We enjoyed our stay at Cambria Shores Inn! Pros: Location, location, location! Loved the view, the Adirondack chairs, the boardwalk right across the street, the overall dog-friendly environment, the friendliness of the staff, GREAT local restaurants, the afternoon baked treats, the morning breakfast baskets... Cons: The rooms could use some up-dating, the bed was dented and somewhat uncomfortable because of that, poor selection of coffee (Folgers)/tea (none) in the room with no hot water kettle, the coffee in the reception area wasn't available until 8:30am, the breakfast was the exact same thing EVERY MORNING... We enjoyed our 3 night stay, but for the price we paid, I expected a little more.

We had a short stay with our dog. Property grounds were well-maintained. Had a little trouble with our television but the front desk came quickly to solve our problem. We will stay here again next time we come to Cambria. We loved that it was very dog friendly.

We will always stay here. Perfect stay everyone. Staff, especially Scott, goes above and beyond to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Rooms are very nice. Love all the little touches like a basket with books, dinnerware and an extra blanket and water bowl for the dogs. Love the breakfast hung in a basket outside our door and the convenience of having a coffee shop and restaurant on site now. Best place to sit in an Adirondack and watch the sun set.

Absolutely on of our favorite places to stay! The staff was friendly, room was clean, and location on the ocean was wonderful. The wine, cookies, and breakfast basket were fun and unexpected additions. Although we didn’t have our dog with us, it was fun that they are dog friendly. The next time we visit CA we will definitely plan to stay here again!

Everyone was very kind! Room was clean and they provided SO much for our doggie companion! Water / food bowls, potty bags with a holder, to go water container, treats, and a list of anything we could possibly ask for that was dog related (activities, local dog stores / vets, dog friendly restaurants, etc.) It was such an enjoyable stay. We can’t wait to come back!
