Perfect location it took us like 2 minutes to walk to the beach. The lodge property was super clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating and there's a market right at the hotel with everything you'll need. Room was clean and comfy. Very quiet and peaceful my family and I had zero complaints about our stay we'll definitely be back.

The room was good just to stay and sleep. The screen door was broken and the place looked run down, the chairs in the room were old and worn out.

This hotel is a bit dated. It’s nothing special but was clean and located across the street from the ocean.

I loved the fact that it had beautiful ocean views, and we loved that we had the ability to leave our window open to hear the surf. A better showerhead wouldn't hurt! While the food was good at the restaurant, it was a bit overpriced which allowed us to go to Cambria to eat on the other days we were there. Overall, the food was good, and the stay was great!

Quick 1 day trip

This was a quick trip from so cal to Cambria, to drop off Christmas gifts to family. The lodge was decent and clean. Furniture and decor was dated, but for the location and price it is a good deal. Restaurant on property was excellent, will stay again.

Beautiful area! Clean rooms with comfortable beds. Several restaurants very close. You can lie in bed and listen to the ocean or watch from the window. I love this area of the Central Coast!

Location to Hearst Castle and the views off PCH are great. The bed was creaky and the property could use a major update from circa 1990s. Overall, was clean… BEWARE- Peeping Tom walking around back of property looking into bathroom window. I caught him and reported to front desk who “looked into it”. I proceeded to report to the San Luis Obispo Sheriff Department who came to check the area. Tall 6’2 male, dirty blonde hair in mid 20’s.

Returning guests

Second time we stay here, and we'll likely be back next time we are in town. Great for the price (during winter at least, that's when we have visited), and right across the street from beach access. This time we also tried the restaurant for breakfast and really enjoyed it.
