We were told to keep it a secret...
Room had a beautiful backlit vanity mirror but unfortunately lights flickered so much it made the lights useless. I would have loved the light up huge mirror to work making it easier for makeup application instead of overhead lights. A Woman checking in before us stated she loves the place I can see why, it has a great location to boardwalk along the coastline best enjoyed during a morning or sunset walk. The boardwalk also had a few benches along the trail to sit and watch the sunset, I would recommend staying there when you visit Cambria for this reason alone. Rooms include the fake fireplace for heat, small closet/mini kitchen with microwave and small fridge no freezer though. Room also offers Lather bath products. I had never heard of the product line but ended up loving how my hair felt and smelled all day so much that I looked up to see if you could purchase online and you can! I'm excited to have the hotels products at home. Also about the secret ---a we met a lady at the boardwalk while sitting on bench watching the sunset, she told us she has traveled here often and loves to visit she said this was an awesome place we agreed with her then she told us to keep it (Cambria) a secret, it quite literally is a gem. I'm glad my husband said he wanted to stay at this hotel it really made our stay feel special for our our 8th Anniversary. We can't wait to stay at FogCatcher soon we even started looking at future dates before even checking out. Book this place don't cheap out.

The room was very spacious and comfortable. The bed was great. The property was very quiet - that may have been due to the fact that we did get lucky and have the very back corner unit. We had 2 issues - the fireplace barely worked and one morning it took about 15 minutes of running the shower to finally get hot water. Not deal breakers (since the hot water did eventually work) but just something to note. The front desk service was sub par - not rude or anything, just very blah and uninterested in helping. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much though. The beach is right across the street, there are some restaurant and shopping options right there on the main beachfront strip, but we mostly went to Main Street (about a mile walk or a really quick drive). Definitely recommend Indigo Moon as a dinner spot.

Fine for a night
The location was great. The bed was very comfy, and the fireplace was a nice touch. The closet was dirty and dusty. I worried about dirtying my stuff. The tv options were a bit dated, but it could've been worse. Staff was friendly. Check in and out were super easy.

Very weak internet in an area with very weak T-Mobile signal so pretty isolated feeling. No food utensils, just things they want to upsell in lobby. Parking good. Beds good. Mirror with built in light kept flashing off/on sporadically. Can't fix that so didn't request it being fixed and we were in last room with 2 queens. Only 2 restaurants nearby totally full and locals line up with chairs as don't take reservations. Reading reviews sounds like not that good. I think the good reviews are from locals to support local ;) $300 as fine as been on 2 week west coast trip averaging about that a night but felt like taken advantage of given the amenities

Pros and cons
Comfy bed, nice quiet room, clean, a generous amount of towels, nice fireplace. Room looked larger in online pics than it actually was, rather expensive for a room without a balcony. Paint and wallpaper peeling in places. Hard water makes showering a little less effective.

Overall, I was disappointed. First, I think I paid a bit more for a room with a partial ocean view. I’m not sure there’s any way to specify whether you get a ground floor or second floor room. I got a ground floor room, and it’s not great. Folks walking by outside get a clear view into your bedroom and it’s a bit uncomfortable. But not a deal breaker. What really bothered me was the condition of the furniture. Chairs were horribly stained and frankly, dilapidated. I’m shocked they kept them in a room that costs over 300/night. When my fiancée mentioned the chairs, the young lady working the front desk casually mentioned they were going to be thrown away soon. Yikes. If they’re headed to the trash, maybe don’t keep them in the rooms? That leads me to my second complaint - the staff. They were nice enough. But the majority appeared to be under the age of 25. It felt like several college kids running a hotel. Nothing against young folks working an honest day, but the level of service and attention to detail was commensurate with - well - 20 year olds. Finally, the hotel offers nothing in terms of basic amenities. They claim to partner with the cow tipper down the road for room service. But the QR code on the menu didn’t work. So we tried to call them on our cell, and the cow tipper didn’t answer. Maybe the front desk knows how to order? No luck, the phone in the room didn’t work. What a mess. There’s plenty of options in the area. I cant recommend this one.

It wasn’t a bad stay but I wouldn’t stay here again. They said their breakfast cafe was open and that we could get coffee and food delivered to our room but the restaurant was closed and no one told us. The staff told us to order from there and when we tried calling they did not answer so we drove down there and it was closed.
