We love Cambria, as I’ve gotten older it has become one of my go to spots for complete peace and quiet and relaxation. This trip however did not go as planned. The hotel rooms are way too small at Cambria shores inn. It’s like being inside a kids room at your buddy’s house. Tiny little room, and the king bed??? There’s no way that’s a king bed unless it was like the first prototype of a king bed. Not very comfortable at all, had trouble sleeping all 3 nights. Why would they put us , guests that are staying 3 nights, all the way in the back of the hotel, when there was a front unit, that had a big window looking out at the ocean in the front that had nobody in it all 3 nights. Yet they put us almost all the way in the back. That makes no sense at all. Shower wasn’t stocked with all 3, gel, shampoo and conditioner. And to top it all off, they redid their parking lot the last day we were there, so was super noisy most of the day and couldn’t park in the parking lot, and when we left on Tuesday morning had to walk all of our belongings out to the street where we had to park the car over night. All in all , very unhappy with Cambria Shores Inn, and will, more than likely, never return.

This is an adorable and well maintained motel. Their staff is friendly and helpful. We received complimentary glasses of wine and the charcuterie board we ordered was very nice. Love the chairs they have out front where you can relax and watch the sunset. It’s right across the street from the ocean. Will definitely come back.

We loved everything about Cambria shores; Spacious room, comfortable beds, large tv, room darkening blinds, picnic basket breakfast, specialty coffee in lobby area and wine ($), cookies and brownies in the lobby as well, friendly staff. The location is perfect, across from boardwalk and expansive ocean views from the Adirondack chairs on the lawn. Definitely recommend- also is pet friendly so you get to see some great dogs.

Beautiful little Inn. A hidden gem with spectacular views and quiet ambiance. From the homemade brownies in the office to the informal wine tasting on the deck, I can’t imagine staying anywhere else along the central coast.

Beautiful landscaping with a cute dog on mail box and decorative fido house is what I first noticed followed by friendly staff that greet guests promplty. They offered fresh baked goods and coffee on arrival, and let me tell you after a long drive that was needed. They have meticulously thought out every detail of this property. We received wine vouchers, food discounts and a complimentary breakfast that they hang outside of the room in a picnic basket. When I say adorable that description doesn't even come close. The room had a spa feel to it and was spacious enough to home 3 adults and 2 small dogs comfortably. Oh yeah, I forgot, we received a puppy bag with collapsing bowl, flash light and doggy bags and treats. I mean, pride of ownership is alive here. We will make this a family trip at least yearly for the treatment, location and relaxation factors.

We looked for a pet friendly hotel in that area and this place is the best pet friendly hotel we’ve ever stayed. The rooms were super clean. The facilities were too. There is a local coffee bar onsite which made it so convenient to sit outside in the lawn and watch the beauty of the sea in the quietness of dawn.

Lovely dog friendly (for real!)
Hotel was great for our needs. We have our dog with us on a road trip. Many places say "dog friendly", but none have been as friendly as this hotel. We were warmly welcomed (including our pup..he got dog treats and a doggie bag). Our room was clean and cute. Plenty of grassy areas (hard to find) for pups. Lots of seating to watch the sunset. The ONLY negative was our bed sloped on one side (I'm sure they will replace). Still slept well. We would definitely go back!
