Our room did NOT look as good as the one in the picture when I booked through Travelocity. The room smelled musty, linens are average, bed skirt was ripped and the TV is cable only that seems to be stuck in the 1990's. It was hard to open the two front windows and when my husband did, there was dust caked on the window sill. The fridge has no freezer section for ice packs. We won't be staying here again. Getting tired of hotels that charge a lot of money for a bait & switch photo.

Pleasant small facility across from beach. There s a small restaurant near by that the facility was promoting but guests said it was not a good choice. Nothing else nearby. A 30 minute walk along a beach path to “town”. Cambria is a pleasant town with a few interesting shops but only 1 main coffee shop that was very busy.

Not the best

Room is dirty. I had to clean the bath tub and we found small bugs here and there. The staff is almost non existent Any service like extra towels / blankets I had to walk to the front desk to get. ( not a huge deal but I found it odd)

No daily service, and in need of updates

Overall our stay was fine. We were notified a day before our trip that there would not be daily house keeping unless specifically requested. For the price, it seems the least they could do was empty trash and check on towels. The pool was very much in need of repair. We cut our feet on peel plaster on the floor of the pool. The fire pit area needed cleaning. Our first night we went to do s’mores, and the fire pit area was covered in crumbs and detritus. Two afternoons in a row there were no towels available at the pool area. The second fire pit with a beach view was not working. The Fog Catcher in was just in need of updates. Our room had an almost broken faucet handle. Clearly visible mold in the bathroom. The chairs in the room need new padding as they are flat. And it would have been nice to have trash emptied, but we did it ourselves. Just seems like for the price you pay, a little service would have been nice.
Pool plaster in need of attention.  We cut our feet on it.

We had a room with a full ocean view, which was lovely. The room was very nice, and everything was clean except for the windows, especially the windows in the bathroom. We wanted to open the windows a bit, but the screens were cakes with dirt, so we kept them closed.
