We had a wonderful time from the moment we checked in until we left…Thank you for ordering 3 full days of sunshine for us! The breakfast basket idea was a great start to everyday. We loved the way that guests mixed and mingled in the lovely garden with seating and tables.

Exceptional hospitality

We actually did not get to go on this trip as we were unfortunately evacuated because of the LA fires. However, I have stayed here many times before and have always had an amazing experience and exceptional stay, which is why we always come back. Huge thank you to the staff for allowing us to change our plans seamlessly, their hospitality is what sets Cambria shores in apart from many other options of places to stay.

We love Cambria, as I’ve gotten older it has become one of my go to spots for complete peace and quiet and relaxation. This trip however did not go as planned. The hotel rooms are way too small at Cambria shores inn. It’s like being inside a kids room at your buddy’s house. Tiny little room, and the king bed??? There’s no way that’s a king bed unless it was like the first prototype of a king bed. Not very comfortable at all, had trouble sleeping all 3 nights. Why would they put us , guests that are staying 3 nights, all the way in the back of the hotel, when there was a front unit, that had a big window looking out at the ocean in the front that had nobody in it all 3 nights. Yet they put us almost all the way in the back. That makes no sense at all. Shower wasn’t stocked with all 3, gel, shampoo and conditioner. And to top it all off, they redid their parking lot the last day we were there, so was super noisy most of the day and couldn’t park in the parking lot, and when we left on Tuesday morning had to walk all of our belongings out to the street where we had to park the car over night. All in all , very unhappy with Cambria Shores Inn, and will, more than likely, never return.

This is an adorable and well maintained motel. Their staff is friendly and helpful. We received complimentary glasses of wine and the charcuterie board we ordered was very nice. Love the chairs they have out front where you can relax and watch the sunset. It’s right across the street from the ocean. Will definitely come back.

We loved everything about Cambria shores; Spacious room, comfortable beds, large tv, room darkening blinds, picnic basket breakfast, specialty coffee in lobby area and wine ($), cookies and brownies in the lobby as well, friendly staff. The location is perfect, across from boardwalk and expansive ocean views from the Adirondack chairs on the lawn. Definitely recommend- also is pet friendly so you get to see some great dogs.

Beautiful landscaping with a cute dog on mail box and decorative fido house is what I first noticed followed by friendly staff that greet guests promplty. They offered fresh baked goods and coffee on arrival, and let me tell you after a long drive that was needed. They have meticulously thought out every detail of this property. We received wine vouchers, food discounts and a complimentary breakfast that they hang outside of the room in a picnic basket. When I say adorable that description doesn't even come close. The room had a spa feel to it and was spacious enough to home 3 adults and 2 small dogs comfortably. Oh yeah, I forgot, we received a puppy bag with collapsing bowl, flash light and doggy bags and treats. I mean, pride of ownership is alive here. We will make this a family trip at least yearly for the treatment, location and relaxation factors.
