Have stayed here several times. In the past there was a complimentary breakfast. Not anymore. Rooms are heated via a fireplace and it is either on or off. There was an electric space heater in the closet but we did not use it. They did not have glasses for water in the room had to ask for some at the lobby. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I arrived at 3:30PM and the hostess rudely informed me that check in was at 4:00PM, i came back at 4:15 to find the office filled with everyone else who were checking in, 30 or more people, I came back at 7:15 and checked in. Opening my room door i heard water running, due to the shower being on, the room was flooded, I called the front desk and no answer, I went to the office to find no one, using every towel in the room, I cleaned the water as well as possible, I went to sleep and left early in the morning, not to return, even though i had one more day reserved.

We have been staying at the Fog Catcher for quite some time. The rooms are nice, location is perfect, but it has lost it's sense of hospitality. Ever since Covid, they stopped serving breakfast in the morning, which other properties, including Cambria Pines Lodge, still include. Instead, they want you to purchase breakfast form their sister hotel's restaurant. On top of that, they will send you a message offering late check out for 31 dollars. This place has lost it's Cambria charm and feels more corporate. While the hotel itself is nice, we will probably stay elsewhere next time.

Nice place to stay
The gentleman who checked us was very professional and friendly. The room was clean, and very spacious actually. We did not have a patio or balcony, but the view at the fire pit of the ocean was spectacular. Will definitely stay here again.

We had two major issues. First, we drove up from Los Angeles that day. We showed up in the lobby 1 hour and 15 minutes before the check-in time of 4 PM (pretty late you know). The clerk said that our room was ready, but we would have to pay $25 to use it now. Offended by their crass attempt, we told them no and went and had a drink, returning dutifully at 4 PM. Second, we had reserved their best room, facing the ocean. There aren't many. The windows facing the ocean were small and very dirty - impossible to see out in the late afternoon sun. But worse, the room has NO heating! It did have a decorative fireplace with a gas burner, but it took 10 hours to get the room to 65 degrees. Summary: You can do much better, there are many hotels on Moonstone Beach.

Absolutely love this hotel, there’s a fireplace in each room, which brings a comforting ambience to your stay. Conveniently across the street from Moonstone Beach ..My favorite place to stay at in Cambria.
