Very impressed with how clean it was, and the employees were very friendly. Very walkable to the beach, and close proximity to the town. TVs also had great channels and access to Netflix. Rooms were very spacious and the front office had complimentary cookies, coffee, and tea.

There were no designated areas for pets or smokers. I know smoking is not favored in Cambria, but most hotels have designated areas for pets and smokers. Also, the bed was terrible, hard as the floor.

Not worth the high price.

Did not enjoy our stay here the rooms are very dated bathrooms cabinets are chipped the heater doesn’t work without the fireplace on but no instructions on how to operate. The housekeeping was non existent but you could ask for extra towels. But the girls would congratulate outside our window and talk which woke us up both mornings. We left a day early without a refund.
