    This is our second time to stay in this place. It is a quaint serene place to stay for the family. Love the country and cottage style of the rooms with lots of lush trees plants and flowers. We enjoyed the dining, restaurants, bar , salon and live music inside. The room is pretty decent but I recommend the TV to be hang on the wall so it's not bulky and the carpet to be clean. A little sticky . Overall I love the place It is only 5 mins away from moonstone beach. The staff are really nice . I would stay again .

    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!!!!

    Location Is quietly hidden by the Pine Trees of Cambria. It's a minute drive from downtown Cambria and minutes from Moonstone Beach & the beautiful Hearst Castle. Check In was easy; luckily I booked a room right across from Lounge/Restaurant. Parking easy. I paid for breakfast to be included In our stay and wish I would have not done that. The breakfast was a little disappointing but did the job. The room was very cute, a little stuffy but we didn't stay In the room much. I would recommend new mattresses as the springs would pop when you sat or laid down on the bed. If you do stay here opt for the top floor or maybe you'll get lucky and not have to adjust to the people above you for us they sounded like they were bowling. The lounge does offer the restaurant menu and I recommend that over breakfast. We visited the lounge on a Saturday night and it got a little busy, the one man band was nice. We had their Kale Salad & bruschetta with some margaritas. The margaritas were not balanced well with the mix and tequila. Food/appetizer were good which is why the breakfast buffet was a disappointment.

    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!

Had a room with a king bed and fireplace. It was so cute and cozy. I will say all of these places down here are Basically boutique motels so some of the things, like the shower drain and door, and window sills could be newer, but everything was clean and cute! The theming is even better in person and the grounds are soo nice. We walked around the other hotels in the area and this one is by far the best in terms of the grounds! If you have a dog, this is the place!!! We can't wait to come back! The Cow Tipper was good for breakfast too, dog friendly once again! We loved the trails right across the street! In terms of being close to the water and cliffs you really can't beat the location on this! Just a couple smalls things to note: The fireplaces outside don't get too hot outside so pack blankets if you plan to hang out! Still fun and cozy! Cambria is way colder than you think it will be!! The bed in our room didn't have a red comforter on it, and my parents room did, I thought it was because we had a dog as a guest but after leaving I see pictures of comforters and dogs in the rooms so I'm not really sure why we didn't get one? When we got there, there was blood stains on the white sheets (just looked stained not fresh blood/dirty) and the girl on the phone was really weird about getting us new sheets and kept saying it's rust not blood but she never even came up to see it...either way housekeeping staff came by a couple minutes later and were very helpful and apologetic unlike her! The morning staff, a young man was very helpful! Someone keeps smoking weed by the fires and he handled it was such haste! It was refreshing! Thank you everyone! We will be back!

    We've been going to OPRanch multiple times a year for many years. We were married there years back…read moreand enjoy the nostalgia. However, things have been going downhill drastically the past few years. We believe it's the turn of staffing. There appears to be a lack of pride and "maturity" in customer service & standards. We just returned from our second trip of the year last night. This review reflects this trip, but the previous one was as bad. The rodeo suite (the bridal suite that costs a good amount of money) has multiple issues. The bathroom sink is clogged and doesn't drain. The shower door doesn't close. The bathroom door isn't secure. The workers for the hotel grounds were behind us BY THE WINDOW while we showered. BLOOD and holes on the sheets. The kitchen was filthy - the stovetop, top of refrigerator, interior and exterior of cabinets are covered with grime. Curtains in the kitchen and living area are torn and broken. No wine glasses provided in the suite and the staff wouldn't provide any, yet the restaurant has them. (Seems odd in a bridal suite) This suite and other rooms we've stayed in have ants. Mikey & Angel are extremely rude and dismissive - not only our experience, but other patrons that gathered & compared stories. Last visit we received a refund for issues, but this visit we didn't bother discussing these concerns, as the staff was so rude to patrons it seemed they wouldn't care about standards. (Mikey needs to be taught to turn and look at customers when they are checking in, rather than dismiss them as though they are not worth his time) The one moment worth a high-five was provided by Bree. Thank you Bree for dragging a bench to our suite so our dog could access the high bed! :) We hope that corporate considers our honest review and those by others to improve the hotel. For the price we are willing to pay we have expectations of a more elevated experience as we have had in years past. Attached are photos of the the blood on the sheets, dirty kitchen, torn curtains, clogged sink, etc....

Be warned, if you go down... you have to climb the stairs back up. LOL. We walked from the hotel on the beach to the Pismo Beach Pier. Leisurely walk was nice but the climb up the stairs can be challenging. LOL. The room was clean and had a small fridge and all the amenities including a kuerig coffee maker. The hotel complimentary breakfast starts at 7am. Eggs, sausage, bagels, waffle and toast. Enough to get your day started. The property is dog friendly and lots of guests have dogs on a leash walking around. The summer we went, there are families with kids. Fun times for all. Our deluxe room comes with a $10 free drink each nice. Also, can't forget the cookies at 3pm. I would return to SeaCrest Ocean Front Hotel.

However, during this recent visit, we did not feel welcomed. When my wife and I approached the front desk for check‑in, the older female employee working the reception (possibly named Debbie or starting with a "D") told us she had not called us yet, even though it was clearly our turn in line. I apologized and stepped back, and only a few seconds later she did not greet us instead up front asked if we had a reservation. From the beginning, her demeanor toward us felt unfriendly and dismissive. We had booked an Ocean View King with a patio, but we were assigned a fourth‑floor room on the east wing of the hotel with only a partial ocean view and a strong smell of urine. it turns out this area of the building are pet friendly. We returned to the front desk, waited again, and when she called us over with "What's up," I explained the issue. She was quiet for a moment, then reassigned us to the main building second‑floor room above the reception area and informed us that no patio rooms were available. Her behavior throughout the check‑in process was discouraging and made us feel unwelcome, which was disappointing--especially considering we spent over $850 for a two‑night stay. However, a part from this staff issue, Seacrest is a great place to stay, the complementary breakfast is great! but yes that one staff was not the greatest...

Really enjoyed the complimentary wine with ocean view and one of my biggest reasons for booking it was due to they accept dogs, which says a lot about an establishment. That being said, there are areas for improvement. When I checked into my room, I noticed that the the dark blinds were stuck so I went to the office to see if they could help. The manager came to my room; tried to lower them and agreed they were stuck. She said she would ask the maintenance person to fix it. A day went by and nobody came by. I was awoken to a bright room early in the morning so my sleep was cut short. I went back the office and the same manager welcomed me with "yeah, what's up"? I highlighted that nobody came by to fix it and she seemed pretty indifferent but said she would request it again. Needless to say, nobody showed up to fix it during my whole stay so I was greeted with shortened sleep thanks to the bright room in the mornings. While I was checking out, I highlighted this to the new manager and she laughed it off, saying that's why she brings blindfolds when she travels. No discount offer or anything. Furthermore, their door key cards are the most sensitive I have ever encountered. I had to have them reprogrammed 3 times during my stay. Also, the owner apparently requested that they close the wine tasting early due to rain so, when I showed up to use my complimentary wine vouchers, I found it closed over an hour earlier than their posted closing time but the server did provide me with the complimentary wine since I was a guest but they were no longer offering food so no marinated olives and nuts to go with it. That being said, the Inn does have a great location; is a value and I love that it is dog-friendly but they do need to work on their customer service. Oh and some more Vegan options and recycling/compost bins would certainly help.
