Fantastic location, walking distance for food and shopping. Need a car if going to explore beyond Cambia. The room was fantastic the only down side was the door lock. It’s definitely time for an upgrade to 2026. By far our favorite thing was hanging in the shared space and having some free cocktails before dinner, they were delish.

The hotel was nicely kept with a rich history behind it. Rooms were extremely spacious. The outdoor fireplace provided the tranquility we were looking for. Location was a perfect walking distance from the main street which allowed us to walk the town. The two free drinks was a nice touch to our checkin process. I would definitely be staying there again.

Perrin, at the front desk was wonderful. It’s an old inn, with real keys! Room was big, old style furniture, but very functional. Unreal water pressure in the shower. Everything was very clean. They have a great happy hour of two drinks. The drinks were top notch and on point. We really enjoyed our stay here. It was an excellent value too!!

Rigdon House is my go-to spot when visiting Cambria, anytime of the year. It is convenient to local shopping and dining, especially if you want to be within walking distance. They offer a complimentary happy hour each evening; it includes up to 2 drinks or cocktails and small bites. There’s a nice outdoor area with fire pit and a tea room with everything you need for hot drinks. Every room I have stayed in includes an electric fireplace. Very cozy!

This is an amazing and relaxing property. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are clean, and the location is close to town with plenty of things to do. It is a relaxing spot. The happy hour at 5pm is wonderful. We like to stop here on our way home for a night to shorten the drive between Santa Barbara and Northern California.

Would stay again. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Friendly staff. Free drinks for happy hour. The Smoky old fashioned was excellent. The room was really big. Could use some maintenance, bed was lumpy and the handle was broken on the mini fridge. Nothing too important but the small touches are important.
