"This was the perfect place to stay in Cambria! It is walking distance from downtown, which we took advantage of. Our stay was very quiet and the room was very clean. There is a small refrigerator and a microwave that was the perfect size for what we needed. Plenty of space and the bathroom was a good size. Check in and check out was quick and the staff was very friendly."

Cambria Landing Inn & Suites

8/10 Good
"We stayed in a one bedroom suite with queen and pullout before visiting Hearst castle. This worked well for our family of 5 and we were pleasantly surprised by 2 bathrooms. Access to the beach and boardwalk to walk next to the ocean is directly across the street. Fun fireplaces for outdoor gathering are also on the property. Overall this was a great place to stay near San Simeon. Only two complaints keep it from a 5 rating - we got in late and had to check in at a different property. Also the air conditioning unit ran all night tho we did not have it set low."

"Location and room were amazing. Check in process after 9pm was a disaster. You check in a sister lodge but they didnt know incidental fees and wanted to charge me a much larger amount. Asked for my card info to be written on a post it. It was just messy and unprofessional. I wasn't advised of any amenities or the wifi code upon check in. This place was super cute just wish it was a better experience."
