It's been quite awhile since I've stayed at Moonstone Landing. I was excited to come back and see if anything has changed. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, just as I remembered. The rooms themselves looked like they had been renovated. The bed was comfy. There was a huge wall in shower and jacuzzi tub. The old school fridge was super cute! Of course, you can't beat the views from the oceanfront balcony room!
We have stayed at other places on Moonstone Beach in past years. We decided to try a different property and the reviews looked inviting. We had room 101 which is on the first floor ocean front. Parking was convenient, right next to our room. The room has a perfect view of the ocean. The patio has 2 chairs and a table. The room had plenty of chairs, a comfortable bed, mini refrigerator, walk in shower and a large bathroom vanity. The fireplace took the chill off at night. Complementary continental self-serve breakfast is served in the reception area and an outdoor patio is also available. There is a hot tub but we did not use it. The only down side is that we could hear the people in the second floor room above us walking. This was a little annoying.
Fantastic clean hotel on moonstone beach. We stayed in a king partial view room upstairs, #216. The room got fairly hot in January. Rooms on the Sea Chest Oyster Bar restaurant side (which this one was) seem to get more sun, so they are warmer. It cooled down at night, but not enough to use the gas fireplace. We didn't notice any restaurant noise, and we were able to hear the ocean all night, which was lovely. In the morning they serve pastries and muffins and coffee which were all delicious. The bed was very comfortable, and we got a good nights sleep. It's just so wonderful to be directly on moonstone beach where you can walk on the path and see the stunning ocean. There are also stairs taking you down to the beach. The Sea Chest Oyster bar is super popular with people lining up to get in long before it opens. We were able to get in about an hour after we put our name down and the food was delicious. Cash only. There are other restaurants within walking distance and one night we ate in town at the Sow's Ear, which was also delicious. Would happily return to Moonstone Landing!
We stopped in Cambria for a night to break up a long drive home. I tried seeing reviews of hotels on my phone's small screen the night before and morning of booking my room. We needed an ADA room, with 2 beds, and no stairs, as my mother can't bend her knees well, and can't do stairs. She is not in a wheelchair, but does need bars in the bathroom, and a walk-in shower (not a tub that you have to climb over), and preferably a higher toilet, not the extremely low ones that many hotels have, which is difficult for anyone that has height to them, has bad knees, etc. We were extremely happy with our room! We got an ADA room with 2 Queen beds and a partial ocean view. My suggestion: if you love ocean views, but are getting a partial view, you might just go with a regular view and walk down to see the ocean. It is a small amount of ocean that you will see, and if foggy, as it was in October, it's not worth paying extra for the small amount of view. Ocean front may be a different story; especially if staying several days, and maybe partial views closer to the front of the building. In our case, we were mainly interested in the ADA (handicap enabled) room, but would have taken the best view we could get, but paying extra for our partial view was not worth extra cost. Our room was very spacious, comfortable, and had a lot of charm. The bathroom had a beautiful tub with a seat, and a raised portion that someone with some mobility might be able to sit on and swing their legs over (not the case with my mother). The toilet had bars and was a good 4 - 5 inches higher than a standard toilet - exactly what is needed for anyone with height, bad knees, arthritis, etc. Not sure if that is more difficult with a wheelchair. While my mother was not able to use the shower in the tub, due to bad knees, the toilet (higher height) was the best of the 4 hotels we stayed at this month, including an exclusive resort. An important feature for many. Our room was near the office on the 2nd floor, (#218), however, the hotel is on a hill, so you can access the 2nd floor & office from the raised parking lot in the back, without doing any stairs. Our room had a fireplace, a table with 4 chairs near a window with our partial ocean view, a coffee maker, 2 large glass bottles filled with water, and a nice-sized fridge. They had 2 luggage racks, which also seems to be a rarity in hotel rooms these days. The room had comfortable arm chair with a reading light, which is very nice, as some of the luxury hotel rooms we had stayed in recently had no ability to read in the room, due to the lighting. There is a nice breakfast in the office in the morning. They have yogurt, cereal, Danish (from Linn's Restaurant in town), bananas, other fruit, hard boiled eggs, tea & coffee, etc. There were a couple of men exclaiming about the wonderful taste of the coffee (from SLO). It is in the office, and there are some tables outdoors, as well, on the patio, where there is also a hot tub surrounded by plexi-glass, to keep the wind away. There is a cute fountain of a wine bottle pouring wine into a glass. They had some Halloween decorations up when we were there, along with a bowl of candy on the counter. For a relatively small hotel, they had quite a few little extras that were nice. Our room was near the office and breakfast, and we heard a lot of noise in the morning, likely of the people going in for some breakfast. Otherwise, it was quiet during the night. Overall, we were more than happy with our room. It felt clean, very comfortable, and very spacious, with many nice touches. I would definitely come back to this hotel to stay.
Wonderful location, especially the ocean front rooms. Right on Moonstone Drive across from Moonstone Beach and adjacent to the Sea Chest Oyster Bar. Highly recommend the ocean front rooms, otherwise you may just get a peekaboo view, maybe. Comfortable accommodations with a fireplace, two comfy lounge chairs, dining table and chairs, fridge, microwave and a nice sizable bathroom with jetted tub and separate shower. Downsides included a full on ant attack of our snacks bag (bummer!), a super janky hard-to-use "disappearing" screen door to the patio, a property jacuzzi that was definitely an afterthought with no view and awkwardly positioned outside of the property office in the back, and a less than mediocre continental breakfast offering.
The hotel was super convenient being right across the street from the beach. The room was clean and it was really nice to have a fireplace as the heating source for the room. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the mini fridge in the room kept turning on and making a noise all through the night and woke me up each time it went off.
It is one of the most beautiful places in all of California. If you're looking for a quiet beach to walk and reflect, this is the place for you. I've been here every season and enjoyed everything Moonstone Beach and Moonstone Landing offer. In my opinion, this is a must-visit location for everyone.

Really enjoyed this hotel for a quick trip up to cambria. Booked a "partial ocean view" room and it was amazing. Competent, attentive and friendly staff. Got a good recommendation for dinner in town and all you have to do is walk 2 minutes across the street for beautiful views. Close to hearst castle as well as cayucos, morro bay, and san luis obispo. Will definitely be back here. Literally right across the street from the ocean. Great place to get away. read more

Will be leaving in the morning after having spent five nights in Room 101. Housekeeping was excellent. Pillows suck; we should have brought our own. My neck is killing me. This is a motel, meaning room doors open to the outside. Watching some of the people who walked into the parking lot, I wished our door had a swing bar on it -- a suggestion I made in my last review. The rooms also need a lighted makeup mirror and a safe. Having stayed here a couple of times, we knew we'd find one luggage rack. With two suitcases, we decided to bring our luggage rack from home with us. What a pleasant surprise to find that there were two luggage racks in our closet! They have upgraded their breakfast option. I noticed that, instead of pre-packaged store-bought muffins, they now have a selection of muffins from Linn's Restaurant & Bakery. That's definitely an improvement. The room needs maintenance: touch up paint is needed through-out and there are big cracks in the bathroom floor. Mary, about whom I've raved in past reviews, has passed; therefore, I didn't get the warm welcome that I've come to expect from Mary. But, that's life: no one gets out alive. read more

This room exceeded all our expectations, and our expectations were pretty high based on reading prior reviews. The room was extremely spacious, incredibly clean, and ultra comfy. Perfect, soft, sink-your-head-into-the-pillows and an extremely comfortable mattress. Lovely fireplace, and each room definitely has a great ocean view. WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, and the only bad part was that we only planned for one night. THIS is the kind of place to stay longer. I've stayed at the Blue Dolphin, Sand Pebbles, and each time, I've said how great the room is, and they really were, but I always like to try new places. As great as the others were, THIS room at Moonstone Landing will get us to make a return visit HERE, and that's a PROMISE !! Love, love, love Cambria, and love this room even more !! We stayed on the 2nd floor in room 210. read more
Moonstone Landing, One of the best places to stay in Moonstone Beach. First and foremost, it's family friendly! I booked a lower-level oceanfront room which easily accommodated my family of 4. The room space was ample enough to set up a travel crib if you have a one year old like I do. Room also has small fridge, microwave..everything about Moonstone Landing is welcoming, clean and just so chill -including the staff! Now that I got that out of the way, let me get into detailing the full ocean view from the patio in one word, Amazing! read more

The moment we walked in the room and saw the view (Room 203, upstairs middle) our jaws dropped as you could see the ocean from the extremely large back door. The room was extremely large with plenty of space for walking around and the two indoor lounge chairs for when its nippy outside you can relax indoors and still enjoy the ocean. Why only 4 stars? The only down fall was the ants we had in the room that seemed to be mostly in the bathroom, but they seemed to move around the room if you had something on the floor and moved the ants moved also. They were like tiny kitchen ants but they were all over the sink and we had to move towels and leave our bathroom items out on the table and for the view we just put up with them. Staff tried getting rid of them but they never left. On our next trip we will still request upstairs ocean view!! What a location!! Update: They did give us a credit for the inconvenience which we did not request, customer service right there! read more

Moonstone Landing exceeded my expectations. The room was spacious, clean & comfortable but the best part was the view! We had a patio room directly across from the ocean & it was exactly what I needed. We were able to sleep with the sliding glass door open a bit (there was a security bar in place so we felt safe about it) & listened to the sound of the ocean. The heat source in the room was an electric fireplace which definitely added to the ambiance. I honestly didn't want to leave. read more

Clean, relaxing, clean. Request one of the five upper level ocean view rooms. Worth every penny to have the ocean practically inside. Rooms are spacious, with gas fireplace as primary heat source (on thermostat). We slept so well. Also, THIS PLACE IS SPOTLESS. They take cleaning seriously here, including care for the glass balconies. Continental breakfast was simple but satisfying. Outside is the ocean-front boardwalk and perfect for multiple daily strolls. Downtown Cambria is a little farther (+/-0.9mi), but walkable. Highly recommend. read more

I can't believe there is a better spot to stay in Cambria. The location is perfect for gorgeous views of the sea. Lucky for us, we reserved a room in the front, which must have been the best one in terms of views and privacy, room 201, although any along the front would be great. The room is huge, includes a mini fridge, small microwave and a coffee maker. There is a large dining table with 4 comfortable chairs. There are also 2 large comfy leather chairs with a foot stool, perfect if it is a bit nippy to sit outside but still catch the amazing views. The king sized bed is super comfy. This room has a large whirlpool tub. There is a fireplace in the room. And, directly across the street is where the locals surf, so we spent a lot of time watching them. One morning a dolphin joined them for a few minutes! A few words about the Covid precautions they are taking: The office where you check in is limited to one person at a time. Check out and any room service you need is done over the phone. No daily cleaning, no whirlpool, no breakfast. The room was very clean with extra sheets over the mattress, over the comforter and so on. The walls of the room facing the ocean are mostly huge windows, but there are great black out shades. Also an excellent screen in the sliding glass door if you want some air but don't want to keep the door open. I hope to return to this exact room for another relaxing stay in Cambria in the future! read more

We are frequent visitors to Cambria. On our last visit we did not have a pleasant experience at our usual hotel so decided to stay somewhere new. We are so glad we did. This hotel is great. The ladies at the front desk checking in and checking out where both very friendly and nice. The 2nd floor ocean front room was fabulous! Spacious, awesome tub, awesome view, comfortable bed, and fridge The complimentary continental breakfast was nice and had many choices. We have found our new place to stay in Cambria! Rooms clean, staff friendly, free breakfast and an ocean view..yes, please. Already made reservations for next year! read more

I've stayed at over a dozen places in Cambria and all of them have pros and cons. Moonstone Landing has been the best place I've stayed at so far and honestly don't have any cons. Perfect view, excellent service, huge spotless room, huge spotless bathroom, big flat screen TV, great service. It's adjacent to the Sea Chest restaurant. I've stayed all over Moonstone Beach and even though every hotel is right on the water not every "ocean view" is the same. Some hotels have parking lots right in front of your view or there's a giant tree. Here it's 100% unobstructed beauty. This is the first hotel I've stayed at with hardwood floors. No mysterious stains in the carpet just shiny floors that were cleaned daily. I even dropped something and had to look under the bed and there wasn't a dust bunny in sight. The room had black-out accordion style blinds too which were a nice touch. Patio door was screened with a broom stick to lock it in place if you wanted to leave it open a crack at night to hear the ocean. The bathroom was gigantic with a HUGE walk-in shower and a HUGE Jacuzzi tub. Like the rest of the room it was spotless. No nasty mildew or old nasty caulking. They have a continental breakfast in the morning but since I didn't want to waste the calories I never once visited it. I did though take advantage of their free coffee which was available until 8pm. They also have stemware for red wine, white wine, and champagne in a cabinet above the coffee. We drank wine on our porch every night so it was much appreciated! Parking was never an issue and the free wi-fi was decent. I've been coming to Cambria for at least 18 years now and every time I visit I pick a new place to stay. I think I'll be stopping that habit and stick with Moonstone Landing. It was truly the perfect stay! read more

Pet friendly, Are dogs allowed?
No ac lots of fans but it gets really hot in March?
Are there bike rental places nearby?
Do the rooms have air conditioning?
I don't believe so but I've been there all types of weather and you will never need it. There is a beautiful breeze that always blows on Moonstone Beach and it cools down the rooms if it happens to be warm that day. Plus, you can hear the waves. A++
Did anyone find the oceanfront rooms to be noisy with the street being so close?
Not at all. The ocean is, it can be, louder- in a good way! The street is not a busy one.
