I have stayed in just about all of the pet-friendly B & B's on Moonstone Beach in my many years of coming to Cambria for long weekend getaways. In my experience, Cambria Shores is the cleanest, most well-maintained, most pet-friendly, and overall nicest place of all of them. Yes, the other places accept pets, but Cambria Shores genuinely welcomes them with open arms. Their nightly happy hour, and freshly baked cookies and brownies in the lobby are an extra bonus. Wonderful place to recharge your spirit.

Breakfast very good, but same each day, no variety; used to get blankets outside, but now just towels; more chairs were available-great; loved the 5pm brownies-great; office hospitality was excellent; connection with Madeline's was a wonderful surprise; complimentary glass of wine was well-received- we loved it. Decorations were gorgeous, and there were picnic tables! We liked the furnishings: mirrors on the doors were great- all together, still our favorite Cambria hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Our stay was wonderful! The room was fantastic & very comfortable! The back patio was a bonus. The beach access & views were the best part - it was literally right outside the door & across the street - a 30 second walk. The second best was the breakfast delivered right to our door in a basket! So convenient! There were a few restaurants in walking distance & the rest were just a short 5 min drive into downtown Cambria. As a side note - the shower had great water pressure! Highly recommend this hotel!

Our stay at Cambria Shores was relaxing and beautiful. We really appreciated the chairs on the lawn, the breakfast baskets, and the fireplace! This is quite a hidden gem amongst many of the newly remodeled places. I would stay here again for sure (and plan on it!)
