    Since obviously that one star rating review, one below mine didn't have enough gumption to provide photographic proof of their "torturous stay" , I will mine, and as you can see, her review DOES NOT fit the rest of ours, and I wouldn't say the decor is vintage at all, I would call it seaside cozy; it's so cozy in fact, and the hospitality is so welcoming, unlike other hotels I've stayed in, that you can't find anywhere that I've ever stayed in in my entire life (and I've been to a lot of places), that I wouldn't stay anywhere else in this town. David, the owner, is such a down to earth, breath of fresh air, I've NEVER ran into a hotel owner like him. This place is only 5 units big, but each place pretty much has its own little cart port next to the room, plus every day David makes sure he gives fresh baked goodies from the Italian Bakery there in town, and juices and sodas in your refrigerator. Now what hotel would do that for you? None that I've ever seen or been to. And this was my mom's SECOND time in a row staying here. We stayed here at the end of October, I've just been super busy that I forgot to get my review up. Sounds like SOME people has too high of standards. Every single place we ate at here was amazing in Cambria, and every person we ran into was AMAZING. Seriously, this is one of the best hidden gems in California besides Carmel and Solvang. I told David I would be back many times over. He also has a SLEW of DVDs he lets u check out, and watch in your room and every room has its own electric fire place, and VCR/DVD PLAYER. Also, as far as the microwave is concerned, it's a small teeny tiny microwave that's literally big enough for the hotel room, what honestly do you expect? A large stove top microwave? How much food do you expect to heat up while staying here? Good Grief. And by the way, it's pretty darn powerful. I didn't have a single problem with it. Oh!!!! And we met his maid and she was EXTREMELY nice and thorough. She was neither lazy, nor did the minimum. Every room is also decorated differently. And I thought the sheets and beds were EXTREMELY comfortable, updated, and made nicely. EVERYDAY, at that. Not to mention, that David went out of his way to provide us with the most affordable rates even if it meant that he took a pay cut. Thank you David for such an AMAZING experience. We will be back. Guaranteed.

    Cambria Shores Inn - A view from the hotel front yard towards the ocean across the street

    So first time staying. This place did not disappoint! Best hotel! Went for our 30 yr anniversary …read more Staff so nice everyone! Room was great and clean. View of the ocean was sweet. 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. So cute! They also have wine and food patio. The outside grounds have tons of chairs to sit and watch the waves and sunset ! You must stay here a great experience

    Location and views are fabulous. Being able to walk along the shore and watch the sunset,…read moreincluding from the lawn chairs, was wonderful. 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.

    Unless you plan on pulling all-nighters, I don't recommend this place. I got very little sleep both…read morenights due to hearing the people walking above me past midnight. 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've been vacationing here for years. This year we splurged and paid a premium price for an ocean…read morefront view. 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!

    What a neat place to stay in Cambria. My only regret is booking only one night…read more The room had a retro vibe but was very well maintained and clean. Loved the little pour over coffee pods. Never seen anything like this. In the mornings they bring you a picnic basket with a thermos full of coffee, some pastries and a do it yourself mimosa. The hotel has easy access to the moonstone boardwalk that runs along the bluffs. Easy walk to the boardwalk and to the beach to enjoy the sunset. Need to come back to stay at this place.

He told me I cannot check in until 3 pm, and it was 2:45 pm. We left and came back. The next person at 4 pm on Saturday, July 4th, told us we could have our room cleaned and when we would like to schedule the room cleaning for Sunday. I told the person at 1 pm. When we came back after being away for the day, our place was not cleaned! I went to the front office and asked to have our place cleaned. The person at the desk, at the time 2:30 pm, told me we did not request the room cleaned because we were not on the hand written lined paper list. I told him that was not true as the person grabbed the paper when we checked in and wrote our room and time to be cleaned. The pool, not working and empty. The hot tub had too much chemicals and my skin itched like crazy. I stayed here many years ago and was always greeted with a friendly voice and granted early and late access even when I would pay. I will never stay here again. Maybe the people are not gay friendly... not sure. Bye, bye! Next....
