We had a room with an ocean view and the property was very serene. The only thing missing that would have made our stay perfect was a balcony to enhance the view.

Loved the location of property, property does need a bit of wrk on exterior. Front desk service was not bad but not great just because we had requested a king bed and got a queen so we asked for a roll away bed or cod but never got a response or reply back. I hate to write negative things but this was just out experience other than that you can’t ask for a better beach from location literally across the st from the beach.

Fogcatcher was a nice little stay for 2 nights for my partner and I. I should have read the property listing better because I didn't notice there was no air conditioning. During the day the room was really hot but the front desk had a fan thankfully. The spa and fire pit were really lovely.

This property was so cute right in moonstone beach. Our room was cozy and clean and perfect for our night in Cambria. The pool and hot tub even had a view of the ocean. Just walk across the road and there’s a beautiful boardwalk along the beach perfect for a morning or evening stroll. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful location, quiet,right on Moonstone Beach. Friendly, helpful staff. Easy walk to Moonstone Bar and Grill. Mini fridge and fireplace in room were nice. Could use an update, windows wouldn't all stay open (push up windows) and sills were dirty. Beds sagged in the middle but were decent. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Some rooms are a bit outdated but it’s also across from the ocean. Lots of wear and tear. I’ve stayed there many times but this last visit was horrendous and the staff was terrible. Unfortunately,on Sat night 7/27 we were running late for check in. I was confident it was ok as most hotels have office hours until at least 10p. Still on the road, we get a phone call that no one would be checking us in. Office closing at 9pm due to staff shortage. Mind you, the courtesy call was 20mins before 9pm. The staff member asked us to go check in at the sister hotel- ocean point ranch. Ok. He informed us, no one would be available at Fogcatcher until 11a the next day. I also asked if we could request late check out? The staff member said yes, to call office at 11. Ok! On our way and if you know how dark Cambria is… ocean point is further down. Fine we did it. I will until almost 11a the next morning. The gal on the phone clearly stated no. So unapologetically apologized. I’d rather her hang up on me to be honest. I then go to the office to check out and again. I told her what had happened and no form of empathy whatsoever. It was almost like she did not believe mme. She mentioned only two people are allowed late check out a day. Then told me to have a nice day. Again. No sincere apology. Not even, in sorry but I will inform the manager. Nothing this was not ok. At this point… I no longer cared about getting an extra 1 hour to check out. Really about customer service. Never again FCI

We had a pleasant but short stay at the FogCatcher, as the half-way point of a Pacific Coast Highway drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Cambria is lovely, and the FogCatcher is one of a dozen motel/inns offering the same set-up, directly across the street from the stony beach and ocean. Two issues took the FogCatcher down a star: 1. We checked in at 845pm without incident, and were given a laminated page with all the restaurants in the area, their cuisines, and closing times. There must have been 30 of them, in small 10-point font. We took this to our room, but by the time we were ready to order, it was 9:15pm. Uh-uh. Everything closed at 9:00pm. Except for one place open until 11:00pm on every day but Tuesday, the day we were there. I was annoyed that the somebody didn't say something when we checked in, something as effortless as “oh and by the way, all 30 of these restaurants close in 15 minutes, on the off-chance you’re thinking of eating dinner.” It would have saved us much grief. So word to the wise on that. 2. Breakfast was also stressful. The FogCatcher strongly recommended their “sister” motel, the Cow Tipper, promising breakfast in their restaurant or delivered to the FogCatcher with a phone call. In the morning I opted to visit in person, but after waiting 25 minutes for my single breakfast burrito, I had to ask for it to go. I can’t imagine it being delivered! Lots of other breakfast options there in Cambria - most with a view, so try them instead.
