El Colibri was a nice hotel, but a little expensive for the amenities. The rooms are newly remodeled in crisp, clean decor. The lobby area is home to a small (and pricey) wine bar. The hotel's location requires you to cross the freeway (via a protected intersection) to get to Main Street, the heart of Cambria. The Paso Robles wineries... More

This hotel was a hidden gem. From the moment we arrived, friendly staff clean rooms, and contemporary atmosphere. Longe area where breakfast and wine tasting is served was very inviting and comfortable. Highly recommend.

The staff was great and helpful. The staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. The staff warmed up food that we had brought with us since we have special diet restrictions. The rooms were clean and comfortable. It's right off of Hwy 1 and within walking distance to town.

My uncle and I were looking forward to our road trip up Highway 1 and an overnight at the El Colibri Hotel. Due to a medical emergency, we had to curtail the trip. I called and sent a follow-up email to cancel. The hotel gave no response. None. Zip. Just charged us full pop. An overall miserable experience.

We have been going to Cambria for weekend holidays for nearly twenty years. Over the last several years we've been anxiously awaiting the opening of the Colibri, as we've seen it being built year by year. This month we finally got a chance to book a room, and sadly we were unimpressed. I don't want to say anything to dissuade... More

We booked this hotel because it was located close to Highway 1 and we needed a hotel close to Hearst castle which we were visiting the following day. The quality of the hotel was outstanding and the staff were very helpful on our arrival. The hotel has a underground car park with enough spaces for all the guests. We booked... More

Requested and guaranteed private room due to business travel last summer. Was actually booked the worst room next to lobby area. Staff was inconsiderate and extremely noisy in the lobby. No sleep first night, asked to be relocated and denied for second night, so requested consideration due to early business meetings. Was awoken all night, and not aware of the... More

I find it a little nerve wracking to book smaller, non chain hotels online. Not that I havent had bad experiences with chain hotels but you have a some level of comfort knowing that certain standards are LIKELY to be met. I couldnt have made a better choice of hotels by booking El Colibri. We wished we had more time... More

We enjoyed our stay. The hotel was clean and updated! They have a nice 24 hour roof top jacuzzi. The continental breakfast was nice and great for travel. They also have a parking garage which was nice so we didnt have to put our Jeep top on. This was a great stop in our travels down 1. I would definitely... More

It was everything we expected. The king suite was very specious with a very comfortable sitting area. The continental breakfast was very nice. We found the staff very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
