Things we liked about Rigdon House were the complimentary happy hour, outdoor patio and location. Staff were nice, and we appreciated communication prior to the trip when the room we booked had issues. During that communication we were offered complimentary dessert for having to change rooms but we never got it. The hotel has so much potential but is very outdated and worn on the inside. The rooms are spacious but could definitely use some love. We got a good price, but will probably look elsewhere if we go back to the area.

This is an amazing and relaxing property. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are clean, and the location is close to town with plenty of things to do. It is a relaxing spot. The happy hour at 5pm is wonderful. We like to stop here on our way home for a night to shorten the drive between Santa Barbara and Northern California.

I always enjoy staying at Rigdon House. Good price. Good location walkable to restaurants. Good free happy hour. My room is usually good but this time not all the lights in the room worked so not easy to use my laptop at the desk. Only 2 pieces of paper towels left so had to go down and ask for another roll. There were hairs on the bathroom floor and one in the sink. Housekeeping needs to be more diligent.

The staff was the best part and he was also a gifted bartender.
Our rooms were not cozy, furnishings were outdated, it was dusty, and to have two bedrooms advertised with only one having a window and being the access path to the other, a dark dungeon, is an awkward floor plan.
I cannot understand what on earth makes this an outstanding hotel??
Sorry, Expedia, not a good joke!

The staff was so friendly and informative. Definitely thought of all the little touches, like snacks in the lobby and toiletries in the bathrooms. they have a happy hour with drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Everything is set up beautifully and well thought out. I would absolutely recommend, and would stay here again.
The town of Cambria is so cute. There are plenty of places to eat, and everyone is very friendly.

You will have the feeling like you are staying at home. After check in, receptionist will give you a tour around the house from lobby to backyard. No receptionist or any staff after 8pm, the house is yours. You have the key and code to access and enjoy in lobby, have dinner at backyard or make a cup of coffee and have breakfast in dinning room. It’s the first time I have that unique service. I like that experience.

The Rigdon House was a wonderful choice for our family's long weekend trip. The location is unbeatable — surrounded by cute shops and just a 3–5 minute walk to great restaurants.

Christian at the front desk was a standout: incredibly warm and welcoming. He even invited our three kids to enjoy happy hour, where the whole family was treated to drinks and snacks. Little extras like coffee, tea, and hot chocolate made us feel right at home.

Our family room was spacious and came equipped with a fridge and microwave, which was super handy for reheating leftovers. The cozy fireplace out back was a lovely touch to end the evenings.

Overall, the Rigdon House is a true hidden gem; highly recommend it for families!

The room was conveniently located and spacious. Beds were very comfortable and the space was clean and could accommodate multiple adults comfortably. We loved that there was a fridge, microwave, kitchen table, and tea pots and sets. Cherry on top was the fireplace and tv for each separate room, one set for the king bed side and one set for the side with the two queen beds. The bathroom was spacious and there were ample towels to use, lots of space to place luggage neatly. Clean hardwood floors. We loved being so close to Main Street to walk to eat at the restaurants, bakery and wine shop,
We had an awesome time,

Such a cute place. Love the little touches like the private tour when you check in, the games in the lounge area, the adorable tea cups, their happy hour drinks, an actual real key on a gold keychain, and the fire pit on a nice patio. I wasn’t expecting much from the price, so was very pleasantly surprised. Certain things are outdated, but in a cool old fashioned way. And you can walk to shops and restaurants so the location is perfect. Would stay here again.

This was our third stay at Rigdon House and our worst. We like Rigdon House because check-in and check-out is--at least was--easy; rooms are clean with good amenities; restaurants and shops are in easy walking distance; and there's a huge patio in the back with lots of seating.
It was our worst visit because:
1) There was no desk clerk available much of the time. In our past visits there was always a clerk at or very near the check-in desk. We had to wait to check in. There was a posted phone number, which I called, but I had to leave a message. It was never answered. A clerk finally appeared. To his credit, he was friendly and helpful. But there was no clerk available when we left Rigdon House to head home. I like to get a print-out of the receipt to make sure there are no unexpected charges. (There never have been.)
2) The room mattress was terrible. It actually squeaked and creaked--fairly loudly--with each and every turn of our bodies.
As said, this was our third stay. It is very probably our last, mostly because of the absence of the desk clerk.

Bed was great, which in my opinion is the most important aspect of any hotel room. There was a huge amount of space in the room, which we appreciated. They are dog friendly, and the rooms provide enough space for fur babies, even though we weren't able to bring ours. The staff is helpful and the location is fabulous to hit some cool parts of Cambria. We loved hearing the frogs from the nearby creek and the view is great from the room. We liked the firepit outside as well. Parking was easy and the wifi was pretty fast. Even though it's an older property, everything works. It's not the fanciest place ever (it shows its age), but it has a really nice mellow vibe, and it has now become our \"go-to\" place to stay whenever we want a mini-vacation in Cambria.

We visit Cambria twice a year to see family. The Rigdon House been our \"go to\" but, unfortunately, it has lost its charm the last 18-24 months. The rooms are in dire need of an upgrade. The bed(s) is far too soft and causes backaches. Terrible night's sleep. The furniture is old and falling apart. The sofa cushions were shabby, stained and smelled of body odor. Lamps either have burnt out bulbs or the switches are broken. The TV's and internet are a hit or miss. We only had WiFi for one of our three nights. They also added a front lobby door entry keypad without telling us and found out that evening when the \"only\" staff member on the premises was leaving for the evening (8 pm).

There’s water filling station with ice dispenser. Outside, it looks old but inside it’s quite updated especially the bathrooom. What we experienced as 1st, they have happy hour and you can have 2 drinks for free, pizza, with live music. They really want their guests to relax and enjoy their stay.

The Rigdon House was such a delightful place to stay. This small inn is just a block or two from Main Street in Cambria, making it an easy walk to charming shops and delicious restaurants. It’s also conveniently located directly across the street from the Cambria Christmas Market shuttle pick-up spot.

The gentleman at the front desk was welcoming, friendly, and very helpful. Our two-bedroom suite felt modern, clean, and fresh. Each bedroom had its own fireplace and TV, and the suite included a small fridge/freezer combo, coffee maker, and microwave.

The Inn offers a daily happy hour, although we were out both evenings and didn’t get to attend. Coffee and snacks were always available for guests to grab, which was a nice touch.

The only challenge we encountered was figuring out the heating system. The wall thermostat controlled the AC, not the heat. Eventually, we discovered the heat came from the fireplaces—though only one of the two fireplaces was working (the one in the second bedroom).

Overall, The Rigdon House was a comfortable, clean, and lovely place to stay. We will definitely be coming back to the Rigdon House.

This is a boutique hotel with a lot of charm. Our family suite was spacious and lovely; although, the carpet was a bit run down and the vents could use a cleaning.
