We stayed here in the past, but this time it was pretty bad. First, checking in, the woman was not friendly, a bit curt. 2. The worst was the noisy bed- it made so much noise with every move, and it was pretty uncomfortable. 3. It is false advertising that there is free breakfast, nothing like we are used to every where in the US. No decaf coffee, no juices, no yogurt, no toast, no hot food except oatmeal, and the advertised sweets, was one small cake that all guests had to cut up, not sanitary at all. 4. We Had set up for our room to be cleaned on a Tuesday when we checked in, which they did not do. We were able to catch cleaning personnel at 5:30pm before they left, and got some towels, Kleenex and garbage emptied. That helped. 5. No vending machines on the grounds. 6. And there are 2 small bottles of water (about 10 oz.) in the room, that were $5 each!
Will not stay here again!

We love this place! We've been here before, and we'll return. The couch, the fireplace, the reading light. It's very cozy.
The downside is that the heavy room doors slam a bit if you don't close them slowly, and people opening and closing doors in the hall can be a bit loud. There was also cleaning or maintenance staff talking on beeping walkie-talkies first thing in the morning, which kept waking us up. Hopefully, that was a one-off because we'd love to return. The window in one of the rooms was really hard to open.
The breakfast is ok, but there's pretty much no protein. We love the raisin cake, though. All in all, a swanky place. Next time, if it's warm enough, we hope to try the outdoor pool.

The property itself is okay. Bed was comfortable. That’s the good. Now the bad. Continental breakfast was weak, so plan on eating out. The WiFi was VERY spotty, and since most carriers have poor signal on Moonstone, you’re going to be left with very intermittent phone/internet access. The worst part was the noise. The walls are thin and the doors don’t have soft close mechanisms, so you will be listening to slamming doors all the time. It got so bad at 6am on a Sunday that we decided to eat our last night and check out and move to another property. Would not come back.

The view is amazing, the fireplace in the room was cozy. I absolutely love everything about the hotel except the bed. It was not comfortable. If you like a really firm mattress, then you will probably love it, but it could definitely be updated or at least add a thick pillow top. The room smelled a little stale so maybe a little bit of a room freshener would be nice as well. I absolutely would recommend the ocean view room to sit outside and enjoy the view. Even at night, it’s dark over the ocean, but the moon was bright and it was just relaxing to sit out there listening to the waves.

Check in was a breeze! Even if your rooms not ready, the beach is right there (can't get any better than that) and you have access to the pool if you'd like (which is heated).

The room was very spacious and very tastefully decorated. Maybe add a mirror to the room itself as the bathroom is the only place with a mirror. Bed was comfortable, some signs if aging and use in the bathroom, but still clean, which is most important to me.

Large TV, in room fridge, no ac, but there was no issue for us at this time.

Breakfast was enough for us, pastries and coffee. Will come back

Our front door would not stay closed finally we learned how to pull the handle up and pulling it back-and-forth several times maintenance never did come to fix it. Also our screen door never locked but they fixed it and then it broke again.
We wanted to check in an hour and a half early and they wanted to charge us $50 we said no thank you. Then they said OK you don’t have to.
Breakfast was a joke, all there was was pastries two kinds orange pastry bread and pumpkin pastry bread with instant oatmeal and some granola bars lousy oranges and some apples.
Breakfast isn’t until 730 and we’re up early so we couldn’t even get coffee. Coffee closes at 10:30 in the morning so you have to wait till the next day unless you make it in your room.
The property was quiet we did enjoy the water.

Brandon was very helpful & accommodating with all my questions prior to our stay. His winery & dining recommendations were on point. We had a great stay overall and will definitely be back.
The “continental breakfast” was; making your own instant oatmeal, premade coffee, a loaf of pre-sliced lemon or coffee cake, granola bars and apples to go. Seemed very limited and no where to sit, you had to take it back to your room. Not the worst but not the best. However now that we know, we can bring our own food options for our next stay.

The second day there was nothing out at 9:30am and several us waited until we gave up. When I tried to discuss the lack of breakfast the manager was argumentative and defensive.

The ocean was seen from my patio room beautiful view. The hotels personal were more than helpful on my concerns and catered to my needs. Look forward to going back to because Cambria is a great place to relax and enjoy the views. If you get here about an 11/2 earlier you can enjoy your bottle of wine before you get in to eat, so i recommend eating at the sea chest bar and grill and main Street grill in the town of Cambria.
