Loved the location- loved the fireplace. Need some soundproofing between floors. We had a bottom unit but could hear the upstairs neighbor constantly walking two out of the four nights we stayed. Thankfully the other two nights were wonderful because no one was above us.

Directly across the street from walking trail along the ocean. We had an ocean view room and it didn't disappoint! Stuning sunset view right from our balcony. Parking a little bit of a challenge to get infront of our building, but not a real big deal. Overall, I highly recommend this inn.

Obviously mid-construction. Pile of materials in the parking lot near the entrance off Moonstone. Seems this could have been stored elsewhere. Broken blind in my room. Outside lighting glaring in the window all night. Blackout blind would have been appreciated.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It is one of the nicest locations on Moonstone Drive. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Make sure to take part in the wine tasting on the property if it’s being offered - great wine! Would come back to the same place the next time we visit this area.

This was our first trip to Cambria. We were pleasantly surprised that the partial view was VERY unobstructed. We enjoyed the living area to be able to relax during some down time. The noise factor from any other guests was never an issue. There were a couple SMALL dings in the ceiling and wall but nothing that couldn’t be overlooked. We look forward to coming again and would love to make this a regular place we stay.

The property was perfectly situated on the strand at Moonstone Beach. The sound of the waves on the beach could easily be heard from our oceanfront room. The ambiance was unsurpassed.

Great location and comfy. Very nice staff.
We stayed only one night but wanted a place near Moonstone beach and the location was perfect. The front desk was extremely helpful, as we did have a few issues with not having any soap or shampoo/conditioner for the shower, tub and sinks. The bed was comfy and the price was great so I would recommend it for anyone looking for a short stop over stay.

How to Stay in Cambria
First, don't do just 1 night ... there's an ocean out there. If you check in at 5 pm the ocean disappears quickly into darkness and waking up only a few hours of ocean before 11 a.m. check-out. Stay 2 nights so you get all that Cambria Ocean right across the street a full daylight day. Second, don't get scared away from one of the best and funnest restaurants in the world, Sea Chest Oyster Bar, a short 5 min. walk away ...... sure no reservations and cash only and a line way out the door when they open every day at 5 pm. You just watch the end of the football or any game on TV in your room and go over at 8 pm. Things start to open up by then, but there is a bar up inside for waiting and drinking at but the main bar watching the oyster chefs is far better than a table. And it's dark by then outside anyway. And buy a long sleeve Sea Chest Oyster Bar shirt to wear all year.
