We had a wonderful stay! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Cambria/Moonstone area.
One of the best places I’ve stayed in California. Everything feels so thoughtfully done from the cleanliness to the room details and the breakfast they bring right to your door. Super peaceful area and such a beautiful view. Would love to come back!!!!
The most beautiful room and scenery, wish we would’ve stayed there longer. Went for our honeymoon and they gave us champagne and of course woke up to a beautiful picnic basket. So sweet

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was incredible and the staff was beyond friendly. I will book a visit to Cambria again just to stay at this hotel.
Perfect romantic weekend coastal getaway. Very clean and cozy room. High end bath amenities and morning coffee/pastries were appreciated. Staff were very helpful with local dinner options and welcoming. We will definitely be back!
The service was absolutely perfect, everyone was kind, helpful, and accommodating. I loved the little things that the front did to make our stay just that much more special (I won’t spoil the sweet surprises). I wish there was a pool and or a little spa, but otherwise I am beyond impressed.
