The room was neglected and dirty when we showed up MY FAMILY and I checked out early Saturday morning. I got another hotel instead of saying at the fog catcher. I want a refund for the second night stay.

We have stayed at Fog Catcher before and this time was equally good. The staff is courteous and helpful. The room was clean and tidy and the beds are comfortable. The room, however, does not have a temperature control. It is heated by a fireplace, which I had to turn off after a few hours because it got too hot. Otherwise a great room at a good price. We will stay here again.

Our stay at the Fog Catcher Inn in Cambria was absolutely wonderful. The ocean views, cozy fireplace, and relaxed coastal charm made it the perfect getaway. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the easy walk to Moonstone Beach made every morning feel like a dream.

The room was comfortable but needs upgrades. The front bedroom window lock was missing so we were unable to lock it. The wood has degraded around a lot of the windows. The paint job was very poorly done in the bathroom.

Room was clean but could use a coat of fresh paint.Staff was friendly and helpful. We found out about no complementary bkfast after the time to cancel expired.It wouldn't have mattered to us, Extra charge for internet upgrade and charge for Fiji Water is chicken crap. A resort might be able to get away with this but not this place.
