Best hotel ever !

Absolutely loved this place ! Such a good value, was clean, quiet, well taken care of. There were fresh peanut butter cookies waiting for us in our room. The room was so thoughtfully laid out: the extra storage everywhere, great lighting in the bathroom, reading lights above the beds, good size fridge, cups with lids for the coffee, and spacious table with chairs right by window to see the view. The grounds had so much for the guests: chairs with a fire pit and a big swinging chair facing the ocean (along with other chairs and heat lamp with white cute decorative lights that come on at night ) pool, jacuzzi, cornhole, picnic area with BBQ . The Moonstone Beach Boardwalk is right across the street with beach access too. Also the beds were very comfy, will DEFINITELY stay here again.

Any property along this stretch of road is just across from the beach. Our 1 King Bed Oceanfront View was partially obstructed by a tree albeit a nice tree but still...be aware fog is often a factor in this section of Cambria.

This hotel is really welcoming, clean and convenient. It was my family's favourite spot even though it was possibly the cheapest night of our trip around California. Our kids loved the little breakfast room, especially the pancake machine! Staff were really friendly and the whole place had a really relaxed vibe. Located just opposite the beach, it had a fire pit, heated pool and hot tub. A great place to stay!
