Prima voor een nachtje. De bedden lagen heerlijk. Leuk om een terrasje voor de deur te hebben..

Cons:

Beetje gedateerd en het ontbijt was niet meer dan een appel en stukje cake, maar je kan overal lekker ontbijten..

Nice view but no AC
Pros:

Location is good, right on moonstone beach. it is a transit hotel for us coming from carmel to LA. the room is very nice and spacious but no AC, fortunately we arrived at night, so we just keep the patio door open for the whole night.
Be careful of the pricing of the hotel too, i booked 2 months ago and it cost 450 usd and i decided to add extra room on the day of the check in and it cost half.

What a cute, quaint property with a solid location near the ocean. Just had some really mild negatives that didn’t effec
Pros:

Great location at moonstone beach plus lots of parking. Room was pretty big and loved having a fireplace too. Even though we couldn’t get it to fully turn off - a small blue flame continuously was there. But we really loved that it was dog friendly which was a big factor on staying here!

Cons:

Our tv wouldn’t work, there was something wrong with the connection/accessing any channels or streaming services. We didn’t opt for assistance because it was only during bedtime that we tried to use it. The hallway entry doors slamming was a little bit bothersome. Checked out the breakfast our first morning and it was ok.

Complimentary breakfast, great location
Pros:

Stayed here for one evening as a stop over on the way from San Fran to LA. This hotel is opposite the beach, and a close walk to nearby bars and restaurants. Rooms equipped, spacious and clean. Check in was easy. Breakfast included, which was porridge pots, granola bars, coffee and some cakes. The choice was limited however this was a nice touch being complimentary. Pool big enough, and quiet.

A wonderful Cambria hotel overlooking beautiful moonstone beach!
Pros:

This is a wonderful hotel overlooking moonstone Beach and the Boardwalk. Large clean rooms that appeared to be newly remodeled- the pool is nice and warm and it has a small clubhouse. Several restaurants right down the street.

A great place for a getaway with the spouse!!!

ALL VIEW, no service!
Pros:

The view and location is amazing. But other places that might have your room ready on time have this too. They might also have wine glasses and a decent morning spread to start your day.
