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!

Cute exterior

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.

Bathtub in our family suite :)

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 :)

This place is incredible! Had never heard of The Rigdon House until it popped up on hotels.com. Glad it did. Super friendly staff checked me in, then walked me to my two room suite room (#20). The lobby smelled incredible and she said that it was due to the bacon jam she was making for Friday night's happy hour appetizer. Happy hour is from 5-7 and includes two drinks and the appetizer of the night. The hotel is very cute, quiet and clean and right in the middle of town. I honestly don't know if I will ever stay anyplace else when visiting Cambria.

We enjoyed our stay and all the front desk employees were extremely polite, helpful and accommodating. The room was very clean. The fireplace is easy to use and extremely effective. However, I would like to make a few suggestions on how to improve the experience of staying at Moonstone Landing for all your guests: First, please provide your guests with 3-ply, SOFT toilet paper. The cheap, one-ply toilet paper this hotel uses was horrible to use. If you're asking guests to pay premium prices for these rooms then at least provide them with decent toilet paper. Second, please consider investing in NEW, comfortable outdoor patio chairs with accompanying foot rests. The chairs you have now feel cheap and uncomfortable. Third, I would jazz up the "average" continental breakfast. It's the one thing hungry guests look forward to every morning and the pastries provided leave one underwhelmed and still hungry. Linn's cheese danish pastries are delicious but the other two muffins were "meh". The boiled eggs are fine. I think adding a variety of cereals would be appreciated. Maybe provide granola bars? Fourth, I know renovations are costly. But at some point you'll have to redo the stone flooring in all the bathrooms as the long cracks in the stone initially make a bad impression. Again, we enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this hotel. As a long-time patron, I'm offering my insights in the hopes you'll make the necessary changes to stay competitive and continue to draw in new guests.

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 will never stay here again. Maybe the people are not gay friendly... not sure. Bye, bye! Next....

The rooms were clean and well sized, with large bathrooms and comfortable square layouts. One small note: the shower has a half-glass panel, which doesn't fully prevent water from splashing onto the bathroom floor. Pro tip: bring bedroom slippers, as the stone flooring can get chilly . 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. Most rooms include a fireplace, except Room 21. There is no in-room coffee maker, but complimentary coffee and a light breakfast are provided daily in the lobby. The lobby is small but very inviting, and comfortable with a cozy fireplace and stunning views of Moonstone Beach. There's also a second-floor observation deck with even more panoramic ocean views. An excellent spot to enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine. Plenty of parking is available directly in front of the rooms, making it very convenient. There are complimentary beach bicycles for guests but you have to sign a waiver. We went for an early morning ride along Moonstone Beach Dr. It was fantastic!! At $178 per night including taxes and fees, this is hands down one of the best values if you want to stay right by Moonstone Beach. We would absolutely stay here again. Happy Travels!
