Directly across the street from Moonstone Beach, reasonably priced, great staff. The list continues. This was our second time visiting Cambria and staying at this establishment. And when we go again, we will stay here again. Highly recommend.

Our suite with a partial oven view was beautiful and newly decorated. Carmen at the front desk was so helpful and greeted us warmly. The new bridge between our building was completed and tastefully done. We love Cambria and will return to the Pelican Suites.

Very comfortable room. Room was clean and spacious. Great location. Right across from Moonstone beach. Very difficult to get through to the front desk at any point in time if you had questions or needed something for the room. No EV parking on-site or close to the property if you’re driving an EV. Somebody at the reservation office told us that there was EV parking in the lot next-door, however, that belonged to another hotel and it was not a public charge station.
Great location!
