Getaway hotel

First time staying here with 3 other friends for our annual getaway. This place is nice! Perfect location to walk to town. The people that work here are friendly, professional and Cambria knowledgeable. They offer coffee, tea and fruit in the morning and cocktail hour in the evening, and an outdoor fire. Great place to stay, quiet and safe

Mixed Bag

My friend and I visited Cambria to take in the sights at the Fiscalini Ranch and to tour the lighthouse. We stayed two nights. What we liked about our room, #16. Very spacious - comfortable beds - handy microwave, refrigerator/freezer, toaster, and a small drip coffee maker. The hotel is in a nice location and we enjoyed the courtyard that backs up to a serene green space. What we didn’t like - furniture in sitting room looked like thrift store finds and there were no chairs as were shown in the room photos. Room was very dark unlike the room photo. Being on the bottom floor we could hear the footsteps/noises from our upstairs neighbors. There was only one person in attendance the whole time we were there and he leaves the premises at nine p.m. so there’s no one on duty. Many times when we went to the lobby area there was no one present. Never stayed at a hotel where there was no one on night duty.

This is one of the nicest Inns we have ever stayed at. The rooms are HUGE and beautifully furnished. The location is perfect. Very quiet and private. Coffee available in your room and in the morning room. 2 hour happy hour each evening from 5-7 with a delicious fresh baked gourmet flatbread. An incredible value with their reasonable pricing. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Love staying at Rigdon House when I’m in the Central Coast! Their rooms are cozy and complete with all the amenities you need, including toiletries, makeup wipes, extra towels, etc. Each room I have stayed in includes an electric fireplace and a coffee bar with drip coffee, an electric kettle, a microwave and mini fridge. There’s a coffee room in the main building where you can grab tea, tea cups, dishes and snacks, including popcorn, cookies and fruit. This is what really sells me each time- Each night from 5-7pm they have FREE happy hour in the lounge, where there’s plenty of seating and REAL cocktails, not just wine and beer. Plus, it’s walkable to downtown Cambria, where you’ll find great food, some shopping and a natural foods market with an amazing deli. Highly recommended, will be back again!
