We took our dog and we had a great experience by the ocean. It was a minute walk to access the boardwalk and the neighborhood was very quiet and within walking distance to restaurants.
reasonably priced, excellent location close to restaurant. Lots of seating on the property for quality time with loved ones… including a couple of fire pits. Adequate parking but does get full since it’s a popular place. Easy check in and out… Loved Lady June! Toiletries provided and ice machines, fans, space heaters, coffee makers, irons/board, fridge and microwave
We would definitely stay here again! The location was amazing, wonderful staff and we had a huge room! We loved being right across from the beach and enjoyed the beautiful walking path and tide pools. We had our dogs with us and we were gifted with a sweet welcome bag that included a ball, treats and a list of dog friendly places to eat. Such a sweet touch! The beds were extremely soft so it was a little hard to sleep for us and the rooms could definitely use an update but other than that I would definitely recommend staying here!

The location is wonderful. The town has great vibe and best coffee!
Place in great location. Room very nice with a partial ocean view, but please clean the windows so one can enjoy it.
Appreciate the extra towels already being in the room.
BONUS- EAT at Cambria Cafe. Best breakfast burrito I have had in a long time with fresh salsa!

Great staff and a clean property. Well maintained and close to the beach.
I had a really lovely stay at FogCatcher Inn. The property is quaint, peaceful, and has that classic small-town charm that makes Cambria so special. It’s directly across from Moonstone Beach, which made morning walks and sunset views absolutely beautiful. The location is a huge plus.
The room itself was very clean, which I really appreciated, though the property does feel a bit outdated in places. Parking was easy and stress-free, and the overall atmosphere is super quiet and relaxing, perfect if you’re looking to truly unwind. They are also absolutely pet friendly, which is a huge bonus.
That said, the WiFi could definitely be stronger, and the amenities are fairly minimal. But if you go in expecting a coz stay rather than a luxury hotel, it really delivers. Overall, a charming spot in a beautiful location. I’d absolutely stay again.
The desk folks were so nice. Enjoyed the morning coffee in the lobby. Our room was fantastic and the heating fireplace is a bonus. Location is perfect. Thank you.
