8.8/10 Excellent! (1,003 reviews)

The ocean was seen from my patio room beautiful view. The hotels personal were more than helpful on my concerns and catered to my needs. Look forward to going back to because Cambria is a great place to relax and enjoy the views. If you get here about an 11/2 earlier you can enjoy your bottle of wine before you get in to eat, so i recommend eating at the sea chest bar and grill and main Street grill in the town of Cambria.
