To say this is a beautiful place to stay is a complete understatement. The staff was extremely friendly. Our three dogs were in heaven. And being able to relax and enjoy the sunset after a long day was very rewarding! We will most definitely be staying here again!

Relaxing!

It was a wonderful experience. The hotel is located right on the beach with wonderful views. Cambria is aa delightful small town on the central coast. There were great places to eat and shop in the quaint town. Great place to relax and enjoy the ocean air.

Serviceable motel. Certainly not worth the ridiculous price. Of course the location is excellent, being in right in front of Moonstone beach, but all I could see from our “partial view” room was the parking lot! Not much privacy either since, as mentioned above, it’s a converted motel. The one good thing about the room was the bathroom, with separate shower and bathtub. As for breakfast… packet of OJ, two sweet muffin -like things, a banana and an apple. … oh and a stick of pre-packaged string cheese. Not horrible but far from very good, as some reviewers here have suggested.

Wonderful property steps away from Moonstone Beach. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean with plenty of amenities. Morning breakfast baskets were enough for our family of 4 and the cookies and borwnies in the lobby in the evening were greatly appreciated by our children. We will definitely consider staying here again.

Cambria Shores Inn is immaculately clean and well-maintained. It is extremely dog-friendly, providing blankets, bowls, treats, and a take-home bag containing a silicone bowl, tiny flashlight, and a poop bag dispenser. In addition, they have evening treats for the human guests with freshly baked cookies and brownies and a complimentary glass of wine. A breakfast basket containing fruit, pastries, and juice is delivered in the morning in a basket delivered to the room. There are many B&B's along Moonstone Beach, but Cambria Shores Inn is exceptional.
