We stayed in this place several times throughout the years and just loved it, but this time we’re so disappointed! The room has no charm like before, the bathroom and shower is just ok. The only worse thing about the room is there’s no heater! To heat the room is fire place and you can’t use the fireplace in the evening while you sleep because the light comes from the fireplace is So Bright, so very cold while you sleep. But the best place about the hotel is The location! Wow, right at the beach, beautiful!

We were told to keep it a secret...
Room had a beautiful backlit vanity mirror but unfortunately lights flickered so much it made the lights useless. I would have loved the light up huge mirror to work making it easier for makeup application instead of overhead lights. A Woman checking in before us stated she loves the place I can see why, it has a great location to boardwalk along the coastline best enjoyed during a morning or sunset walk. The boardwalk also had a few benches along the trail to sit and watch the sunset, I would recommend staying there when you visit Cambria for this reason alone. Rooms include the fake fireplace for heat, small closet/mini kitchen with microwave and small fridge no freezer though. Room also offers Lather bath products. I had never heard of the product line but ended up loving how my hair felt and smelled all day so much that I looked up to see if you could purchase online and you can! I'm excited to have the hotels products at home. Also about the secret ---a we met a lady at the boardwalk while sitting on bench watching the sunset, she told us she has traveled here often and loves to visit she said this was an awesome place we agreed with her then she told us to keep it (Cambria) a secret, it quite literally is a gem. I'm glad my husband said he wanted to stay at this hotel it really made our stay feel special for our our 8th Anniversary. We can't wait to stay at FogCatcher soon we even started looking at future dates before even checking out. Book this place don't cheap out.
