We stay here each time we’re in Cambria each time. Staff is friendly. Location is perfect. Ocean view rooms are amazing. Love the fireplaces. A suite upgrade is worth it if you plan on spending at least half the time in the room. Lots of small business zone shops and restaurants very close. There’s so much to do around the area and within a short drive. It is the perfect beachfront location.
