Front entrance to the lodge
Diane W.

We came to Cambria for a one night stay at the pines lodge. We purchased the Pines Lodge Christmas package. You get one night stay at the Pines Lodge and access to the Cambria Christmas Market, one parking spot on property and breakfast the next day. Our stay included access to the full market including light displays, vendor booths and food booths. The Lodge is located in Cambria. The Christmas market and lodge are located on the same property. The rooms at the lodge are like cottages with very modern amenities. The inside is very nice. We stayed in a King large suite. We had two fireplaces, a mini fridge and a microwave. Our room was right next to one of the entrances of the Christmas market. We were just a few feet away from it, which was so convenient. We also had a balcony that looked over the Christmas market light displays. There was parking all over the property. We were able to find one right by our room. Breakfast was also included. It was a buffet style breakfast that was good. Our room was lovely and very clean. It's very quaint and cozy. My only complaint was the bed. It was extremely uncomfortable. I didn't sleep at all because of it. It seemed old and overused. There were imprints of where one would lay down, beach side of the bed. So when you lay down on it, you sink into a whole. It was awful. They need to replace that. If you have a sensitive back, the bed will be a problem for you. The check in and check out process was flawless. I did the pre check in and check out online. I highly recommend that. We were given a parking pass, breakfast pass and bracelets for entry into the Christmas market. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would love to return to the Christmas market next year but may opt to stay somewhere else because of the uncomfortable bed. Hopefully they will update their beds in the near future.

Black Mold above shower

This property was a place my family visited about 10 years ago, and we enjoyed it so much that we've always hoped to return. Unfortunately, our recent stay was a very different experience. Major mold problem in room 815 Stay: May 1st-3rd, 2026. On the final morning of our stay, we discovered what appeared to be black mold above the shower. Because my parents are immunocompromised, we immediately packed up and left. We reported the issue to the front desk at checkout, and the staff member said he would inform management. As of Monday at 1:26 p.m., we have not received any follow-up. Overall, the property has significantly declined and is in need of major updates. The handrails leading to the building were broken and unstable. The furniture is very outdated, and the beds were extremely firm and uncomfortable compared to what we remembered. Several features required maintenance fireplaces were difficult to operate, our front door would not close properly, and our key cards stopped working after the first day, leaving us with only one functioning key despite following all handling instructions. The restaurant experience was inconsistent. Friday night was excellent, but on Saturday there appeared to be a change in chef and bartender, and the food preparation differed noticeably from the menu (for example, the mushrooms). Service, however, was good on both nights. Due to the serious health concern of discovering mold in our room, the lack of follow-up from management after reporting it, and the overall decline in the property's condition and maintenance, we do not feel comfortable returning. Issues with safety, such as broken handrails and a door that would not properly close, along with inconsistent amenities and service, made this stay far below our expectations. What was once a place we loved and looked forward to revisiting no longer meets a standard we can trust, especially when traveling with vulnerable family members.

This property is one of our favorite spots in Cambria Ca. to stay. The location is picturesque and the grounds are kept absolutely beautiful. The units have recently been repainted on the exterior. The restaurant is located off the main lobby area as well as a lounge. Food service is absolutely phenomenal. The courtyard area is beautiful. You can dine there as well. Just a beautiful place to relax and enjoy your meal. There is a swimming pool on this property and so many things to do within walking distance. The only problem was that our shower and sink had drainage issues that needed attention. We were left standing in water while showering. The interior of the units need TLC to include updating in all areas of the unit we were in. Cob webs greeted us at the entry door they had to be swipe away before opening the door. Stair wells also had cob webs which could have been easily removed by maintenance or house keeping. I still feel it's 5 stars because of staff , location , property, and the beauty of the grounds.

Was at a wedding here. So beautiful. All staff, super amazing except one lady at check in that seemed to hate being there. The venue was perfect. Great food and drink. Rooms $$$$$ but quiet and wonderfully appointed. Quiet. With a view. I'd go back. In forest just miles from the beach. Moonstone... Just serenity here with a beautiful pool, gardens... Live music nightly!!!!

Gardens everywhere

I cannot say enough good things about the lodging here...there's so much to do and included, basically everything you need to have a great, relaxing time. Gorgeous grounds, spacious pool, spa, trail to town, and beautiful wildlife, we saw deer during our stay here, it was a magical experience! The restaurant is delicious, we got the steaks for dinner and they were surprisingly perfect. You know how it typically goes, hiked up prices ufor mediocre food for convenience. Not here, everything seems carefully curated to provide the ultimate experience!

I visited here stayed 2 nights the Christmas extravaganza here is absolutely amazing with glittering lights galore! I truly appreciated all the hard work to create this Christmas light amazing huge display of fabulousness! We strolled around for hours then the dining & bar area had live music, it was such a delightful holiday time with my son! The cottages are amazing here with a feel of true comfort with the fire place warmth! I plan to return this December with family!

King spa suite #519
Debra R.

One of our go-to places to stay on the central coast. Our latest stay was in a king suite spa tub room, with two fireplaces, two tvs, micro, fridge, full couch, lovely wooden furnishings which was reasonably priced in February. Grounds are lovely, especially their gardens behind the lobby/lounge. We have stayed here several times in an upstairs unit with a view out over the valley.Their Christmas lights are a must, but book early. Restaurant is great, the lounge has a happy hour and live music. You can walk down the hill to town, and its a great spot to stay if touring Hearst castle, or checking out the elephant seals ten minutes up the coast.

This was my first time staying here and it did not disappoint. The grounds are so pretty and lush. I was here for a wedding and it was very memorable. The complimentary breakfast is from 7:30a - 10:30a and offers a nice selection. The rooms are comfortable and have a fridge, microwave and the ability to make some coffee. The lodge sends pleasant text messages and many of the features can be done electronically (including check out). Check in is after 3p and check out is before 11a.

Wow! This was the best place to bring our pupper! It had a little patio, perfect for him to go out on to. The room was large and roomy. We had a small incident with the fireplace (person before us left the pilot on) so our room was super hot. We just rang the front desk and within 10 minutes the service guy was there with a fan in hand and was able to determine the pilot was left on and took care of it for us! The grounds are lovely! There is a staircase which leads to downtown. Be prepared, it's got 257 steps, definitely not for the out of shape. We loved taking walks, with our pup, on the trail around the property. I can't forget the food! If you book directly through the property you get to enjoy the breakfast buffet at the restaurant. This isn't just a continental brekkie, it's a full on breakfast! Eggs, sausage, French toast, sautéed veggies, and oatmeal. It was all delicious! Just a heads up - if you have a dog you need to make reservations to stay via phone, because not all of the rooms are dog friendly. They are super helpful over the phone, shout out to Leona, and will get you the room you need! We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay and all the front desk employees were extremely polite, helpful and accommodating. The room was very clean. The fireplace is easy to use and extremely effective. However, I would like to make a few suggestions on how to improve the experience of staying at Moonstone Landing for all your guests: First, please provide your guests with 3-ply, SOFT toilet paper. The cheap, one-ply toilet paper this hotel uses was horrible to use. If you're asking guests to pay premium prices for these rooms then at least provide them with decent toilet paper. Second, please consider investing in NEW, comfortable outdoor patio chairs with accompanying foot rests. The chairs you have now feel cheap and uncomfortable. Third, I would jazz up the "average" continental breakfast. It's the one thing hungry guests look forward to every morning and the pastries provided leave one underwhelmed and still hungry. Linn's cheese danish pastries are delicious but the other two muffins were "meh". The boiled eggs are fine. I think adding a variety of cereals would be appreciated. Maybe provide granola bars? Fourth, I know renovations are costly. But at some point you'll have to redo the stone flooring in all the bathrooms as the long cracks in the stone initially make a bad impression. Again, we enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this hotel. As a long-time patron, I'm offering my insights in the hopes you'll make the necessary changes to stay competitive and continue to draw in new guests.

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!

We have a Keurig machine and complimentary cookies and water bottles. There is no central air but a ceiling fan to cool off the room. There is a faux decorative fireplace to warm up the room and to make it a bit romantic if you are staying with your significant other. Bathroom has a shower and is pretty good in size just like the room. There is a complimentary breakfast each morning and you can order one meal from the selections. Anything extra is an additional $5. Food is good and service is quick. If you are here for a couple days or just spending the night, this is the place to. Be. You are conveniently across the street from the beautiful ocean and there are some cool and popular restaurants a few doors down like the Sea Chest. Plus, it doesn't feel like one of those big chain hotels and feels like a home away from home. Happy staying!

We booked three rooms (8, 19, and 21). All were decent in size, though lighting varied. Room 8 was the darkest, while Room 19 had the brightest natural light. Most rooms include a fireplace, except Room 21. There is no in-room coffee maker, but complimentary coffee and a light breakfast are provided daily in the lobby.

There are complimentary beach bicycles for guests but you have to sign a waiver. We went for an early morning ride along Moonstone Beach Dr. It was fantastic!! At $178 per night including taxes and fees, this is hands down one of the best values if you want to stay right by Moonstone Beach. We would absolutely stay here again. Happy Travels!
