    Sunset from Room 101
    Gerry W.

    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.

    ADA Room 218: extra high toilet great for height, bad knees, etc.
    Barbara S.

    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.

    This is a view of the ocean on a semi-cloudy day, with blue skies and clear water.

    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.

    Morning walk 1/5/25.  Beautiful scenery less than 5 minutes from my room!
    Gary C.

    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.

    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.

    This is a swing bar.

    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.

    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.

LOVE the Aesop products in the room!!! a few downside during my stay were: the few times i went to the front desk, the "out of office" sign was up each time. i wanted to rent a bike to bike around the town, no one was around to assist. i waited about 10-15m each time. they have a fire pit that was on the entire time. i heard they provide s'more kits, but we were not provided with any. there isnt really any pet relief area on site. also, all units do not have AC, only fans. i had no service while i was there. i literally was on SOS. i actually loved it. don't worry, there is wifi avail! i would def book white water again!

This property is owned by a company that owns at least four other properties on Moonstone Beach, and shares with them poor customer service. Examples from a recent stay include Wi-Fi that was frequently nonfunctional, and when complaints were made, we were told either that the problem couldn't be fixed, or couldn't be fixed until the next day because no maintenance staff were available. The rooms, lack decor and character, although the bed was very comfortable. When we asked that the waste baskets be emptied at the beginning of the day, we were told that since we did not make that request the night before, it could not be accommodated because of insufficient custodial staff. When I made this request to the manager on duty, she gave me a look as though I had asked her to donate a kidney. We emptied the baskets ourselves. The property has two fire pits, both of which were essentially nonfunctional. Also, the pool was closed. When they ran our credit card on check-in, they actually immediately charged the entire fee for the stay at once. This is an unusual practice, since most similar properties assess the actual charges for the room at checkout. If you were looking for a place to sleep, steps away from the boardwalk on Moonstone Beach, this will fit the bill, but there are a number of better options steps away from this property.

Unfortunately, our recent stay was a very different experience. Major mold problem in room 815 Stay: May 1st-3rd, 2026. On the final morning of our stay, we discovered what appeared to be black mold above the shower. Because my parents are immunocompromised, we immediately packed up and left. We reported the issue to the front desk at checkout, and the staff member said he would inform management. As of Monday at 1:26 p.m., we have not received any follow-up. Overall, the property has significantly declined and is in need of major updates. The handrails leading to the building were broken and unstable. The furniture is very outdated, and the beds were extremely firm and uncomfortable compared to what we remembered. Several features required maintenance fireplaces were difficult to operate, our front door would not close properly, and our key cards stopped working after the first day, leaving us with only one functioning key despite following all handling instructions. The restaurant experience was inconsistent. Friday night was excellent, but on Saturday there appeared to be a change in chef and bartender, and the food preparation differed noticeably from the menu (for example, the mushrooms). Service, however, was good on both nights. Due to the serious health concern of discovering mold in our room, the lack of follow-up from management after reporting it, and the overall decline in the property's condition and maintenance, we do not feel comfortable returning. Issues with safety, such as broken handrails and a door that would not properly close, along with inconsistent amenities and service, made this stay far below our expectations. What was once a place we loved and looked forward to revisiting no longer meets a standard we can trust, especially when traveling with vulnerable family members.

We booked three rooms (8, 19, and 21). All were decent in size, though lighting varied. Room 8 was the darkest, while Room 19 had the brightest natural light.
