Our room did NOT look as good as the one in the picture when I booked through Travelocity. The room smelled musty, linens are average, bed skirt was ripped and the TV is cable only that seems to be stuck in the 1990's. It was hard to open the two front windows and when my husband did, there was dust caked on the window sill. The fridge has no freezer section for ice packs. We won't be staying here again. Getting tired of hotels that charge a lot of money for a bait & switch photo.

Beautiful setting & landscaping, clean & attractive facilities (with a nice touch of elegance), quiet (despite the pool & hot tub), clean & spacious rooms (with cathedral ceilings), nice amenities (fridge, microwave oven, WiFi, & TV), and amazing & very helpful staff. Great views! Situated across the street from Moonstone Beach and the ocean (on the beautiful California Central Coast).

The phone and refrigerator didn’t work. Shades on window in shabby condition. Key card needed to be reactivated. Base of toilet dirty. Very small bath and toilet area. Not impressed. Very ordinary. Expected more in Cambria. Would never stay there again.

This was our second time staying at FogCatcher. The location on Moonstone Beach is amazing, rooms are spacious, and the hotel has increased communication about services. Given the high prices, I'd love to see a few increased room amenities to help make the most of the location such as a tea kettle or higher quality coffee maker in the room. The beach is just across the street and it would be perfect to prepare a warm beverage before stargazing at night or heading out to the beach in the morning.

Inn was fine. My stay was for the most part comfortable. I had called a day in advance for early check in, and upon arrival was told there was no record of this request, which was irritating. However they were able to accommodate me into a new room quickly. The room itself had an odor I needed to air out during my 2 night stay. Room was comfortable though overall, however the new room I was assigned was right off the parking lot and noise after hours was an issue consistently as walls and windows were very thin.
