This is an old motel that demands top dollar for a room. In fact, the whole darn town of Cambria is a collection of old motels that demand top dollar. Cambria is basically a beach town without the surf shops. Some may call the rooms rustic, I prefer the term "old". It was not clean. The sofa-beds in the room... More

This is an old converted motel. But they did a nice job on the rooms, very spacious. Small fridge & microwave. In the AM there is a breakfast spread in the lobby that you place on a tray & take back to your room. Nice short walk to the ocean across the street where there was lots of wildlife to... More

Was surprised how close the Inn was to the ocean, across the street. This location was close to everywhere we wanted to visit. Everyone in Cambria was great, wonderful room, breakfast, heated pool and spa. Will stay again More

The Sea Otter Inn is one of the motels on Moonstone Beach Drive; there are at least 12 on this road just north of the village of Cambria. The hotels are all across the street from a rugged coastline with sandy beaches interspersed. There is a raised wooden boardwalk across the street that stretches through native vegetation that allows a... More

Usually I stay at the Creekside Inn while in Cambria (I go there about every six months), but this time I decided to do something different - plus I got a good rate here, thanks to Travelzoo. I like the Creekside Inn because I enjoy staying in town and having everything within walking distance. Because I live in Half Moon... More

Nice little Inn on Moonstone Beach. It was very cozy and comfortable with a private patio and bistro table. The gardens are lovely and well cared for. The room was clean and comfortable with a fireplace and small refrigerator. A view of the ocean and a short walk to the bluffs to view the seal lions and coastline. Great restaurants... More

Great place to stay near the Hearst Castle. Rooms were clean. Walked across the street to the ocean and saw seals. Stayed in December so the temperature was cold at night. More

We knew the location was great, and the photos looked good; but we really didn't know what to expect, and we were pleasantly surprised. Our room was very nicely furnished, including a nice fireplace; we were very comfortable, and only wished we had stayed longer. More

The room is very spacious (we had Garden room with 2 queen beds). We even managed to pitch a tent in a room for the baby to sleep. )) The room has all amenities: bath tub, hair dryer, shampoos/bathsalts/etc. There is mini fridge and microwave in a room. Also there is a coffee maker. There is a nice fireplace in... More
