The oceanfront location was amazing! We loved being able to walk to the beach and watch the waves at sunset. The hotel room's carpet could use some updating, but the free wine was a nice touch. One drawback was the limited dining options nearby. The hotel's proximity to the lighthouse and elephant sea lions was a big plus. Cambria is a great nearby town to explore.

First, the views from our room and the property in general are amazing! With the benches for facing the ocean and the chimnea fires also available to stay warm while enjoying the sunset, it is an ideal place to view the sun setting over the ocean. Super friendly staff to answer any questions! i usually ask lots of questions. Breakfast is so close that you do not need a car! Also great staff there too! Absolutely ready to return to this place!
