The husband and wife owners were lovely and gracious. They had just installed a Tesla charger and let me try it for free as a test case. They gave us cookies and a little toy car when we arrived and had fresh free croissants and other types of bread, fruit, oatmeal and coffee in the morning. The stay was super stress free and easy. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the really poor water pressure in the shower. But I'm California there isn't a ton they can do about that.

My stay was great. Clean room, friendly staff, quick response with concern. The bed frame was making loud popping noises when I moved on the bed. I reported it, they fixed the problem right away. I slept great with no noise from the bed.

The room we stayed in was very nice and clean, freshly updated. On the other hand breakfast or should I say a snack was extremely limited to a few items. For instance there was instant oatmeal but the water offered was not hot. Had some fresh fruit, bananas, and apples, had a container of croissants and there was also some small packaged pastries, and fresh coffee. We stayed here a few years ago and not much has changed. Room was great just don’t count on eating much at the free breakfast.

They were awesome great service all around!!! Jane and Ron and another gentleman!!! Free cookies once we arrived. Room was real nice and clean. Also a side note they went over and above helping us our Car key fob went dead no way to move it from across the street at Ocean view we went to the local stores no batteries. Took a chance and asked Jane if she knows any stores in Cambria that would have batteries so I can take a Uber to Cambria she said don't worry about it I have batteries wow so cool didn't even charge us !!! What a life saver👍 this hotel is my go too hotel going forward.
