This was my first time staying at the Cambria property. From the time I arrived, the service was exceptional. The front desk agent was friendly and welcoming. The property was clean and had many modern conveniences. The room was beautiful and spacious. I would definitely stay there again and refer those I know who would need accommodations. 5 stars!!

Noisiest Bed East of the Brazos

The bed was titerakky was the loudest bed I have ever encountered. It sounded as if it was going to break as I entered or exited the bed. If you rolled over it sound so loud I am sure the neighbors thought something was going on in our bed. Terrible condition.

Haven of all things Blue

The decor at the Cambria was beautifully designed from the wallpaper to the rugs. We ate breakfast at the restaurant and our waiter Patrick was attentive and just a great waiter. The location was great near everything; the river, Magnolia silos and great places to eat and shop. Hope all Cambria hotels are this nice.

One thing unique is that there is no carpet in the rooms and the air conditioner is actually quiet. I don’t think I like how the bathroom door has frosted glass instead of a solid door. I like the nightlights you can turn on by your headboard.

Booking was canceled without me knowing. Showed up to hotel and was told my room was canceled because me card did not work, which i immediately updated on the Expedia website and they only reached out one time and didn’t not leave voicemail to return phone call. I work in a doctors office and can’t always answer my phone. I was told they tried to reach out multiple times but I only had one missed call and when I asked why no message was left so I knew who was calling I was told they did not have to leave a voicemail which I thought was ridiculous given how nice I expected the hotel to be. I was very unhappy given I am pregnant and did not have a place to stay when I arrived for my stay.
