    A view from the hotel front yard towards the ocean across the street
    Deanna P.

    Location, location, location I love that they bring a basket of goodies that they call breakfast in the morning. Both days it was a piece of fruit or two and two slices of warm bread one with banana bread and one was maybe a pumpkin bread. You can also get a warm brownie or a warm cookie at night and the first night they gave us a voucher for two free glasses of wine The rooms are very clean. We had a lovely view in room 15.

    Cambrian Shores Inn has been my home away from home for any Central Coast vacation or long weekend! There are so many things to mention, it's difficult to be succinct. From the Dog friendly surroundings to the gift basket providing a " Welcome Home" collection of treats, snuggle blanket and a throw for the bed so your four-legged companions are made to feel a part of the family. Don't forget fresh backed treats in the morning deliver right to your food every mornings & warm cookies in the afternoon in the stunning open space in the Inns main house with the beautiful Pacific just inches away! Sink into one of the relaxing Adirondack chairs thoughtfully placed around the Inn's property for your relaxation and Ocean and sunset Viewing pleasure. Wine glasses available for those who want to savor bottles of vine-ripened gold from your travels to world famous Vintners (many only a few minutes drive from the Inn). Restaurant row (after row) take your pick: Bbq, raw bar, seafood caught & delivered to the local establishments -- any fresher, you would have to catch it yourself!, steaks, Pizza or Mexican & Margaritas! Shopping destinations around every corner with art & other original pieces all over down town. You won't regret your decision to spend some hard earned R&R in Cambria and at the Cambria Shores Inn.

    I can't say enough about this place! I'm going to keep it short, I want to start off by give recognition to Brandon. He was extremely accommodating, my husband and I showed up a little early; way before our check-in time and Brandon was able to get us into our room. The room was absolutely beautiful, with a stunning view. I loved how the windows opened from both ends, allowing more fresh air into the room. Brandon made the most tasteful mocha latte and the following morning he made a delicious breakfast burrito. Can't say enough about Brandon and this Inn. Highly recommend and definitely worth the money!

    It's such a unique place that many people return every year. The cookies are delicious, the room is clean, and the breakfast delivery is very convenient. We could hear the ocean waves from our room--so amazing! If you like old movies, they have a full deck to rent for free to be played on your room's DVD.

    It was wonderful! We were there November 2024. Best place We have ever stayed when in Cambria. This was a birthday trip for me. From the breakfast baskets in the morning to the wine and food in the evening... The food was wonderful! This place is great.. The rooms are very cozy and clean. They do allow dogs. Moonstone Beach and boardwalk are across the road. The Manager was very personable and the staff very nice and helpful. I can't say enough.. You'll love it! We will be back. Thank you Cambria Shores Inn!

    Such a cute, quiet lovely place to stay. Across from the beach and they bring a cute little basket with breakfast. If you're looking for a small get away, this place is perfect to clear your mind. Really enjoyed my stay.

    Wonderful sunsets

    We love Cambria shore Inn. The people are nice and so dog friendly. The rooms and amenities are very nice. The sunset views from the lawn area and wine bar are awesome.

    Cambria Shores Inn - Room 22, bedroom looking towards door & window
    Stella K.

    I had a lovely stay at Cambria Shores Inn, which is located on Moonstone Beach Drive which runs along the coast. Complimentary wine vouchers at Madeline's on Moonstone were offered when we checked in, which we did not use. There is easy access to the boardwalk for an easy stroll along the coast. The boardwalk is wheelchair accessible and there are benches along the way.The hotel property is well taken care of. I always saw staff tending to the grounds from morning to evening. This is a dog friendly hotel. There was never any dog poop on the grounds ; people cleaned up after their dogs. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. When we checked out, they made a point of telling us that there was no rush to leave the property; they said we could stay and enjoy the outdoor patio area or go take a walk along the boardwalk. I stayed in Room 22 which had a small patio in the back (access through door past the bathroom sink area). Despite not being a private patio, it's still a nice area to let your little dogs enjoy being outside without keeping them leashed. There are chairs on the patio. You can see a tiny bit of the ocean from the patio, however you will have much better views from the common outdoor patio by the parking lot. So getting a patio room is not a must have. The nice thing about Room 22 is that there is a low "wall" in front of the room. This. helps block car headlights from shining into your bedroom window when they park in the space directly outside the room. During our stay, we saw one guest park their vehicle in the "no parking" zone at the left corner of the parking lot, despite it being clearly marked as "no parking". This "no parking" zone is at both left & right corners of the parking lot. This risks getting blocked in when other cars park in the valid parking spots to the left & right of this "no parking" zone. The bedroom had relaxed decor, with a fireplace for ambiance (it did not give off much heat). There is a DVD player in the room. There is a good selection of DVDs in the lobby which you can borrow to watch in your room. The king bed and pillows were comfortable. I loved the overhead reading light which you can adjust. The bathroom sink area has plenty of counter space, plus a microwave & fridge for your convenience. It's also furnished with mugs, cups, plates, utensils, cloth napkins, cutting board, wine opener, and coffee maker. The bathroom is very spacious with a large deep tub and a large shower with rain shower head. I wish there was a way to adjust the water output on the shower head; I would have liked a bit more intensity from the shower head. The bathroom door had a sliding pocket door with no lock; full length mirror is on the pocket door. There is a hook outside each room where they hang a breakfast basket in the morning. The basket contains pastries from a local bakery, string cheese, fruit, and orange juice. There are also plates, utensils and cloth napkins. It's a charming way to start the day. Eat in room or outside if the weather is nice. The contents of our Breakfast Basket were exactly the same on both mornings. In the afternoon, you will find warm oatmeal raisin cookies and warm brownies at the lobby. Coffee & tea are available at the lobby all day. There is wine tasting at Madeline's on Moonstone, directly in front of the lobby; there is a deck facing the ocean where you can enjoy your wine (or take it to the outdoor common patio area in the parking lot). The hotel is close to "downtown" Cambria where you'll find shops and restaurants. It's divided into West Village and East Village, so make sure to stop by both ends of downtown. Parking is easy to find. We had a lovely dinner at Madeline's Restaurant. They offer a 10% discount when you're a hotel guest. Unfortunately, we forgot to mention this to them while we were there. .

    Perfect little cozy hotel in Cambria. My family and I stayed for one night this past summer and it was perfect. Moonstone Beach was directly across the street from us and a minutes walk away~perfect location for the kids/adults to go stone hunting. Its also a short drive away from the elephant seal viewing point. Check in and check out process was super easy--they also have fresh brownies and cookies during certain times (doggie snacks too). All the rooms are on the first floor, so no stair climbing. Parking is directly in front of the rooms. Lawn chairs are also available at the front of the hotel for people who want to watch the sunset. Our room was decently clean, didn't find stay hair or bedbugs. Absolute favorite parts of my stay were the fireplace (sat there cozily most of the night and next morning) and the morning breakfast basket. They also gave us wine vouchers for the restaurant on site...which I didn't use..but it was a nice gesture. We happened to book during the summer rush so one night was ~$450 ish after everything. If you go during slower times, I think the pricing would likely be more reasonable.

    This review is way overdue. Hubby and I visited Cambria last December for the Christmas Market, and stayed here for two nights. We loved everything about our stay with a room with a view of the ocean, and beautiful property. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Complimentary wine on their wine deck was a nice surprise! We enjoyed our drinks while watching the sunset the first evening. The next morning we woke up to a basket hanging outside of our door with breakfast! We booked our stay here for next month to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary! I can't wait!

    We really enjoyed our stay here at this cozy hotel right across the street from the beach. The people were endlessly friendly and accommodating. Tea and coffee was available in the office pretty much all day. The room was clean and recently renovated with a nice array of small touches, like a soft closing toilet seat, a fireplace, and double window shades on most windows. There was a coffee maker, fridge, and microwave in the room, as well as a small assortment of dishware. A breakfast basket was delivered in the morning with juice, fruit, and delicious pastries. We would be happy to stay here next time we visit Cambria.

    Love this little inn! What a special place to spend our anniversary and Valentine's Day. We loved it so much we extended our stay. The rooms are very well insulated and quiet and all have a beach view. We didn't hear a thing from the other rooms or any road noise which is an issue with the other hotels on Moonstone Beach. The staff were friendly, smiling and Scott was always happy and had a twinkle in his eye and was ready to help. We were offered free wine coupons upon check in at Madeline's wine bar which is attached to the hotel. Free coffee, cookies and brownies were a welcome treat! The inn is very dog friendly and we enjoyed seeing all the well-behaved dogs. Many couples we spoke to had been coming back for 15-20 years and we can see why. We will be back next year!

    See all

A call to the night manager Friday night did nothing to stop it. But at the same time, it's not as if they were partying or shouting. They were simply walking around, and I was unlucky enough to be in the room below them in a place that clearly wasn't built to be a hotel. I've stayed in countless hotels with people above me, and this is the first time in my life that I've paid them any mind or had the urge to report a noise complaint. Which again...they were just walking, which they technically have a right to do, despite how annoying it was to me at the time. The room was a bit overpriced to begin with, so this only made me regret that much more. Two stars instead of one since the property was still nice with a prime location. But if you have your heart set on this place, book a room on the second floor. Other reviews show that I'm not the first person to have this issue.

I called multiple times over two days to confirm we were bringing our dog and never got an answer. you do have to leave a voicemail and they will return call. There is no AC unit, which may be an issue for some guests. especially for hotter days and the room does not have cross wind/circulating windows, Also, the booking photos show a sliding glass door to the beach (Hotel.com needs to update photos), but the hotel is actually across the street. Our window faced the water, but it's not a direct walk-out beach property. Now for the positives, the staff (all of them) were amazing. The rooms are bungalow-style and very clean and spacious. The hotel is pet-friendly $100 fee, and check-in/check-out was easy. The check-in area feels cozy and homey, with couches, chairs, books, and games available. They offer beer, wine, adult beverages (Adult options for your coffee), plus a kitchen and outdoor fireplace sitting area. The hotel is directly across the street from the beach, about a 2-min walk to the water. The room was large and well-stocked with a mini fridge (fees may apply), huge comforters, bathrobes, slippers, a fan, fireplace, shower supplies such as body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, and a sitting chair. There are many additional amenities available for a fee in the room and in their lobby area. In the morning, they deliver a basket with pastries croissants, cinnamon rolls, coffee, orange juice, and champagne, a really nice touch. They also have bikes you can use and go bike riding, corn hole games, picnic benches, There's also an ice maker on-site. Parking spaces are small, so be cautious if you have a lifted truck or wide rims. The area itself is very nice. The hotels along the coastline are set up similarly, facing north and south, so most have somewhat obstructed or no ocean views or direct walk-on beach access. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place, Hotel cost wasn't too bad but remember all the hotels in this area do not have walk out beach rooms. Area is very quiet, relaxing, and peaceful, and EVERYONE is pet friendly even with a pitbull breed. Our kids had a blast in the ocean and were able to play board games eat ice cream and enjoy the scenery. there are several benches along the walk path in case you need to sit down and relax. There is small community town about 15min tops. several restaurants and shopping. old town style, very homey. so, if you're looking for a disconnect type of vacation, no party scene, just want peaceful and relaxation, this is the place. I will attach pictures and I do apologize because these were at the end of the trip and not when we first arrived. so, excuse the beds. The hotel was very clean and have hardwood floors.

I don't think any of it was malicious -- but the pattern of repeated errors on a single reservation suggests a real problem with how this property handles folios. If you stay here, screenshot your rate confirmation, check your statement daily, and keep every receipt. I booked this hotel specifically because it's part of the Hyatt collection and I wanted to stay loyal to the brand. For a stay that ran over $1,600, "relaxing" isn't the word I'd use. I spent more time on billing correspondence than I did enjoying the coast.
