Unless you plan on pulling all-nighters, I don't recommend this place. I got very little sleep both…read morenights due to hearing the people walking above me past midnight. A call to the night manager Friday night did nothing to stop it. But at the same time, it's not as if they were partying or shouting. They were simply walking around, and I was unlucky enough to be in the room below them in a place that clearly wasn't built to be a hotel. I've stayed in countless hotels with people above me, and this is the first time in my life that I've paid them any mind or had the urge to report a noise complaint. Which again...they were just walking, which they technically have a right to do, despite how annoying it was to me at the time. The room was a bit overpriced to begin with, so this only made me regret that much more. Two stars instead of one since the property was still nice with a prime location. But if you have your heart set on this place, book a room on the second floor. Other reviews show that I'm not the first person to have this issue.

Decided to stay at Sea Otter since they allow dogs and have one Tesla EV charger to charge my Tesla. The pluses....Provides breakfast every morning delivered in a cute picnic basket at your door. The breakfast burritos are delicious, big and filling. Easy check-in with a welcome cookie at the front desk. Entry to the room is with a 4 digit code. There are 3 EV (one a Tesla charger) charging spaces. One charger wasn't working. Overall it was quiet at night. Plenty of guest parking. Great location across from Moonstone Beach. Easy check out via a link provided on check out day. Negatives.....The pool and jaccuzi wereclosed during our stay, although we could use an adjacent property. The bathroom vanity and towel rack were scratched and looked terrible. The room was on the dark side even with the curtains open. Neither Plus or Negative.....no maid service during your entire stay, however you can request clean towels during your stay.

A very cozy boutique hotel right on Moonstone Beach…read more I love staying here for three main reasons: the oceanfront location, the in-room hot tub, and the fact that my dogs are welcome. A handful of the bungalow-style rooms feel wonderfully private and come with their own patios, giving our pups a sunny spot to lounge. It's perfect for us. The beach sits directly across the street, and you can walk to a few nearby restaurants. Hearst Castle is only seven miles away. The suite we book has a partial ocean view, fireplace, and a whirlpool tub right in the bedroom. It's incredibly romantic. Amenities include continental breakfast, parking, and WiFi. If you're traveling with pets, there's a $75 non-refundable fee. If I had to point out an area for improvement, it would be updating all the rooms as some feel fresher than others. Even so, our stays are very comfortable, and I feel safe here. A big plus: the pet friendly rooms have no odor whatsoever.

We stayed at Cambria Landing Inn for two nights and unfortunately left pretty disappointed…read more Check-in is at FogCatcher Inn, where there was only one woman working the front desk for multiple properties. We did have to wait because she was constantly helping other guests and answering phone calls, but I want to make it clear that she was wonderful. She was incredibly kind, patient, and professional despite being pulled in every direction. It honestly seemed like she was doing the job of several people, and I felt bad for how overwhelmed she was. When we got to our room, the first thing we noticed was the incredible ocean view. It was beautiful and definitely the best part of our stay. Unfortunately, the room itself was a different story. It had a very strong musty smell that made it feel old and unclean, and there were several stains on the carpet. To make things even more surprising, there was a live lizard in our room when we first walked in. We love animals, so we carefully caught it and let it back outside, but it's definitely not something you expect to find in your hotel room. That evening, after taking a shower, the humidity caused what looked like a blood stain near the top of the shower curtain to become visible. Neither of us had been bleeding, and it was nowhere near where either of us would have touched, so it was pretty disturbing. By that point the front desk had already closed, and knowing how busy the woman at check-in had been all day, we decided to just avoid using that side of the curtain instead of bothering anyone. We had dinner next door, which was excellent, and our server was fantastic. The location of the hotel really is hard to beat. After dinner we brought a few drinks back to our room, but when we opened the refrigerator we found someone else's leftover lemon bar along with drinks that had expired in November 2025. That was honestly the moment everything else clicked. It made us seriously question how well the rooms are cleaned between guests. Later that night we wanted to make tea before bed, but the hot water station was empty. The next morning we mentioned it to the front desk and asked if someone could refill it later that evening before it ran out again. Instead, we were told that we'd just have to call once it was empty because it usually runs out by 7 p.m. That response was frustrating because we were trying to be proactive and avoid having to call later. For a hotel that's close to $300 a night, I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation. The second evening we did end up calling because one of the fire pits wouldn't light. Maintenance came out within about 10 minutes, got it working right away, and was incredibly friendly and helpful. That was one of the better customer service experiences we had during our stay. There were definitely some positives. The location is amazing, the ocean views are beautiful, the fire pits are a nice place to relax in the evening, and every member of the housekeeping staff we interacted with was incredibly kind. They were happy to chat, offered recommendations, and genuinely made us feel welcome. We also really appreciated being given a complimentary one-hour late checkout, which gave us time to enjoy one last walk along the coast before leaving. Overall, the employees we interacted with were friendly and helpful, but the cleanliness and condition of the room simply didn't match the price. Between the musty smell, stained carpet, lizard, questionable shower curtain, leftover food and expired drinks in the refrigerator, and other small issues throughout our stay, we wouldn't choose to stay at Cambria Landing Inn again. It's a beautiful location, but the rooms need much more attention and better quality control.

We did have a slight miscommunication on the room type but we were able to make it work. The rooms did have a smell to it but you get use to it. There's a pool with a fire pitt and right across the street is the walking path. Absolutely stunning at sunset! They also have a swing which is nice to sit on. Jack was here to check us in and assist. They also had cookies for you in the room. Wouldn't suggest the ocean view because only 1 room has a full on view. Otherwise it's all off to the side with partial view.

For $350+ a night, I expected a little more. The room looked…read moredecent enough at first, but the strong musty smell and stained carpet quickly changed that impression. We were also tucked way in the back in a dark corner of the property, which wasn't exactly inviting. Then the little things started adding up. The shower curtain rod was pulling out of the wall, the wallpaper around the shower was loose from moisture, and the ice bucket still had trash from the previous guest in it. At that point, it starts to feel less like an older coastal hotel and more like nobody is really checking the rooms. The pool was half empty with green water sitting at the bottom. Maybe it was under repair, but it definitely wasn't usable. Housekeeping is another strange setup. If you want your room cleaned, you have to request it the day before, and then repeat that request every day. You can't just ask for service for your whole stay. At check-in we were told they used to offer complimentary breakfast, but the new company stopped. The alternative was to walk down the street to another hotel and pay about $20. The next morning my wife went for hot water for tea and they were out. The suggestion was to use the coffee maker in the room. That works, I suppose, if you like your tea with a little coffee flavor. The guy at the front desk wasn't rude, but his attitude was very much, "it is what it is." And to be fair, I've stayed in worse places. The difference is, those places usually charged a lot less. For $350+ a night, FogCatcher is asking you to overlook quite a bit.

I am writing this review as I have time in the hospital emergency room waiting for my partner to…read moreget care for his injury from falling in the hotel bathtub. I reviewed half of the Yelp reviews now again and there are a large amount of reviewers mentioning the safety concerns of the bathtub not having a safety bar and the ventilation fan is weak, and now I am realizing it is all true. I noticed the tub was slippery when I try to shower first and came back out to put the small nonslip bath mat that was provided under the sink. I have to make sure I only step within the non slip mat and get in and out of the tub slowly to prevent falling and I am young and able! I should have warned my partner when he goes into the shower, because his outcome was a disaster. From how he described the incident, he came out of the shower stepping off the nonslip mat and slipped and fell hitting the edge of the toilet. The bathroom vents are loud and you can hearing it running but I don't think it seems to work because the mirror was still steamy. The bathtub wall and tub of course stays wet longer as well I assumed. I just want to write this review for the future travelers to be careful, and I do hope the hotel management will consider installing safety bars after reading the reviews. I did read reviews before picking this hotel and saw the tub and vent reviews, but at the time I would never think this could happen to us. I have yet to think how to request an incident report with hotel staff yet as I am still waiting in the hospital for my partner to get stitches on his head. We checked in the hotel around 8pm and the incident happened around 10:30pm, so we don't have much time in the room to write about other amenities of the hotel. One thing stood out to us is when checking in the front desk mentioned twice she did not get to take her break time. I hope management read this to give the front desk an extra hand for breaks!

What this place DOES Have going for it:…read more (1) Great location -- across the street from south end of Moonstone Beach boardwalk. (2) A little less than half a mile from what seems to be the one and only restaurant along the beach. (3) most delicious quick breads as part of the free continental breakfast. (4) spotless "tiled" floors, it's some sort of fake wood, not sure, but in any case, it's not dirty disgusting carpet (5) cute fireplace--and for that reason it seems like a great place to stay during the winter FYI: refrigerator is hidden in cabinet below the TV! Things I wish I'd known before I booked: (1) no air conditioner, (2) $15/day extra if you want Wifi fast enough to stream video or work on laptop with MS Office; (3) no full length mirror, (5) no true protein macro at "complimentary continental breakfast". Cambria in general is a small, quiet town with beautiful boardwalk along the beach. Cambria doesn't seem to have a great food scene. Nor does it have a legit grocery store. But perhaps I didn't search hard enough ... WiFi connection was an issue for me.
