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.

We stayed in this place several times throughout the years and just loved it, but this time we’re so disappointed! The room has no charm like before, the bathroom and shower is just ok. The only worse thing about the room is there’s no heater! To heat the room is fire place and you can’t use the fireplace in the evening while you sleep because the light comes from the fireplace is So Bright, so very cold while you sleep. But the best place about the hotel is The location! Wow, right at the beach, beautiful!
