stay or getaway for 1 or 2 ppl.

    This is by far the best place we've ever stayed at on Moonstone Beach - if you're planning a trip to Cambria, this is where you want to be! Completely remodeled the rooms and bathrooms have a chic beach cottage vibe. There is also a sky deck with ocean views & chill music where we enjoyed our al fresco dinner and watched the sunset. We used the complimentary bikes daily to bike along Moonstone drive- so awesome!! The room comes with a nice complimentary breakfast of fresh breakfast loaves (pumpkin walnut & lemon ginger), bananas, oranges, oatmeal in their gorgeous ocean view lobby. The service is great and I am so hooked on this place- so happy there's a great place to stay now on Moonstone Beach. I will be a regular.

Love that it's one story. Inside coffee, and mornings specialty coffee and food to order . You do though get a free basket every morning with fresh orange juice and pastries with fruit and cheese.

What a waste of our precious time. That we were being charged for. 2. Nice big wall mounted tv. Spectrum system. It worked but once You found the guide, You could not select a show to watch. You had to go channel by channel and hope to find it out of many channels. By the way, the remote they gave You wasn't a Spectrum remote? We even went to the office for help. They couldn't make it work. I wasn't here to watch TV of course but When it's dark, breezy and in the 50ies outside a nice sitcom before bed is sometimes nice. 3. This morning we went to get a cup of coffee at 8:05am. Coffee is supposed to be available @ 7am. Not open. 5 other guests were waiting patiently. Could we ask the office? No it wasn't open either. It finally opened at 8:10am. 4. Oh by the way, bring your sunglasses for Your room. The only lighting is spot lights in the ceiling. Nothing you can control from bed side. Were there any dimmers to adjust the lighting down from solar flare to reasonable. Nope. Just the palm of my hand or sunglasses. Again By the way, the Cambria area is awesome with some great wholesome dining experiences. Linn's and Robin's. Wow! We've stayed along Moonstone over the years. Just never @ the Cambria Shores Inn. Guess what? Never again because there are lots of choices along Moonstone. I'd like to rate it a 1 star. But, Mother Nature helped take the feeling of total disappointment away. Every time We strolled down the Moonstone board walk across the street it melted Our disappointment away. For a while. What a beautiful Ocean front.

LOVE the Aesop products in the room!!! a few downside during my stay were: the few times i went to the front desk, the "out of office" sign was up each time. i wanted to rent a bike to bike around the town, no one was around to assist. i waited about 10-15m each time. they have a fire pit that was on the entire time. i heard they provide s'more kits, but we were not provided with any. there isnt really any pet relief area on site. also, all units do not have AC, only fans. i had no service while i was there. i literally was on SOS. i actually loved it. don't worry, there is wifi avail! i would def book white water again!

    For $350+ a night, I expected a little more. The room looked…read moredecent enough at first, but the strong musty smell and stained carpet quickly changed that impression. We were also tucked way in the back in a dark corner of the property, which wasn't exactly inviting. Then the little things started adding up. The shower curtain rod was pulling out of the wall, the wallpaper around the shower was loose from moisture, and the ice bucket still had trash from the previous guest in it. At that point, it starts to feel less like an older coastal hotel and more like nobody is really checking the rooms. The pool was half empty with green water sitting at the bottom. Maybe it was under repair, but it definitely wasn't usable. Housekeeping is another strange setup. If you want your room cleaned, you have to request it the day before, and then repeat that request every day. You can't just ask for service for your whole stay. At check-in we were told they used to offer complimentary breakfast, but the new company stopped. The alternative was to walk down the street to another hotel and pay about $20. The next morning my wife went for hot water for tea and they were out. The suggestion was to use the coffee maker in the room. That works, I suppose, if you like your tea with a little coffee flavor. The guy at the front desk wasn't rude, but his attitude was very much, "it is what it is." And to be fair, I've stayed in worse places. The difference is, those places usually charged a lot less. For $350+ a night, FogCatcher is asking you to overlook quite a bit.
