Let me tell you about our five star experience at the Squibb house!…read more This is a well-known bed-and-breakfast in Cambria. It is a historic Victorian house with an abundance of character and old world style. Each room is unique and there are charming little details everywhere you look. We felt so welcome by the lovely garden and the wide porch was calling my name. It just seemed to say "chill for a minute", which I did. The house has a very subtle sweet woody smell that adds a soothing touch to the interior atmosphere. I found it to be instantly relaxing. Our rooms were absolutely beautiful, clean, and bright. The bed was so very comfortable that I slept as though I was at my grandparents house, and feeling completely cared for. Reading the journals with the notes from past visitors was such a delight and It adds to the warmth and comfort that this house lends to those who pass through. Breakfast was way better than expected! It wasn't just coffee and a muffin. They gave us a variety of options with high quality ingredients, and the coffee was smooth and full bodied. We left satisfied, rested, and ready for our next adventure. I cannot recommend them more.

From the easy self check-in, to the late afternoon lounge and tea/treats, to the DELICIOUS breakfasts, to the comfort and beauty of our room -- everything was PERFECTION. The location is ideal (walkable to everything!), the grounds and gardens were intoxicating, and the Amish furniture store next door was incredible! We did NOT want to leave! We adored our private balcony off our room and every accommodation had been thought of. The only thing I'd advise is a microwave for guests in the Black Barn lounge room so we had the ability to reheat food. Perhaps there is already one in the kitchen area, but we didn't want to be rude and enter the closed door as it may have been just for staff. Oh! And the staff? INCREDIBLE!!!! Bruce and his team were inviting, helpful, and we felt as if we'd known them all for eons! We will be returning this winter to enjoy not only the main lounge fireplace but the room fireplace! Thank you to Bruce and his team! STELLAR performance!

Very accommodating and made our stay that much easier. In the morning, Bill and Janis made us the CUTEST & delicious breakfast. We learned so much about them, Cambria, and some fun trivia about Hearst Castle. Bill even helped us obtain discounted tickets! This was everyone's first experience at a Bed & Breakfast and it was great. I would recommend staying at the Dreydon House to anyone!!

The breakfast room is off the porch and very pleasant with plenty of light. The food itself was delicious with a quiche one day and French toast and eggs the next. Every day there was yogurt and homemade granola. The inn is in a historic building and is on the east edge of town, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Angie and Anna were kind and accommodating, always asking if we needed anything. If you are going to Cambria itself or up to Hearst Castle or wherever in the area, I highly recommend the Olallieberry Inn.

For my boyfriend's birthday weekend, I decided to book J Patrick House and Inn. I was really…read moreplanning on giving this place a 5 star review but after the awful experience here on our last day, I decided to take 2 stars off. Let me start with the positives. Before our arrival we were given a code to enter the living space and our room, so it was very convenient to have such an easy check-in with no hassle. Plus was a warm welcome from Nana, the Inn's pet cat. She was really cute and friendly. The room itself was cozy and patios enough for the two of us. The room was spotless clean and loved how spacious the bathroom was, and how comfortable the bed was as well. As far as the complimentary breakfast we received. It was okay. It was a quiche, yogurt with fruit, a muffin, sausages, and orange juice, on both days. It was left by our door around 9 am the two days we were there. Now, for the negatives. Parking spaces are limited and each room doesn't have a guaranteed parking spot. They have misleading information on their website. If you come back after 8 pm, forget about finding parking there. You will need to park in Cambria Inn, their sister property, and walk up a very dark and dangerous road back up to the Inn, which is unsafe! When I let their Inn know about this parking situation, the night before, I couldn't reach anyone after 8 pm, so I was told to call Cambria Inn. The person who picked up was extremely rude, and told me to park anywhere there was parking, after I explained there were no spots available. Finally we ended up parking at the Cambria Inn. The next day, I let the J. Patrick house know about this parking situation and someone over text got super defensive and was trying to send me screenshots of there being parking, when clearly there was none when we arrived, and kept arguing with me about it, which left a really bad taste in my mouth, and in stress I ended up leaving my super expensive jacket, which I still haven't heard about from the Inn. It's unfortunate that this situation happened because I was really hoping that we would have a better ending to a special weekend! I will not be coming back here again!

The place changed ownership a few years ago and the new owner is great -- very responsive to text messages and made sure we were taken care of. Rooms are large, clean, and safe. It was a great place to stay with my wife and our dog. There's even a dog towel to wipe sandy paws which Baxter appreciated. Boardwalk access is directly across the street. There are only four rooms and the place is at the north end of Windrush Beach so it's quiet but not isolated. There are not a lot of amenities along the beach, so you definitely need a car to get around. We hope to stay here again when we need pet friendly accommodations.

Unfortunately, we had to leave early and was unable to partake of their breakfast basket that everyone raves about.

I love pet-friendly places Breakfast is modest...oatmeal, lemon ginger slice, pumpkin walnut slice, and hard boiled eggs. Boardwalk is just across the street. We enjoyed our morning and evening walks. They also had a common area where you can lie down and enjoy your ocean view. I deducted a star because no AC, mini fridge nor microwave (but we knew this coming in). I think there's a portable fan in the room though. I wish they had a microwave in the common area. Walls are thin so bring ear plugs if you're sensitive to noise especially since they're pet friendly (thank goodness our dog only barked a couple of times during the night ).

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.

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.
