We gave been coming here for years great place to stay we love Cambria

We had an overnight stay at the Sea Otter Inn and it was just what we needed after a long drive. The location is perfect to enjoy Moonstone beach and accommodations were awesome. Although it’s is an older Inn, they really kept the rooms clean and inviting. Bed and pillows were comfortable and morning breakfast was an added bonus. The coffee and tea location in their office was also highly appreciated. Staff was nice and welcoming. Overall, our stay was very relaxing and I wouldn’t hesitate to come back! I would recommend staying here.

Great staff. Very helpful and friendly. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Gas fireplace in room and nice little outdoor lounges with gas fire pits. The best part of the stay was the picnic basket breakfast hung by your door in the morning.

Fantastic location, clean rooms & nice staff and amenities.

Beautiful location on the waterfront. Nice property, clean, friendly staff. Highway noise sometimes intrusive at night.

It is close to the boardwalk on Moonstone, where we walked along the coast with incredible views and the peace of the ocean waves. The room was very clean and the breakfast burritos (meat and vegetarian) were good and filling. Very good coffee and cookies in the office.

Enjoyed the friendly staff, the Jacuzzi the fire pit and the breakfast basket in the morning.

Great place, very clean, complementary breakfast was great. Fantastic location and friendly staff.

Clean , comfortable , quiet. Nice breakfast choices, they deliver in basket to your room. If you forget to order they remind you !! Definitely recommend

Friendly staff. Next to ocean. Fireplace and picnick breakfast!

The only problem is that they charge you the full amount twice. Once when you check in and again when you check out. When I called on the way home they said this is standard practice, I’ve never seen this before at a hotel and we travel a lot.

Great location, peaceful property! I very much enjoyed my 1 night stay with my dog. The staff was helpful!

Very friendly staff who were clearly working to ensure the health and safety of patrons. They have 3 ocean view rooms - we stayed in one that had a very nice and fairly private patio with nice ocean and sunset view.
