Stayed for 2 nights, had a lovely time! The view is exceptional, the rooms were clean and spacious: with high ceilings and comfy beds. The area is quiet and there’s plenty of parking, and the boardwalk has a breathtaking view that anyone can enjoy. Overall, this hotel was perfect for our trip to Cambria!

Upgraded to King Suite which was on lower level with a room above. Footfalls from above were noisy in the late night & early morning. Suggest rugs upstairs rather than hard floors which wake guests below.

Across the street from a beautiful beach, we enjoyed easy check in, and a comfortable room with a fireplace. Enjoyed the hot tub and sitting area next to it with a fire in the evening. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. There was only a small coffee machine in the room but it was a short walk to a coffee shop with seating on the patio or outside.

Wonderful and Amazing Staff. Room and the Inn is super clean. Access to the beach. There is a pool and a spa on the property. You can find harmony and peace being that close to the beach. Amazing place and location to relief the stress from the fast paced workplace.

We spent two nights at the FogCatcher Inn. First here are the great things; 1. Can't beat the location. Our upgraded room faced the ocean and all the comes with it, the views, the roar of the waves, the gorgeous sunsets and sunrise. 2. Large room with a comfortable king size bed. 3. Large bathroom with enough counter space for everything. Here are the not so great things: 1. Upon checking in, we were told the pool was not in service. This is something the hotel should share when making reservations, not when you are at the front desk, and after you've paid. 2. The shower in the bathroom is so weak because they are using a water-saver shower head. The trouble is, instead of saving water, you have to shower twice as long in order to wash all the soap and shampoo off. 3. The blinds in the hotel room were all tangled and unusable. Not so bad during the day, but a pain in the neck at night as headlights from the cars passing by shine through as they pass. The hotel is pricy, and I don't mind paying a higher price for a great room. IMO, except for the wonderful ocean view, I think we overpaid for what we got. Would I stay there again? Probably yes, if for nothing more than an unbelievable view and a predictable room.

King suite was spacious. Bathroom good. Mini-kitchenette served its purpose. Property needs a little TLC and updating. Fabrics on all seating in unit was stained. Scuff marks on some furniture made it look dirty. 2 of the windows needed props to keep them slid open.
