Great location right across from the ocean boardwalk. Staff was very friendly and the overall room accommodations were excellent. They do need to fix the overhead ceiling fan which was making too much noise to sleep. Please note, that there are few dining options around this area.

Cute and well maintained hotel in Cambria, along the main road and with direct views on the beach. We could see surfers from our room. Walkable distance from a restaurant, but not a lot of other options for dining at the time of our stay. Breakfast options at the hotel were very limited and could be improved.
