This was one of the most charming places I've ever stayed. My family was doing a California roadtrip and stayed in the Rigdon House for one night, but everyone was wishing we could stick around for more. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The happy hour and firepit and breakfast just make this the perfect place for a few nights in central California.

Enjoyed the room, although would not have booked the hotel knowing that there's really not someone at the front desk but rather someone who comes and goes along with no phones in the room and poor TV. Next stay would be the beach or Cambria Pine Lodge 100%.

The staff is always helpful. The property has had a lot of nice renovations and upgrades. We’ve stayed about 5 times now. The only thing I wish they would consider is putting distance between bookings that have children and bookings that don’t.

The place is so cute, clean and lovely…. Totally Cambria vibe. Very well located in downtown, walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc. We love the self-serve ambiance, although it was hard to get an answer from staff when wanted to check-in.
