The bed was very comfortable and I loved the fireplace. Right across the street from the ocean and a nice little boardwalk. The main restaurant in town only takes cash. The bathroom could use some updating. Definitely would stay here again

Cambria is one of my favorite spots along the CA coast. Nice hotel, well located along the beach walkway. Many amenities within walking distance or a short drive into Cambria.
