Our stay at the Fog Catcher Inn in Cambria was absolutely wonderful. The ocean views, cozy fireplace, and relaxed coastal charm made it the perfect getaway. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the easy walk to Moonstone Beach made every morning feel like a dream.

Stayed for 2 nights, had a lovely time! The view is exceptional, the rooms were clean and spacious: with high ceilings and comfy beds. The area is quiet and there’s plenty of parking, and the boardwalk has a breathtaking view that anyone can enjoy. Overall, this hotel was perfect for our trip to Cambria!

Across the street from a beautiful beach, we enjoyed easy check in, and a comfortable room with a fireplace. Enjoyed the hot tub and sitting area next to it with a fire in the evening. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. There was only a small coffee machine in the room but it was a short walk to a coffee shop with seating on the patio or outside.
