Very impressed with how clean it was, and the employees were very friendly. Very walkable to the beach, and close proximity to the town. TVs also had great channels and access to Netflix. Rooms were very spacious and the front office had complimentary cookies, coffee, and tea.

Location is perfect. We did not receive breakfast. The pool and jacuzzi were both closed. They should let guests know. They’ll be out of service for some months.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The breakfast wasn’t included due to going through Expedia. Wendy was rude about going through Expedia and would not even help me with a mistake that was made in scheduling. She really shouldn’t be in hospitality. Doug knew something was up because he stayed to witness this interaction and let his colleague continue to be rude!

There were no designated areas for pets or smokers. I know smoking is not favored in Cambria, but most hotels have designated areas for pets and smokers. Also, the bed was terrible, hard as the floor.

Very rude staff. The booking said breakfast included. When I asked front desk about it was told since I booked thru 3rd party we didn’t get breakfast.Next night went down the street and stayed at Sand Pebble Inn, booked thru 3rd party again and breakfast was included. Went up the entire coast of CA booking thru 3rd party and got breakfast at everyone one except the Sea Otter Inn. Pretty bad considering how much the room cost!!!

Nice place!

Place is very nice. The room was clean and very large. Two features really important to us — walk-in shower and hypo-allergenic bedding. It’s a little dated, but I’ll take that over some of the marginal places we have stayed on Moonstone Beach.
