We had a wonderful time from the moment we checked in until we left…Thank you for ordering 3 full days of sunshine for us! The breakfast basket idea was a great start to everyday. We loved the way that guests mixed and mingled in the lovely garden with seating and tables.

Exceptional hospitality

We actually did not get to go on this trip as we were unfortunately evacuated because of the LA fires. However, I have stayed here many times before and have always had an amazing experience and exceptional stay, which is why we always come back. Huge thank you to the staff for allowing us to change our plans seamlessly, their hospitality is what sets Cambria shores in apart from many other options of places to stay.

This is an adorable and well maintained motel. Their staff is friendly and helpful. We received complimentary glasses of wine and the charcuterie board we ordered was very nice. Love the chairs they have out front where you can relax and watch the sunset. It’s right across the street from the ocean. Will definitely come back.

We loved everything about Cambria shores; Spacious room, comfortable beds, large tv, room darkening blinds, picnic basket breakfast, specialty coffee in lobby area and wine ($), cookies and brownies in the lobby as well, friendly staff. The location is perfect, across from boardwalk and expansive ocean views from the Adirondack chairs on the lawn. Definitely recommend- also is pet friendly so you get to see some great dogs.

Beautiful little Inn. A hidden gem with spectacular views and quiet ambiance. From the homemade brownies in the office to the informal wine tasting on the deck, I can’t imagine staying anywhere else along the central coast.
