    We came by to enjoy a quick one night and two day trip in Cambria a few months back and loved our stay at the Rigdon house. The host Christian was very hospitable and kind throughout our whole stay. He welcomed us upon arrival and showed us the wonderful amenities. The atmosphere is just perfect, and the rooms are spacious with a Victorian charm. The vibe here truly feels so homey and cozy, plus your nestled in the trees and greenery outside. So many nearby shops, restaurants, and markets in walkable distance. Overall my partner and I loved the room/stay and even more the kind and vibrant hospitality. I cannot wait to return soon!

    Dirty towel.

    The check-in desk closes at 8PM, so make sure to arrive prior to that time. The house is old-fashioned, but everything looks nice. There are complimentary treats and drinks for guests in the lobby. The room is big and has refrigerator inside. One bad experience was finding that dirty towel on top of the bathtub. Was not sure the usage of the dirty towel and everyone was off work at 8PM. Need improvement in cleanliness and cleaning up.

    Our room

    Very charming! We stayed in the suite with a cute kitchen. We had a speedy check in along with a tour of the house. We had full access to the well stocked kitchen and an invitation to a free 2 drink guest Happy hour. We enjoyed our visited with musical entertainment and sat in the patio with a beautiful outdoor fireplace. Everyone was kind, friendly and a bonus was the cleanliness of our room and lobby area.. It was a perfect in every way! We would love to return if we came back to Cambria.

    Happy Hour Drinks!

    We have stayed here a few times, and we love it. The first time was about three years ago. We try to come regularly. We just got back from another weekend at Rigdon House. The staff is friendly and great to chat with. We love the accommodations and the location. Our favorite places are just a few minutes walk from our room. We love: 1. Happy hour and a complimentary drink; the Cosmo is excellent. 2. The room is spacious and relaxing; we love the windows and the comfy bed. 3. The firepit is pleasant and inviting, a great place to meet other travelers. 4. The location is close to everything. 5. Parking is excellent, close, and plentiful. What we would improve: 1. The TV could be updated to a Smart TV so we can stream our favorites, like Netflix and Paramount. 2. The water pressure in the shower is lacking. The shower and the bathroom are clean and feel new; they are nice, aside from water pressure. 3. This is small, but mount the TV to the wall so the fireplace does not lean. It's not a problem, just a tiny improvement that would go a long way.

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - vacation THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located on Burton Dr closest to Rodeo Grounds Rd cross street - very quaint - good amount of (free) parking in the lot for the hotel itself + on the street - patio at the back with a working fire pit THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - lots of character and super cute! - living room area that has a cool wooden ceiling and board games - dining room area (cottage vibes) with complimentary fruit, coffee, tea, and snacks (i.e. popcorn) - other living room/bar area is great for sitting and talking (and partaking in the complimentary happy hour hosted by the hotel) - we got the king suite (room #25); the room is accessed outside vs the interior staircase by the lobby, which was nice because it was easy access to the parking lot/street parking - room #25 was super roomy! loved the fireplace and how big the bathroom was (lots of counter space and bathroom storage for our extended weekend stay + the lighting in there was great) CUSTOMER SERVICE: - warm and welcoming - loved the tour the concierge gave us when we checked in - loved the happy hour

    The wife and I came for the Paso blend fest and needed a place to stay. She found Rigdon House on Travelocity and booked it because the price was right and it's super close to everything in downtown. Then again everything in downtown Cambria is close to everything else since it's only a couple of blocks long. We found the hotel easily and got taken care of by the manager, Alexa. We were a little early for check-in so she showed us around the hotel and we came back later to check in. You can tell the hotel was at one time a house and got added to over the years. It has a quaint, old world charm. Before going to dinner we had a couple of complimentary drinks in the lounge and chatted with Alexa. Then we relaxed in the back by the fire pit. The room we stayed in was HUGE! I thought maybe they had made a mistake but I wasn't going to say anything. Alexa said that our room had recently been remodeled and it showed. The bathroom fixtures were awesome. Whomever put this room together must watch a lot of HGTV or something. About the only downsides to our room were that it didn't have central heating. No problem during the day but at night it did get pretty cold in the room. The hotel did provide 2 space heaters so I ended up putting 1 on each side of the bed when we went to sleep. Also because this was once an old house you do hear the creaky floors when people walk around upstairs and you can hear the water run when someone upstairs flushes the toilet. But these are very minor inconveniences. We LOVED our stay at the Rigdon House. Unfortunately Alexa mentioned that she was going to be moving to Oregon in the near future so the hotel has big shoes to fill when she leaves.

    Natasha claiming our dog is the problem instead of taking ownership for the flea infested room. Unbelievable.

    I am hoping this review reaches the owner so they can make the experience right. I booked 2 rooms at the Rigdon house for one night this past weekend. When my husband and I arrived in our room, we sat on the bed as his parents took our dog to their room to unpack. As we were on the bed I pointed out a jumping black dot I thought was a flea, but because it disappeared quickly my husband was convinced it was a piece of fluff. It unfortunately was a flea and I wish I acted on it so I wouldn't have to deal with manager Natasha. We sat by the fire with Kirby, our dog, on our lap, grabbed dinner, and went to bed. By 2am we were covered in flea bites and in the morning Kirby couldn't stop itching. Sure enough we found little black dots in his fur. We left at 7am on Monday after a rough night of sleep, but not before I filled out a form letting the hotel know this room was infested with fleas, taking a picture of my legs with bites, and requesting to be contacted for a refund for our room #18 (only our room- the other room we paid for was fine.). I followed up with an email and used the dated form and flea bite photo as an attachment. Today Natasha reaches out and tells me she will not be giving me a refund because she had someone check for bugs and there was nothing so my dog must have "gotten from the surrounding forest and beaches." Even though we did not explore in Cambria. I asked Natasha for proof of the pest control check, knowing for a fact they would have to find fleas there since we found them in the bed. Her saying there were no fleas made me realize that she didn't actually check since fleas will stay much longer than 2 days. Natasha didn't send me proof, instead she insinuated that my dog was a problem because he didn't get along with another dog. I'm not sure what that has to do with a flea infested room, but I went ahead and let her know that the owner let us know before hand her dog was not friendly to humans or other dogs and so we kept them separated while we were sitting around a fire pit. My dog is very friendly to dogs - but again why did she feel the need to bring this up? Poor management skills. I hope someone with better management skills than Natasha can right this wrong and investigate properly. Even if she claims Kirby got fleas from "beaches and forests" the fleas would be in that room. That literally proves she didn't check properly. But of course, as I said, we didn't explore any areas in Cambria. Kirby didn't play with other dogs. We came to stop for dinner and rest and at 2am we were being bitten by bugs. As a responsible pet owner, I understand fleas happen. As a responsible pet owner, I immediately filled out the form so they wouldn't book someone in the infested room. But even if Kirby wasn't there we would have gotten bit because I saw the flea in the bed. I would have still have had to ask for a refund from a restless night of getting bit. I understand that fleas can happen in a pet friendly hotel, but what Natasha is doing is negligent. We should get a refund if they can't help their bug problem. I hope the owner sees this issue and investigates properly. I am appalled that this is the way she is handling this.

    Wow what a great place! I will stay here next time I come out to Cambria. There was a very nice lady who helped me over the phone pick my room that was right for me. When we arrived Christian was busy working but quickly stopped to great use and show us around. He checked us in and we went to our beautiful room. I was very please. I am always fearful of places that may not be cleaned well. This place was tidy. What a relief. There is happy hour and on some days live music! Chairs to lounge in and different rooms to hang out- outside of your room. Outdoor hangout with a fire out. Lights strung across the sky for us to enjoy the night away. I highly recommend this wonderful little Gem of Cambria!

    Stayed here for 3 days for my daughters Sweet 16th Birthday and had a wonderful experience! The Rigdon House was built in the late 1800's, & is located in East Village in a perfect location near shops and dining. Everything was of excellent quality! The grounds are so cozy and nice. Awesome patio out back w a fire pit. We had a pet friendly family room that was so spacious and clean. I love the snack area next to the check in lobby & library. They supply fresh fruit, teas and coffee. There was also yummy apple cider! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was very sweet and quick to help w toiletry requests. This is the best lodging experience I've had in a long time. Can't say enough good things! I will definitely return to Cambria and stay at Rigdon House again, and again.

    Had a wonderful time in Cambria - a large part of it was due to staying at the Rigdon House . Room was extremely clean- we especially love the bathtub and the location is literally walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in town . There's complimentary drink and appetizers every night and live music on Friday I believe . Shout out to Cristian who was extremely warm , informative and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again when we visit in the summer :)

    See all

    So first time staying. This place did not disappoint! Best hotel! Went for our 30 yr anniversary …read more Staff so nice everyone! Room was great and clean. View of the ocean was sweet. Love that it's one story. Inside coffee, and mornings specialty coffee and food to order . You do though get a free basket every morning with fresh orange juice and pastries with fruit and cheese. So cute! They also have wine and food patio. The outside grounds have tons of chairs to sit and watch the waves and sunset ! You must stay here a great experience

    1. They might overhaul their card key system. We stayed here for 3 nights ( unfortunately) and we…read morehad to have our card keys replaced 4 times to get into our room. What a waste of our precious time. That we were being charged for. 2. Nice big wall mounted tv. Spectrum system. It worked but once You found the guide, You could not select a show to watch. You had to go channel by channel and hope to find it out of many channels. By the way, the remote they gave You wasn't a Spectrum remote? We even went to the office for help. They couldn't make it work. I wasn't here to watch TV of course but When it's dark, breezy and in the 50ies outside a nice sitcom before bed is sometimes nice. 3. This morning we went to get a cup of coffee at 8:05am. Coffee is supposed to be available @ 7am. Not open. 5 other guests were waiting patiently. Could we ask the office? No it wasn't open either. It finally opened at 8:10am. 4. Oh by the way, bring your sunglasses for Your room. The only lighting is spot lights in the ceiling. Nothing you can control from bed side. Were there any dimmers to adjust the lighting down from solar flare to reasonable. Nope. Just the palm of my hand or sunglasses. Again By the way, the Cambria area is awesome with some great wholesome dining experiences. Linn's and Robin's. Wow! We've stayed along Moonstone over the years. Just never @ the Cambria Shores Inn. Guess what? Never again because there are lots of choices along Moonstone. I'd like to rate it a 1 star. But, Mother Nature helped take the feeling of total disappointment away. Every time We strolled down the Moonstone board walk across the street it melted Our disappointment away. For a while. What a beautiful Ocean front.

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!

    I want to express our sincere gratitude for Sam's help…read more Our original room was extremely hot and muggy, likely due to the location and weather.

    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.
