The property is close to shops and restaurants. I would have preferred a walk-in shower with a bench seat for the “Accessible” room instead of a shower/tub combination. The room was clean with very soft mattresses. Parking area is well lit at night.

Have stayed at this property many times. It is convenient to the east village, easy parking, comfortable beds and nice balconies on the 2nd floor. The front desk attendant was super friendly this stay and helpful. My only concerns this visit were the cleanliness of the room (there are noticible scuffs on all the walls and build up in some areas that make it feel worn/not clean/dusty, the carpet looked visibly dirty and the room had a distinct smell when we arrived). When I went to the ice maker with the ice bucket provided, it had a worn sign on it that said "out of order" and it appeared to be out of order for some length of time (which begs the question, why provide an ice bucket?). I like staying here so I really hope the owners will work on deep cleaning and get the ice maker fixed or replaced.

Very convenient location, walkable to the east side of Main Street. Room was clean and as promised and the balcony view was lovely overlooking the creek, hills and trees. Bed was confortable. Only one car per room is allowed, so since we were friends meeting up for a "moms weekend " one of us had to park on the street but that worked out fine. Inn keeper was nice. Would definitely stay again.

This was a relatively enjoyable stay, I would definitely stay here again. The staff are wonderful! I called the day before with questions and, when I arrived, the office clerk greeted me by name before I could tell her who I was. She said, "I was so worried that you were going to arrive after I left for the day. I was looking forward to meeting you!" What a wonderful way to begin a trip! I felt so welcomed. I will be back! <3 The parking was plentiful, and the property is conveniently located near the downtown area. The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable I have slept on in a hotel in a very long time (I usually hate hotel pillows!). I slept like a baby each night until my upstairs neighbor arrived and stomped around each morning, waking me up. The only downsides are that the ice machine kept breaking down so I had to spend $8 for a bag of ice at the local store, the water pressure in the shower is very low. Also, I paid extra for the garden view, which turned out to be a sloping hill area with foliage. It was not what I expected as I anticipated a view of a beautiful, colorful garden while reading and drinking morning coffee. Those minor issues aside, it is a good value for the area and a wonderful stay.

Was kind of disappointed that there wasn’t enough staff to keep things running. Especially in cleaning room. I did appreciate friendly reception and pricing. After the 2nd day room didn’t smell as fresh. If they worked on maybe getting one more person to help out instead of one person doing everything, then maybe the rating would be better.

Location was awesome for walking into town, but it was so quiet. We went to the beach, but it was windy and cold, so we went back and sat on our balcony and read, it was perfect. Room was clean and seemed to have been updated recently and the beds, so comfortable. Have stayed at several places in Cambria and this is my favorite!

FYI - doing the “balcony” room does not mean it will be a second floor room. All the first floor rooms across the back of the property have a balcony since the hotel sits on the edge overlooking the creek. The rear of the downstairs room are about 6 feet above the grade in the back. I only booked the balcony because I wanted to guarantee a room above, since I hate having people on the floor directly above me, but it didn’t work in this case.

OMG! We loved this cute little hotel!! Clean and loved the fact we had a great view of the back forest area and the actual creak lol! We love hearing the frogs at night and the cows during the day! Seriously would recommend staying here. The room was spacious, bed was comfortable and included all the right amenities. The only negative thing which is why we didn’t give 5 Stars is because of the shower. There was NO pressure. The shower head looked old and probably needs to be replaced. Other than that everything was great!!!!

WARNING: The shower pan in our room was so slick when wet that my 73-year-old mother nearly fell, and I did fall and bruised my knee and foot. We reported it to management and were told that there should’ve been a shower mat in there, but the cleaning person must not have remembered to put it back. I kind of felt like we were getting a brush off. This is an extremely dangerous situation. There is nothing to grab onto and I ripped the shower curtain off the pole as I fell. Please make sure when you check into your room that the bathroom has a rubber mat for the shower floor.

Overall, it was a good value for the quality of the room. We would definetly stay here again.

Our reservation somehow was changed from a king to a queen. Management was not empathetic or nice about the situation. She had a king available and refused to accommodate. She also suggested us to find another place to stay knowing the rest of the town was booked. Also insinuated indirectly that we had a pet when we didn't. Customer service did not exist here! We come up every year for the holiday, and WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!!

Notified the hotel that we had a registered service animal ahead of time at the time of booking. We were treated rather rudely when we showed up with our service animal at the time of check-in. Was questioned about when and how I contacted the hotel. I had to show proof that I did send many hours ahead of time. Was asked what the service animal did and was basically told that it was not a valid reason to have a service animal when, indeed it is. I have all the documentation with me at all times.

Room was very nicely updated and well cleaned. Bed was comfortable. For one night is was fine. However, there were some hiccups with our stay that would make me think twice before here staying again. Front desk agent was working two properties at the same time and each time we went to front office she was not there to assist. Cleaning lady was having to guide people and call the front desk person several times to get a hold of her to come back. The power went out on the last morning of our stay, with no staff on property to acknowledge the issue. Although it did the job, the price you pay is not cheap to have no staff on site or use of amenities.

Will not be going back, we are contacting hotel with complaints, they need to credit our room.
